According to T3, Sony might be releasing a slimmer PlayStation 3 in Q3/Q4. No words on other specifications. Yeah, possibly, just like the PlayStation one and two goes slimmer after sometime when they were released.

Im pretty sure its fake . Im sure its plausible but at this time its not gunna happen anytime soon since theres so many different SKUs and Sony is soon releasing 120 and 160gb versions of ps3. They need to make a profit not lose more money

hm yeah, i 2nd this thought. sony doesnt usually roll out the 'slim' versions until near the end of the thing's lifetime. when they bring out the slim versions like they did for psx and ps2, they usually make a lil extra off it.. but the ps3 on the other hand is only beginning to reach its prime. wouldnt make sense (at least to me) to bring out the slims so early?

I'd prefer the current size of the PS3 anyways, it matches the rest of our HT gear.

Something too small would be too easy to break.

Actually SSD Drives are faster,quieter, and generate less heat.

They have also been developing a smaller more efficient Cell processor, among with other things such as a smaller Blu Ray laser.

It will happen, just matter of the time.

But I will keep my current ps3.

They could produce a slimmer more refined model this year, or at least, revise the innards to reduce heat dissipation and improve overall stability. The images posted seem to be from a third party conceptual group, so of course that image is mostly fake, it is in no way by sony themselves. Nonetheless, everything aforementioned is highly possible (though not necessarily going to happen) as the PSTwo came out a few years after the PS2 (Fall 2004 vs Fall 2000) It will have been two years after the initial release of the PS3 and there are lot more complaints with the current gen which need to be addressed.
I am the minority here.

A new design would help in the long run... but making cosmetic changes could hurt it right now, since they'll have to design it and then set up factories to manufacture these new version PS3. And if the PS3 doesn't end up selling many units, that could just be more money down the drain. It'd probably be better when the PS3 starts to gain a bit momentum with the causual gamer crowd or when it nears the end of its lifetime (which maybe sooner than we think at this rate *wink*) when Sony's safe to know that such a design would bring in overall profits than losses.

But regarding the picture... it looks 90% fake to me... It looks like a Wii on a really skinny metal base. It'd be an engineering marvel to refit all the PS3 components into such a small cramped and limited geometry.

IBM now makes a smaller Cell chip that uses less power, which needs less cooling, which will make the PS3 cheaper, smaller, and more reliable.
So they have the technology to do it.

It's up to the bean counters when one will be made.

I'm gonna hold off on my PS3 purchase until a) we see at least one more price drop b)GT5 and/or MGS4 sells for the Greatest Hits price.
I'm in no rush.

Of course it looks fake, it's not even comissioned by sony. It's some fanboy/girl who made their own design most likely.
