rumours can be true or false, not "reality"Quote:
"The rumours are reality."
I also heard the slim PS3 will be cheaper as well.
But this announcement Sony will make could also be about another hardware thingy.
Reality is what is true/tangible, therefore a rumour (which is inherently unverified/false) can become a reality.Quote:

I don't think the lardyness of the PS3 is the thing that's costing Sony the console war..
:rolleyes:
I'll wait till the new ones come out then buy an old style one if I'm going to get one.... it'll have it's own shelf anyway
Official price will £250 according to Sony. The design is all right nothing special tbh. I think my phat PS3 looks better. They should have put some chrome on for a bit of bling! :D
Also from the pics I cant see how you would remove the hd? Is it possible with this new one?

Same here, it does look like a P*ssies console in comparison to the old.

I'm not bashing Sony... well maybe a little but I don't mean any harm, regardless of sales figures look at how quickly they've come up with the slimmer, sexier rebranded PS3. It was six or seven years before they squeezed the last of the life from the original Playstation hardware with the PSone, the PS2 got it's slimline version four years after the original hit the shelves...Quote:

I hope it works for them, I'm looking forward to GT5 and Heavy Rain myself this year, I picked up the console pretty much for those games (well them and MGS4) and I think between GT5, Heavy Rain and God of War 3 they're set for a much better year than last year.
