Whoooooooo. New Firmware update as well!

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Yeah, here's one with a video showcasing the new XMB Here

Released September 1st. I want it now.

I think I prefer this from Xbox's NXE thingie. It's most likely because I'm more used to the PS3's XMB, but from what I've seen (from using an Xbox in retail stores and friends) it's harder to find everything, and the XMB seems more convenient for me.

Well if you grabbed someone off the street and put them on the two consoles it'd be easier to navigate the PS3's features. But once you use it enough, the 360 is just as easy. To each his own.

So I'm assuming the older models of the PS3 get axed, and the future stock of systems will just be the slim?

I'm not selling mine to get a slim version though, I like my bulky one.

That's probably what will happen, and Im not getting a slim either. The Slim has more memory but that's it.

Sucks for whoever wants to get into the PS3 scene later on. Since you can't install other OSs on the system. Whoever wants a PS3 right now, might wanna buy the remaining stock of the original units.

PS3 Slim To Boost Sales and Phase Out Old Models

Unboxing the Slim PS3

The PS3 will not have firmware 3.0 at launch, and thus will be added later on. Backwards compatibility is still off the table. Looks like my PS2 is DEFINITELY sitting beside my bulky PS3 for old school games. The slim still has an upgradeable HDD, don't see why you would need it, 120 GB is big enough for me. (I'm still having trouble filling up 80 GB on mine)

I wish mine wasn't filled.... My 60 GIG usually only has 1-6 Gigs left from erasing various game datas to make room for more.....

Invest in a bigger hard drive, my friend.

100-150 dollars can get you at least 500 GB.

Eh, there's a 1 Terabyte Hard Drive my brother uses, but I'm too frugal to to buy one...

[Cloud]

Bah. You should get one, honestly.

I think the biggest the PS3 supports right now is 320 GB @ 5400 RPM Sata 2.5" Drive.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Some teasers from Titan Studios: I really wish this is real!

[GoNeKr@zY]

GAH. I was waiting for the slim to come out cause i used to think the Ps3 was waaaay too huge..... But thanks to Sony's retarded custom of reducing the features of the Ps3 as each new version comes out i might just go and get myself a Phat Ps3 now..... Removing other os support from the Slim is epic FAIL on Sony's part.....

[Illmatic]

so, can I change the slim's hard drive like the the regular PS3?

Yep. There's a screw right under the Blu-Ray drive to take out.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Hrm, so to achieve a cheaper price, all those stuff were taken out?? Aww...phail. But my pride in my old 60GiG continues rising! BWAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHA Erm...sorry....

[Illmatic]

Yep. There's a screw right under the Blu-Ray drive to take out.

cool, I might get one down the line.
