PS3 Slim and Lite

[Nodz86]

I was walking past game yesterday and saw they are taking pre orders for a slimnd lite and you can get it for a tenner or something if you trade in an old PS3.

 

Just wondering what the differences are, apart from the obvious ones of it being slimmer and lighter and having a crapper logo and looking matt rather than shiny.

Will Overheat Too Easy...

 

Also They Have Removed Many Features That The Standard PS3 Has.

[StrickenHAWK?]

The only thing I like about it is the price drop.

[T1M]

I like it, other than the colour, the old one was just mahoosive lol.

[GTAMADDOG]

Don't like it.

 

Looks like it's been made from recycled cheap plastics. Looks boring either way.

 

I'll stick to my shiny gloss finish.

[Who]

The size will be a massive bonus, the original is a monolith.

 

still not getting one. i simply dont have £250 to spare with uni in a year, and the need for a new bass for my band which will also be ~£250

[Baldy]

I'd get one if there was anything worth playing. Still seems like it's lacking behind the rest in my opinion.

[Shy Guy]

Well the original is huge, and its also a porker.

 

This looks like the PS2 in a way.

It won't. They shrunk the fabrication process for the CPU to 55nm from 90nm. It'll run a lot cooler. Same for the GPU I think.

 

It's about 30% smaller and uses 35% less power. Has a 120GB hard drive and isn't backwards compatible with the PS2 games.

[Who]

 

Why is it that it reminds me of a dreamcast?

 

seriously, the sqaureness of it, the finish, the rounded top and those big circular buttons? am i the only one?

 

[t.]

Cool, did they fix it so it can play TDU, Gears of War, Fable 2 and Forza yet?... ah... guess not. Ah well, t'was a nice try.

[Baldy]

But it has the newest getaway, oh hang on they cancelled it.....

[Nodz86]

And its got GT5, but its always delayed.

 

Mellors they got rid of backwards compatability when they discontinued the original 60GB ;)

 

Tbh I prefer the looks of the normal one, but the slim and light rumours have been about for a while now well since xmas I think and iirc there might be a 160gb aswell.

[Eudemon]

If you guys are looking into the prospect of getting a PS3 shopto are doing a pre-order deal for £229.99. I'm not going to affiliate link you guys with it as that would just be too cheeky, but if you're interested it's front and centre on their website.

[Baldy]

I think you should put the affiliate for it, it's not cheeky at all!

Why remove backwards compatibility?

 

I'm glad M$ don't keep updating their console in a vain effort to get us to 'upgrade' all the time.

 

... oh wait yeah they do.:lol:

[T1M]

and iirc there might be a 160gb aswell.

I heard in Game [over their radio station thing...] there is going to be a 250GB coming at the end of this year. ;)

[Nodz86]

Why remove backwards compatibility?

 

They removed it after the first version of the PS3 (60gb iirc) none of them afterwards (20gb, 40gb, 80gb) had back compatibility. Can't remember the reason though

They did it because if they included backwards compatibility with the PS3, then there would be no market for the PS2 anymore. ;)

[T1M]

Pre-ordered mine today.... :D

[hpluls]

I saw it at the store today... I was surprised at how quickly it appeared in stores :eek:

 

[T1M]

Wtf, the box is bigger than the 360 box yet its smaller? :confused:

[Who]

they're shooting themselves in the foot with the big box, they're going to want to show it's a small console by having a small box, silly buggers

[Impala SS]

Ooh why...?

I don't like the new desing looks like a brick!

The "classic" desing are better!

in HMV u can give them your 60gb console and they will give you one for £49.99, but 60gb's will sell for more if you keep them as they dont make them anymore
