Sony rubbishes PS3 redesign rumour

CVG Writes:

E3's just around the corner and, as always, speculation as to what guns the big three platforms holders are going to fire is rife, the latest being of a redesigned PS3 to be revealed at the show next month.

According to reports, Sony is preparing to make TWO hardware redesign-related announcements, one widely believed to be a new PSP, and the other now speculated to be a (possibly slimmer) redesigned PS3.

Sony UK, however, has told us today: "We currently don't have any plans for a redesigned PS3", so you can throw that one out the window.

O sev sev....PLEASE don't post this type of rumors on your site any more or youll end up like surfer girl and those other insiders.

Mike134nl6092d ago

the rumor was about 2 possible hardware designs at the e3, one being the redesign of the sony psp and the other being unknown leading to the speculation of a ps3 slim.
Rumor could still hold some truth if there is another hardware design of a sony product.

Pennywise6092d ago

Ive heard the same thing about price cuts RIGHT BEFORE price cuts. Dont rule it out over this PR response.

If Sony have x number of current PS3s sitting on shelves and are bringing out a new design, they're not going to reveal the new design until most of the old stock clears or else people will stop buying them.

@ Unbiased, don't you worry about me.

We aren't going anywhere.

Within about a week, no one will doubt me again.

anh_duong6092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

all respect to you sev because you are the best source of leaks regarding all things ps3.

however, there is no shape redesign yet .. .. there is a newer model that runs cooler with a 45nm chip but the design is more or less the same other than a cooler chip, quieter heat sink and lighter weight.. but the overall dimensions won't change..

Lucreto6092d ago

Care to elaborate on that comment. You can PM me. I can keep a secret. :)

Sev6092d ago

@ above,

You wouldn't be able to keep the secret I have. No one could. I have been sitting on it a month now, and it is absolutely killing me. It's news that will implode the internet.

:)

Lucreto6092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

Pretty please get me a "Origin of Species" book and I will swear upon it.

I have secrets that will horrify and scare you. >:)

If it is killing you share with me I will help you with the burden.

Unbiased16092d ago

Gee thx Sev, now you made me all go insane with "what could it be"

Christopher6092d ago

Just that it could be one of a few possibilities. This means we now have one less possibility to work with.

locos856092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

Please stop teasing us with this news you will have next week. It's tough enough to wait for E3. but for some reason I am more curious to what info you are keeping from us.

Just give us a clue so we can speculate while we wait...

Is it about an unknown/known game coming?

Is it a new service from Sony?

Is it new hardware coming out?

Is it Ps2 backwards compatibility?

Is it details on an upcoming patch?

Just a clue would be nice or answer any or all my questions.

Edit: @ Below

Oh ok. I would say Team Ico related. Shadow of the Colossus 2 maybe?

Sev6092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

@ locos,

it's somethIng COlossal.

@ below -
Actually there are 3 letters in caps.

Max Power6092d ago

is that capitalized "o" mean anything or is it a typo?

I_am_rushin6092d ago

Sev never said it was for the PS3. I bet it is for the PS2 with some kind of motion controller to compete with the wii.

Christopher6092d ago

Uh-oh, Sev is turning into a Sony hint machine like that one post for E3 that had all the words highlighted.

Hey, wasn't one of those words colossal? Oh, yes it was...

Stop teasing Sev. We'll be patient, we promise.

Kain816092d ago

can you tell us which Genre it is???

LordMarius6092d ago

"Actually there are 3 letters in caps"

ICO!!!

"it's somethIng COlossal. "

SotC 2!!!!

heroicjanitor6092d ago

He capitalised the i in something and the co in colossal so it's ico, can't wait!

Panipal20056092d ago

Yeah Sev's been teasing that he's got big, exclusive news about the next Team Ico game a lot lately.

I proposed a bet - a rather high stakes bet - that in fact he wouldn't have anything solid to show by a certain date....as of this moment he has not take me up on it, which leads me to believe that he's got nothing, and is...you guessed it...lying for hits AGAIN.

Care to prove me wrong, Sev? Care to accept the bet?

-EvoAnubis-6092d ago

We're not going to be baited into doing something by anyone, let alone you. We'll post what we have on our schedule, not yours.

Panipal20056092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

Or, Sev doesn't have anything to show until after E3 LIKE EVERYONE ELSE.

Oh yeah, Sev himself said 'in about a week' and I was prepared to give him until a week on Sunday. So much for me dictating your schedule.

Pictures and/or video, title, and game concept, anything less ain't going to cut it. Can you do that?

-EvoAnubis-6092d ago

Just remember you said that when we show what we have.

"You wouldn't be able to keep the secret I have. No one could. I have been sitting on it a month now, and it is absolutely killing me. It's news that will implode the internet.

:) "

Don't DO that! Are you trying to make me asplode?

For some reason, Shadow of the Colossus 2 doesn't seem right, it's an awesome announcement if true, but it was kinda a niche game. Doesn't seem like enough to crash his site. I think there's more...

Grr Sev. You make me impatient.

BISHOP-BRASIL6092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

@Lucreto

Bubbles up for refering to Darwin's "On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life".

@Shadow2797

Be patient! Way a week man, don't go @SSplode in us now. LOL. I just couldn't help it.

When the said PS3 redesign it still don't rule out a mother board redesign. I mean it's common knowledge that IBM & Toshiba are already producing 45nm Cell chips. So Sony could be in the process of swiching from 65nm Cell too 45nm Cell. Case could stay the same size, which would allow the chips more room to breathe.

Sarick6092d ago (Edited 6092d ago )

If it's a slim PS2 with standard laptop HDD support I'm buying one.
