News Rumour: PS3 Slim in production for August release

Sony already make a really nice looking full size blue-ray player, just take the innards from the PS3 and shove them in that, will blend in with the AV stack and look a lot nicer.

Oh and put the sodding USB ports back on the rear

 

And me.

kimby crawls out of the dark once again! I have to agree the PS3 is a very ugly beast under a tv or even in my field of view, hence why i haven't purchased one yet.

 

At least it isn't white

I just wish they would make consoles as a standard width AV component. I'd happily pay a fair wodge extra for it.

 

Too right! Could be a neat mod project to put a console into a nice Hi-Fi amp case?

Course you would void your warrenty and need a sutable doner amp. Maybe a releace day 360 user could step forwards?

 

I hate the current PS3.

Theres no way to make it much smaller unless they remove the PSU, another external power brick to rival the 360 one?

 

When I read this, the first thing that popped into my mind was a picturesque scene in the woods, with the two power-bricks fighting it out, samurai verses ninja style, each out for the others blood in a no-holds-barred struggle for dominance over the domain they both claim as their natural right.

Best. Day-dream. Ever.
