The guys at T3 are saying one of their inside men has heard word that Sony will be producing a slimmer, sexier PS3 heading for the shelves this autumn. While everyone knows that Sony will eventually shrink its very obese console, such news would come as a surprise given that Sony took many more years to shrink their PSOne and PS2 (though Sony has recently successfully shrunken their Blu-ray laser to fit in laptops). Still, Sony's biggest goal at the moment is building consoles cheaper. Maybe that means small, too. Maybe it doesn't.

Either way, T3's mock-up looks sexy as hell, and they also think a new rumored 160GB model could appear in the new slinky, skinny-as-Kate-Moss form.

If we see one for sale in any territory in 2008 I will eat my hat.
Surely T3 has to be one of the most unreliable sources ever!!

Way too early in life cycle for them to contemplate it (or even be able to, there is no way they can shrink all the innards so soon!)

Would be nice, but I have to say...Not likely.

If they can make them slim already, then why not throw the PS2 hardware in the case 2 and give the thing full PS2 compatibility :p
 
Anyone that posts links that contain the text T3 or Gizmodo should be banned immediately.
 
Of course it would come at some point, seeing as they've so far tried to replicate the PS2's market strategy almost identically.

It's just a matter of time..
 
What a ridiculous number of itterations of one console we are seeing these days. The different Xbox packages, now all the PS3 models. .
 
I think what they've done there, is to take the whole 'smaller blu-ray laser' thing and then leap to a hugely elaborate conclusion that it'll mean a slimline PS3 is on the way.
These people should work on the sports desk of The Sun.
 
I've no doubt that a slimmer PS3 will arrive but I doubt it'll be as soon as they say.

Like I said in another thread, a slimmer, matt black version would be very nice.
 
It's just a mock up by that magazine. It does look like they've just cut and pasted a Wii drive onto it :p
