Isn't surprising, maybe with it comes a smaller price tag. Would be nice to new adopters and contemplatives alike.

sonarus5804d ago

Hmmm. This is not the first time i am hearing this. Probably a cheaper model that comes with new parts

Real gamer 4 life5804d ago (Edited 5804d ago )

That is exactly what i am thinking. But i bet we will find out some time next week.

SixTwoTwo5804d ago

It could just be a Dual Shock 3 SKU.

Skip_Bayless5804d ago

SixTwoTwo is probably correct. As far as I can see the 40GB has what it takes to be a perfect low end model. It also already has the 65nm chips. It's the 80gb that might need to be changing cause that's the 90nm still.

Yoma5804d ago

They were going to make 65nm GPU I heard from somewhere? That will decrease the price.

Dark vader5804d ago

It just might be the different version of the ps3 that sony might break even with. I remember back then sony stating that they plan to break even with the ps3 by august. Maybe they wil throw a different color in too.

MazzingerZ5804d ago (Edited 5804d ago )

yes bigger HD...c'mon guys don't forget that SONY is making official the movie download service (for you in the US) during E3 so a bigger HD is needed, that's all, no slim no a whole new model, probably a 80 gigger + DS3

The Mikester5804d ago (Edited 5804d ago )

I think there just going to add the Dualshock3 controller, hopefully a slim version and bigger HD.

thesummerofgeorge5804d ago

Maybe bigger HDD to go with the new PSN movie store?

Real gamer 4 life5804d ago

What do you guys think? perhaps a cheaper sku?

chaosatom5804d ago

yeah, with one that has dual shock 3, and honestly 40 gb is not a lot of space. I always need more. BC would also be welcome.

niall775804d ago (Edited 5804d ago )

a 40GB ps3 with BC at a slightly lower price (350) would be a good move

then again.. it could just be a newer chip set and its bundled with the DS3 (they did say there where planning to sell out of sixaxis by the end of summer)

Armyless5804d ago

This is already a rumor, and something many industry veterans expect. (Yes I know Sony is still selling mountains of PS2's)

himdeel5803d ago

...offer some way to trade in the old 40 gigs PS3 rigs for the newer model. If not I hope they offer firmware to play PS2 on all PS3 models.

Aquanauts Holiday at $500. Nice

I don’t collect games for their value I collect games I enjoyed playing. Many games I own are worth a lot of money but they must be games I want to play for me to purposely collect them. Most of this list isn’t games I would enjoy. I may have some of these games because I bought my friends PS2/3 Collection years ago and I never actually looked what was in it. It was a couple hundred games though still sitting in a box and I’m sure there are some good valuable games. I should go sift through it sometime.

Profchaos1d ago

I tend to agree for the most part rarity is linked to price
It's unusual that a rare game was popular with a few notable exceptions. Games released at the tail end of a consoles lifecycle which became popular years or decades later like little Samson on the NES or earthbound on SNES.
Or games that were banned after release in certain regions

Looking at this list there's nothing I'd be trying to collect either most of these games were fairly unpopular and bashed on their release leading to the scarcity seen now.
Especially NBA elite which I remember actually watching the news about how it got cancelled but had already shipped to retail it was so bad .

P_Bomb1d 1h ago

I still have Afrika. Who knew it’d be worth something?

MrBaskerville18h ago

Was unaware that Verdict Day was rare, glad I still own my copy. Game is very good.

Chocoburger15h ago

She forgot to mention Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Wizard's Edition with Ninostarter bonuses. This is the second or third most expensive PS3 game, and I own a sealed copy.

Thought I was the only one who remembered Trinity lol very underrated

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago

WET and Quantum Theory were both phenomenal

P_Bomb3d ago

I remember Stranglehold! One of the first DLC packs of its time. A bit expensive, but cheap by today’s standards.

Chocoburger3d ago

Another PS3 hidden gems list, and yet again Time Crisis 4 and Time Crisis Razin' Storm get snubbed. Such fun games, that shouldn't be forgotten. If only we got a home port of Time Crisis 5: Mastermind Edition.

-Foxtrot3d ago

WET is something I wish they'd remake, they had so many great ideas but not all of them were executed properly

It had a lot of potential

Also Wanted Weapons of Fate is another game that had some new fun gameplay ideas.
