PS3 Slim = Sony's big GamesCom reveal?

Next week, the first GamesCom will kick off in Cologne, Germany. The successor to the Leipzig Games Convention, which drew more than 200,000 attendees last year, will be Europe's biggest gaming event by far. And now, judging by the increasing percolation of speculation, it will likely have global importance as well.

As anticipation grows that Microsoft will reveal a $100 price drop for the 120GB Xbox 360 Elite at its GamesCom conference on August 19, Sony Computer Entertainment has pulled back the curtain slightly on its own Cologne plans. Reports out of the UK have Sony confirming that one of the items on the docket will be the European launch of the PS3 video store. However, given that the announcement of the video store's North American launch took only a few minutes at Sony's 2008 Electronic Entertainment Expo presentation, that leaves the company with plenty of time for other announcements.

What else will Sony unveil? One publication claims to have the answer. The Web site of Hong Kong-based magazine GameWave declares that the long-rumored PS3 Slim will be the centerpiece of Sony's event.

"Sony alienates fat gamers"

LightofDarkness5407d ago

I find the conversations go more like:

360 Fanboy: DUHHHHHHHH DAHHHHHHH

PS3 Fanboy: DAHHHHHHH DUUUUH UHUH

Supposedly Impartial Gamer: I really shouldn't be here, but DUUUUUUHHHHHHH

Everyone else: Here's a wall of text/Here's a joke/I'm above this and don't care, yet for SOME (obvious) reason I am still talking

@ Marius:

You forgot one:

"Pachter: PS3 Slim Doomed To Failure, Elite Price Drop Could Topple Wii"

kookro5407d ago

damn... you're pretty good. For a second there i thought a bunch of fanboys made posts below yours o.O... please teach me your ways! ;)

gaffyh5407d ago

OMG no more Slim stories please. We all know it's coming, when the rumors get this wild, they kinda confirm the fact that it's coming.

Afreelunch5407d ago

You know, we're not going to see a slim. We're not going to see ANY MORE PS3 incarnations! All that hardware stock draining out, Sony keeping their mouths shut about everything... it's obvious they're getting out of the console business. Wait a sex while I blog about it and submit the "article" to N4G.

Ghoul5406d ago

2 big foots meet in the forest. Says the one to the other "DUDE you wouldnt believe what i just saw" - " huh what is it you saw ?"
"Reinhold messner"

JonnyBigBoss5406d ago

I'd much rather a slim than bigfoot. Bigfoot can't play high-definition formats.

indyman77775406d ago (Edited 5406d ago )

I pitty the fool that buys the current version! You will pay more, AND get less harddrive. And have the largest console in the last 20 or more years, I've seen VCR's smaller than the PS3.

The Great Melon5406d ago

@indyman77

I think the original Xbox still beats the PS3 in terms of size.

about 4 slim stories in one day?

wow

TheHater5407d ago

4 that was approved and stayed approved. There is like 15 that failed.

big shadow5407d ago

I'm not going to trust any story until Sony announces it.

lh_swe5406d ago

But if it turns out to be false all hell will break loose.

The Great Melon5406d ago

At least the current influx of rumors can generally all be in/validated at Gamescon. The slim will either be true or false.

GrandDragon5407d ago

WOW

Yet another Slim Article

I think Micro$LUTS will be peeing their pansies off

saint_john_paul_ii5407d ago

with all these PS3 slim stories appearing on n4g all day, im expecting people to buy it like crazy since it is carrying all the hype in the world.

especially since its $300 and slim now.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy011d 18h ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.
