new ps3 slim

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrOS_0Ulv7M


looks cheap.

Doesn't look much slimmer, but I like the flat black. I read that it'll be the same price as the bigger version, which is BS.

it's $299

Yeah, I know. I think it might be the 80 GB regular PS3 that is also 299...so it's not terrible.

The orig is £299 so it's a price drop in the UK.

it is smaller.

but looks crappy to me:

Yeah, does look a little weird. I'll keep mine as long as it works, I think I can exchange it for a new one if it does break...I possibly still have warranty on it.

I think the original is a pretty good looking machine, esp. compared to that marshmallow of an Xbox... but the price cut is good. The 80gig is down to $300 and the 120 slim will be $300. It looks like a new PS2 to be honest, with that cheap flat black. But it does use 30% less power which is good.

In other news: new Uncharted 2 trailer via GamesCom:

If you have a PS3 and have not played Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, I suggest you sock yourself in the gut.

Ouch that hurts.

I have been enjoying poker on Home its been a lot of fun

It's true though, it is an AWESOME game. The whole things plays like a movie, almost.

i've been very pleased with my original 60gb ps3 (upgraded the hdd to 160gb). with 4 usb ports, multimedia ports, ps1/ps2 compatibility, and all its shiny sexy fatness... well worth the $600 price tag. but the cheaper slimmer ps3 means more sales. good move on sony's part. i can already see my friends list doubling (from 5 to 10 lol).

x2!

I have the 40 gig (meh) with only 2 USB ports, no backwards compatability or media card readers, and I'm happy. I'd love to throw in a bigger HDD, but other than that I really haven't missed PS2 games, and I don't use more than 2 USB ports.

I got the 80gig when they had the motostorm bundle and used software emulation and i STILL wish i wouldve gotten the 60gig for the hardware emulation instead. I like to have the BC cause sometimes when my buddies come over we get nostalgic and throw in a ps2 game or 2. the software BC sucks because it'll freeze once in a while and there are some that wont even play. all in all nto too bad for the amount of them that i play.

Once i can find a hdd for mine thats big enough to hold all my blurays and the ps3 can play .mkv files then I dont think anyone will pull me away from the tv

with Uncharted will I find myself enjoying the game like a movie (sorta like MGS4 did?) I still havent played it but this thread has gotten me interested. When GT5 comes out we all need to race in our virtual celis.

Does anybody else wish we could put the games on our HDD like the 360 does? I know some games (mgs4) put a bunch on at times and then remove or overwrite it later. I just think itd help some performance is all.


M.A.G..........................im still drooling over the thought of that game. I jsut hope it doesnt fall flat on its face

I have Warhawk on my HDD - no disc.

And when I got Uncharted I sat down and didn't get up til it was basically finished.

i have warhawk, calling all cars, marvel vs capcom 2, and some ps1 classis on my hdd. and yes... uncharted is probably as close as you'll get to controlling the protagonist in a major blockbuster film. the character animations and gameplay almost blend in seemlessly with the cutscenes. maybe even better than mgs4 cuz theres also less mind-boggling dialogue. its kinda like an action flick with some comedy thrown in, almost michael bay-esque with less stuff blowing up.

Got in the MAG private beta today!

15 codes were posted in this video: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2009/09...not-sharing.ars

Just got word while making this post that the codes are used up, so i guess ill report in on it. Look elsewhere for codes out there though.

weird times for the beta however "They're good from 9/17 to 11/8, though reading some fine print indicates the beta is good from 5PM-8PM and 10PM-1AM Pacific only, for each of those days,"

I've been playing the Uncharted 2 Multiplayer demo. It's ok - not spectacular. The games can get pretty intense, but the killing & being killed seems pretty inconsistent. Always seems as though I'm easier to kill then everyone else.

thats bc u are not good at the game.

I hate the uncharted multiplayer. They shouldn't have bothered.


Sure the sp will be good though.


I've applied for the MAG beta, hopefully will get in next week. Theres a 6GB download though :-O



Got need for speed shift this week, anyone else got it? It's awesome, pretty similar to Grid. Nothing like the old nfs games

My MAG DL was under 3 Gigs IIRC. I also heard that NFS Shift was jsut soso gameplay with great graphics. Dirt 2 has been keeping me up at night lately

Yep, there's a 3GB d/l, then ANOTHER 3GB patch d/l this week......

Some uncharted gameplay, looks cool:

Definitely Sonys time now, so many great exclusives, 360 seems to have nothing


Anyone else getting God of War collection? They've remastered GoW 1 and 2 in HD, releasing before Christmas

I have 9 gigs left, I really need to upgrade my HDD.

how does one upgrade there hdd without getting a new system..and how can you tell how much memory u have left?

If you still have the instructions that came with the PS3, there are instructions in there how to do it (take that X360!). If not, do a google search. but it's super easy, plug in a USB hard drive of equal or greater capacity (not the new HD) to the PS3, go into the system settings, go to backup and backup your PS3 to the external HD. When this is done, power down and unplug the PS3, on the bottom you'll see a little cover with a screw, take that out, remove the cover, pull the HD out, take the mounting bracket off, put it on the new one, then slide it back in and put the cover back on, plug in and go. i think you have to initialize the hard drive when you first turn the system on, after that, plug back in the same external you used for backup, then go to system->restore, and restore from the USB hard drive, and you should be set.

if i'm missing anything, somebody let her know.

i don't remember right off how to check and see how much you have left, it's in the system menu somewhere.

Mine's been full already because I have around 15-20 demos...I just deleted the old ones. I think I'm too cheap for another HDD.

i followed this video....

Got into the MAG beta, 2661 MB left to download, and it's the slowest download speed i've ever seen

Probably because everyone's doing it at once.

I only have 9 gigs left on my HDD - I need to find a way to back my drive up or ghost it.
