Examiner again. And you guys all lap it up! Haven't we learned already that Examiner is batting .000 when it comes to gaming news?

I could do better just by visiting N4G everyday.

That being said I could create something like this in less than 30 minutes.

Go Sony. Bring your incredible product to everyone on this planet.

How much?

Damn, its from Examiner!!

PS3 Slim confirmed to exist.

I saw it.

it is hard to decide ps3 slim or psp go, between I own xbox 360 and Wii.

Sony is just a beast when it comes to hardware refinements. I mean coming out a year late to the party and getting a slim before anyone is pretty impressive. And they did it without too many hardware problems for consumers. Pretty good stuff.

And we're off....

Got two PS fatts at home, could use a slim.

It's pretty much all but confirmed at this point. I'm confident that it exists, and will be out soon.

The biggest question remaining?

Price.

We'll know soon.

And here we go.

Poor bots all they had left was sales. Now they're going to brag about RROD exclusivity: "bu,bu, but my console fails more than yours Hahaha!"

that does it for me. This is enough proof for me to sell my current ps3 before the slim comes out, so the used value doesn't go down.

I really am hoping a psp slim comes soon. my desk space won't be able to handle much more

I'm starting to believe more and more that there will be a slim model this year. I already have a PS3 so I don't really care; however if the slim comes out I'll definitely consider getting one no scratch that I WILL get one.

It needs to be $299/£199 or less really;)

Then like that guy in that Film 'Blade Runner' said -

'IT'S TIME TO DIE...CHATBOTS' ;-D

+ I REALLY, REALLY erm REALLY Hope the PS3:Slim has FULL PS2 Playback back;)
That is all i want really(+a USB Port at the back would be sweet)
The PS2:Slim had a few more Features in it when that came out. So i hope so;)

how are they gonna dissipate the heat in the slim to me is mind boggling....some AAA engineering....Sony does hardware proper

...has Console been spelled with a "K"?

i must be an 80gig or higher version an should be less then 299$

I hope it has some exclusive features.

So they're essentially admitting that the console costs too much for most people and that they have "non essential parts" that they could remove.

Good move Sony :\

This song will play when it launches:

I didn't know "console" was spelled with a "K"./fail

If Ballmer has anything to say it will probably be

"Sony's Playstation 3 Slim Price Drop is a Rounding Error"

and dismiss it like he did the iPhone and Google..

Hmm

Ok now this is evidence...

It seems like the PS3 slim is the worst kept secret in the video game industry. I ,for one, cant wait to see it in person. The mock up images look extremely sexy. And at this point I could really use a second PS3. I'm tired of my fiance hogging the PS3 to watch our massive Blu-ray collection.

Is anyone else registering that ... ?

Does anyone have any pictures of it?

This is fake...the picture was photoshopped at GAF and uploaded to Amazon.

Release right as the the holiday season is kicking off. Release GT5 before the end of the year and everything will be gravy for sony. :)

this isn't the ps3 slim! this is a just a look like pic that has been made by photoshop.

Now that Jim Ryan is gone just need to remove Herman Hulst from his position! And maybe give Shuhei the position he deserved.

This gen hasn't been the best for games, last gen consoles are still out there and now there's been talk of the PS6 and Xbox Two for a year or so. Many games this gen will be ported to next gen and the cycle will continue. The re-release of the Neo Geo AES+, games on cartridge for £70 ($95), gaming is going back in time. Gaming has gone pricing mad with the high cost of games, consoles and controllers. The men and women at the top are clueless.

It’s always interesting to hear behind-the-scenes stories like this, especially involving veterans like Shuhei Yoshida and leadership figures like Jim Ryan. That said, there are usually multiple sides to decisions at that level. It could be less about not “listening” and more about differences in long-term vision for PlayStation. Yoshida played a huge role in shaping the brand, so whatever the reason, his impact is undeniable.

If true, and I'm inclined to believe it is, it goes to show that Sony lost their way when they became more western/didn't respect the PlayStation origin story. Andrew House and Jack Tretton did great work, but they also didn't try to fundamentally change the PlayStation DNA. Ryan oversaw the death of Japan Studio and a live service direction.

I already figured this, good lord imagine if Shuhei took over instead, would've been a platinum era 😩

I miss the first three generations of PlayStation. The way they turned PS3 around, we knew they meant business. We were all worried for a bit there around launch. Eventually from 2008 they started shifting slowly. But since Yoshida was fired, it's never been the same. Still enjoy my PS5 daily. I got a backlog dating back to PS2 lol So I'm fine but new games aren't as appealing anymore.

It seems like we were thrown on to the worst timeline possible where everything is too expensive and the wrong people were put in positions that makes the world a shitty place. We could have had Shu as the head of PS but we got the shitty alternative. Same goes for everyone in power around the world. Doesn’t matter the company or country the majority of us got the shitty picks and the world is declining like never before. I do think PS can come out of this because of their studios, talent and IP but they need someone more in touch with gamers leading things like Shu was. They’re still the best place for console gaming imo but it could be much better than it is especially without the massive live service failures. The rest of the world I have a lot less hope for right now. Hopefully the pendulum swings back towards the good ole days but I’m preparing for the worst.

There goes illuminati distraction story

So now there's certifiable proof that Ryan was in fact "fired", as opposed to when it was first announced that he "retired", in order to save face.

There's another guy who recently "retired" as CEO of another large gaming company, after doing a dismantling job as lead for well over a decade.

seems legit, the business man, fires the one who has ideas to move the business forward.

Jim Ryan is the reason why we are entering year 6 since the PS5 launch and many of us don't feel like the PS5 has gotten started as yet.

I hope going forward, we will see a return to form.
