@ rudy the amount of people that would wait to buy a ps3 because of bgr is so small its irrelevant.. sony is much more worried about fixing its flawed marketing plan than some tech blog.. and actually sony would rather tech savy customers wait and buy the first release of a new ps3 because they would be marked up higher anyway..

does anyone here think, that this looks like the psp battery? or some sort of battery? ok maybe im a little lost in the world of design? i hope that if they do come out with a slim version, that it will also include a built in star trek and star wars lingo decipher? that would be kind of neat?

@ Jason Bourne –
The factory worker didn’t upload the picture on the BGR website, BGR posted it.

It does look very similar to the top of the current shell. One thing that raises an alarm for me to is the supposed box picture. If it really was a brand new, slimer PS3…don’t you think they would show that off instead of having an odd overhead shot where you can’t tell that it is any thinner?

All PS3s play PS3 and PS1 games

@Don,
nope. They ended the backwards compatability with the older 80gb model (only soft compatible). The ones on shelves right now only play PS3 titles. I have an older 80gb (a gift from an ex, and i told her not to buy it as I would rarly use it) and the BC sucks on it, games run soooooo slow. My roommate has an og 60gig and it plays ps1, ps2 and ps3 games perfectly due to the ps2 hardware on board. PS3 sucks any way! I loved my 360 til the RROD got me, and then M$ lost my business for good.

None of the PS3’s out not support PS2 games?

The dude with caps lock syndrome is right. It just looks like the top shell for a PS3. Compare this to the top of your current PS3. It’s pretty much the same, minus the shiny bits.

THIS DEVICE MAY BE A SLIMMER DESIGN VERSION, BUT I’M GOING WITH IT ONLY BEING THE TOP PORTION OF THE SYSTEM. I MEAN LOOK AT IT, IT LOOKS LIKE HALF A SYSTEM IN THE PIC.

I actually like the new “cheap” look (if these pics are real). I’ve had enough with the whole industry glossy, fingerprint magnet look. This new look in the pictures can be compared to the mat finish that is used in the Silver PSP-3000.

QUIET THE INTERNAL COOLING FANS then I will buy one.

RUDY….BGR didn’t take or leak those photos. They weren’t even the first to publicize the pictures. Once those pics are taken and leaked the harm is done and they will be all over the world in a matter of seconds. Your beef should be with the factory double agent not BGR.

Could it possibly be a KIRF (knock-off)?

BGR,

While I can appreciate that you do an excellent job of keeping the public informed about the latest tech, there are times when certain considerations should take place that are in the best interest of the consumer.

We just read about Sony’s billion dollar loss. I also understand this did not stem from PS3 or PSP. However, if you are leaking this kind of info before Sony wants it unveiled, don’t you think that maybe it will be hard for them to move their current PS3 inventory, and hence, eating an even bigger loss? Ultimately that hurts the consumer whether it’s the delay of innovation, delay of price decreases, or general health of the business.

I think this is one of those situations where you should have just kept it to yourself.

the backwards compatibility is one reason why I rushed to get them before they were all gone. I could not have been happier.

As nice as it would be to get a smaller one, I’d have to give up my original PS3, which has the hardware emulation of PS2 games still. Gonna have to pry that bastard out of my cold, dead hands.
