It sure looks ugly, and it doesn't look much smaller than the current model. Also 16GB is very surprising, considering some games require big installations. Oh well, let's wait and see.
I, for one, am extremely happy that this might happen. I have been looking for an excuse to buy a PS3 for ages.
Hell yes count me in I crushed my ps3 on the street one day because of a family feud it still works but it is not aesthetically pleasing.
No thanks, I already have a 5+ year old PC sitting here, gathering dust. And even that is better than the PS3.
Hmmm, need a ps3 here at the firestation.. if the price is right, that is...
Just bought a 500gb hdd for my slim ps3 for $65, so that's not much of an issue since I can put my old 120gb in place of a 16gb..

@Ricky: Dude. You serious? Reread. Pretty sure they all have been wireless. My first was the MGS one though. Ivknow that was.
@ PhilK3nS3bb3n,
Slightly ironic but I'd suggest you reread Ricky's post. He's lamenting the lack of wifi N support, not a lack of wifi support period.

if this comes with a price drop (kinda doubtful considering one just happened fairly recent-ish) i'mma snap one up so hard.
@zeejay:
That would be nice; id just put my old 120gb in there... especially at $100, but doubtful... I can see maybe 150.

*facepalm* thanks smg. I totally deserve tofeel like an ass for that. My brain made it look like non. My brain is stupid.
Normally I'd reccomend going for smaller hard drives on consoles purely because having stuff lurking elsewhere online isn't that bad a thing.
A 16GB PS3, however, is useless, as most games require a 5GB install FROM A DISC.

If they handle this one the same way as the other PS3's hdd size is hardly an issue. You can get them so cheap nowadays.
It is so damn ugly though. Nothing like a Sony product.

I remember when they leaked images of the other Slim PS3 and I said it was hideous then ending up buying it, I don't think it looks too bad now that I'm used to it.
What's with the corrugated cardboard look of the top of the unit? I may just buy a current PS3 Slim at this rate.
my friend's mother made $263164 so far just working on the laptop for a few hours. Read more here N u t t y R i c h dot cOm
So it's officially top loading now? Can't say I like that. Most entertainment systems these days aren't made for that. I would have preferred it stayed slot loading, or at least tray loading like the 360.
Anyway. I'm happy with my non Slim 2nd Gen PS3. If this redesign helps cut costs further and lets them get a current gen console with a hard drive down to $200 before Microsoft can, I guess I'm all for it. Do it along with a Vita drop and maybe you could bundle the two together for $350. Would sure be a nice Wii U competitor, assuming they expand Remote Play/Cross Play.

What are those yellow and red things on the side of the first picture.
At first I thought they were RF cables. My mind was ready to get blown at the thought of such futureistic tech.

I'm willing to bet the 16GB is a typo, and it's 160GB. This isn't Microsoft we're talking about here.
I'm diggin it so far. I'll have to see it myself for sure, but it looks a shit ton better than the current PS3Slim. I've been wanting to pick up some units as gifts for family members so we can do some video chats, but I really, really hate the current slim model.

I'm having a hard time believing they'd have a 16gb version, except I remembered (and don't know how I forgot) that the 360's had a 4gb version of itself for a long while now.. I'm guessing Sony deciding to do a 16gb version must be because the installs on the PS are notoriously bigger, if someone wanted to (or were mandatorily forced to) install their game, they'd need bigger then 4gb.
Going right for 250 and 500gb models is a great choice on their part, the only 2 things that might stop me from finally getting a PS3 if this comes about is the price (I really can't see spending much more then $250 on this version) and the return of PS2 backwards compatibility (which seems like a long shot, but I'll join in on wishing it'll happen)

I think you need to enlighten us as to how this reminds you of a comic book character...

If you want PS3 for media/BD purpose and some PSN titles, 16GB flash is quite nice. At least you can put something on it, in comparison to 4GB 360.
At this moment there is no chance of PS2 compatibility return - that is kinda obvious - but in some time we will have it from Gaikai most probably.
Size - I'm not sure how precise that picture is, but it looks like much more of a resize, than fat->slim, especially in Z-axis, which I guess is the only dimension you can still significantly shrink it.

Looks - I like it, as I like all previous versions: kinda. It's in line with fat and slim, natural evolution.
Technically - would absolutely love love love faster BD drive, cost wouldn't probably rise significantly, and it would be so much better. Even 4x would significantly sped up installations and loadings, 6x-8x would be dreamy. And that's probably only thing that would convince me to buy it.

Most modern PS3 games don't require installs so if there was a 16 gig unit, it would most likely be flash memory built into the console like those 4gig XBOX units. This means its easier to install a HDD unlike upgrading when that requires you to have another FAT32 external harddrive to back up your drive.
