slimline ps3

Sony is preparing to unveil a new slimline PlayStation 3 console, complete with a high capacity hard drive.

Respected technology publication T3, which is claiming to have the exclusive on the announcement, reports the new system will be 'substantially smaller and packs a massive 160Gb hard drive' which is four times the size of the current 40GB model.

Although a Sony spokesman said the news is "rumour and speculation", T3 claims to have been given the news by a 'particularly well-informed insider'.

Sony is renowned for releasing redesigned models of their consoles, with the PSP Slim & Lite the most recent, so a new slimline PS3 is not unlikely, but such a move would come as a surprise so early in the console's lifecycle.

If they did that would be pretty impressive considering what goes into a PS3. The PS3 as it is, is quite heavy. Where would everything go in that and what about the cooling as we all know PS3's and 360's give out alot of heat.

Both the PS3 and the 360 are feckin hoooooge and heavy. Think the 360 could be used as a very offensive weapon tbh.

The PS3 looks like it was designed to stand upright and side on really. Bit wierd.
