The PS3 Slim

What about Backwards Compatibility? Anyone know anything about that, or have any clue why sony hasn't succeeded in software emulation like MS, at least partially.

edit: I thought the mockup looked sexy.

nope, no PS2 games on this new PS3 slim. (yet...)

I must admit that the day Valve became PS3 hater, i did too.

This topic is direct insult towards me.

Did anyone already post the official announcement in this thread? I didn't see it so...

So worst kept secret is out now. Yeah the slim looks a little cheap in pictures but wait to pass judgment until you see it up close. All of us should be very happy, whether you like Sony or not, simply because it will mean more hardware out there and hence more opportunity for games to sell etc. etc. Hopefully more that will help speed up the global rebound of console game sales that so many of the people here ultimately rely on.

I for one would love to see a PS3 + Uncharted2 bundle as others here have mentioned.

Its hard to ignore a slimmer version... For me at least.... I found the old ps3 to be a humongous dust magnet.... Now its a bit smaller but its still a dust magnet. My biggest problem with their case is evertime i see one its covered in dust... hell my pc doesn't even get that dusty and i rarely clean it. xbox360's dont look dusty... Oh well at least with a ps3 you dont have 90 different white looking sex toys layed out around the place like the wii. ( i curse the wii )

After the amazing Orange Box release I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Does sony allow free dlc on their network, I thought they did. That would make them great for valve.

It's weird that all the Sony fans hate on Valve for that, since Orange Box PS3 isn't even their product, it's EA's.

Also the hardware issues with the PS2 Fat are what permanently made me switch teams to PC gaming. I was looking forward to that thing for so goddamn long, and I get it... and four months later it can't read discs anymore.

Everyone knows EA did the port.

Just for shits and giggles.

299 euro's = 422.7561 U.S. dollars

it was still valve's decision to give EA the port and presumably they at least tried it before letting them release it. the ps3 version was inferior and valve still put their name to it, no port at all would've probably been preferable for most people.

i like the look of the slim though, except maybe the psx, sony's machines always looked unique while the rest looked like 'just another console' if that makes sense. i was really hoping they'd give a date for GT5 though with this rumour it'll be out in 2009, it's meant to be at gamescom so maybe they'll announce it yet.

":8951xm2s]I still love my 60gb ps3 tho, it runs PS2 games!

this, persona4 is constantly in play lately

so it allowable to be both a ps3 fan and a valve fan?

my god i hate the ps3fats sci-fi-touch-sensor-shit buttons i want PHYSICAL buttons back and the ps3 slim has em !

if the ps3 slim also had backwards compatibility again i would totaly buy one even though i really have a fat one !

So looks like this is going to cost around 350 euros here in Finland, hooray!

Just ship it from amazon.

UK£ 249.99 = 290.59€

Plus 10/15€ for shipping costs.

but still 299,- euros is 423,- dollars, am I the only one that finds that disturbing.

same deal with steam http://steamcommunity.com/groups/1e1us

if only there was something like that for sony and if only "internet outrage" would ever accomplish anything in the real world

what a bunch of nerds. look at the tshirts. the combined BMI of that room must be astoundingly high.
