I found my next Christmas present.


New Playstation 3 this autumn?

Our man in the US has hunted down news of a size zero version of Sony's killer home hub.

Trawling the CES show last month, we happened across a rather juicy piece of gadget gossip.

According to a particularly well-informed insider, it seems that the Big S is prepping an all new PlayStation 3. The new incarnation is supposedly slimmer, lighter weight, and sexy as hell.

It's not as if Sony haven't got a history of making things slimmer and, er, lighter: The PSP shed a lot of its weight last summer, the original PlayStation ended up as the minuscule PSOne, and the PlayStation 2 re-incarnated as the PSTwo, which was an all-round sexier piece of kit to boot. Roll on PSThree?

Specs-wise, we're probably looking at the same machine with stacks of space and the trusty Blu-Ray player on board. The new PS3 is a proper looker: if it's anything like the illustration our team of designers have come up with, then we're looking at one hell of a sexy piece of kit.

We wouldn't be at all shocked if the much-touted 160GB PS3 is in fact this slimmed down puppy.

Sony has peddled their usual line of 'not commenting on rumours and speculation', but that is exactly what they said before they dropped the size zero edition of the PSP.

For now, that's all we have. But rest assured we'll be pounding the phones and keeping our ears pricked for any news as soon as we get it.

Like the pictures we've got here? Then you'll love the ones we've got in T3 magazine. This little beastie looks a hell of a lot better in full, glorious, glossy high-definition print than on a pesky computer screen!

I have heard about this earlier...

I like my "fat" PS3.. :D

Maybe Sony figures out the heating problems with the slim one.

"Back in the day" when slim PS2 came out, i talked to this gamestore guy and he told me that those things overheat quickly...

Dunno if that was the case but still...

meh I'll always go for the bigger one, I just think they look better. And in the case of the slimeline ps2, I thought that just looked rubbish and there was no proper way of turning it off, unless you wanted to unplug it

Indeed, when i took a quick look at it i first thought it was a Wii but on further inspection it turned out to be a PS3 :hmm: Sony sure likes to steal and charge 599 US DOLLARS for it :laugh:

But i guess you'll find me soon having a PS3, because MGS4 is coming up and GTA4. With only those 2 games, i can entertain myself for about 4 years or more.


BTW TopGun, just hold the ''On/Off'' button for 2 seconds :p

i've actually left mine on for a month paused in vice city (wanted to get a little old school before gta4 came out). it's never overheated, and still hasn't given me a problem since i got it a year ago.

The slim PS2 was epic fail. The day I bought it, put in Colin McRae and played for an hour, the system shorted out.

They sacrifice on the cooling a lot.
