Say Hello To The Super Slim PS3

[GreenL420]

Sony sent us one of the slim(mer) PS3s announced last week during TGS. Now, before you dive into our gallery of images below, we should set the record straight on a few things – specifically, the new disc tray and the lack of a hard drive bay.

Update: The new model does indeed support new hard drives. To access the bay, you need to push off the plastic bezel on one of the system's ends. We apologize for the oversight.

As for the new disc tray, there's a plastic latch connected to a large plastic bar on the front of the console. Pressing the bar on the right side will turn the console on and off; the left side of the bar will release a latch holding the sliding door, allowing it to slide back and reveal the disc tray. Perhaps the saddest part of all this is how the sliding door doesn't make that "whoosh" sound from Star Trek.

In summary: It's indeed lighter and smaller than the previous two PS3 models, and it doesn't make any sounds from Star Trek. None.

This new, redesigned 250GB model costs $270 and is bundled with a copy of Uncharted 3 and vouchers for digital downloadable content. A 500GB model sporting the same new design will come out on October 30, bundled with Assassin's Creed III. That one will cost $300.

I think the PS2 design is still better. This looks like some 1980's shit design.

That spring loaded disc tray sounds squeaky on videos I've seen. Also it makes the whole unit seem cheap.

one more way for sony to make money, these motherfuckers are all money hungry, every one in this fucking world is!!

instead of lowering some prices in PSN, they bring new consoles, WTF?? if it wasnt for a FEW games i like on ps3, i wouldnt give a shit about any consoles anymore...

u buy a game, pay 60€ (which is 120 Deutsche Mark, u would never pay that muc back then for a ps game), then u finish the game two weeks later, u wanna sell it in the store u bought it, and they give u 20€ back, sons of bitches!!
