Feast your eyes on the new PS3 Slim with included Dualshock for $299.
The first thing I noticed that I really love is the fact that it won’t be a dust magnet anymore with a new brushed plastic finish instead of that oh so pretty shine. If you have kids or fingers then you most probably would have hated the shiny finish.
I’m not entirely sure I am sold on the new look logo, I became quite fond of the Spiderman text myself.
So click through to take a look at every angle I could possibly find of the new PS3 Slim. (click on the images for a better view)
The Top
The Bottom
And yes if you were wondering it annoys the hell out of me that I couldn’t find a picture of the left side… no real reason why… it just does.

Very nice, I like teh new look.
So what do you guys think it will cost in SA?
And any hardware specs as far as hard drive and back compatibility?

Wow , so there was no functionality taken away and none added ( well a slightly bigger HDD) and I am pretty sure the internal power supply of the PS3 will be removed and it will have a bulky power block like the Xbox 360.
I think we will see allot of new faces over at http://www.ps3za.co.za/forum as of September. I still prefer my ( now PHAT ) PS3 with the glossy look.
recon it will probly go for about R4000 and might include a game

its definitely got the psone feel to it. i’m not sold on the looks, but the physical size is appealing and the price is spot on (if it actually retails for R3500).
this should boost ps3 sales considerably over the next 6 months to a year.

how is it gonna stand on its side? i unfortunately don’t have enough space for my xbox to lie down it stands up and i was thinking of getting a ps3 on the basis that i could stand it vertical too. but the way its shaped it doesnt look like i could do it. damn

that makes no sense at all… buy a bigger desk / tv stand

Is sold seperately. Apparently the stand is $25 which is a really bad idea from Sony.. but I don’t like consoles standing vertically so I don’t care that much.
It should be included in the box though…

Even though it doesnt look as pretty, Im glad they went with the matte finish this time
