The real buttons seem odd for some reason on the PS3 after having gotten used to the heat-sensitive ones on the current PS3.

raztad5380d ago

I know what you mean phat's bottons are really slick, but I'm sure the new one will feel very nice as well. Sony is awesome delivering hq hardware.

Trollimite5380d ago

every type of stereotypical nerd is present in this video!

lmao

AAACE55380d ago (Edited 5380d ago )

Now I gotta get $300 to get one of these!

This seems like a great deal. $299 with a 120 Gb HDD... gotta get it!

Sales for the Ps3 should increase dramatically when this hits!

Also, this price shows that Sony is aggressively trying to take marketshare away from MS and Nintendo! With this new model costing $50 more than the Wii and offering more tech that the Wii has, and being at about the same price as the 360... it's clear that Sony are planning to battle this holiday season!

This should be good for all gamers!

jmare5380d ago

They (the heat sensitive ones) cost more so, poof! Regular buttons.

darthv725380d ago

The one in the donkey kong shirt reminds me of a buddy of mine. Serious wearer of gaming shirts.

On topic, I want to see this thing ripped open to show the insides. Maybe ben heck will now make a portable version like he has done with several 360's.

It should have fw 3.0 on it right?

Strange that so many outlets are getting theirs and making posts about opening the boxes. Did they hand one out to every attendee at the show or something?

cRaZyLeGs 935380d ago (Edited 5380d ago )

I'm not as impressed as I was with the ps2 slim, probably because we saw it such a long time ago. I wonder will it have heat problems like the ps2 slim?
Guess I'm wrong. *disagrees

PdubthePatriot5380d ago

@darthv72
I'm not sure, but I dont think it will ship with 3.0. I'd have to look though....

The reason I'm not sure is cuz I saw it on wikipedia, so I took it with a couple pinches of salt lol

That was sexual

And no power brick

6wl5380d ago

If thats the case I'm defo sold - that was the only sticking point for me about the slim.

Disappointed about the lack of otheros, but to be honest, the linux scene really hasn't taken to the ps3 as much as I expected.

PotNoodle5380d ago

The PS3 linux scene would of picked up more if they were given access to the GPU too. It seems they were going the right way by giving YDL access to the GPU memory too, just need the actual processer now.

cl63AMG5380d ago

I had forgotten about it but yeah it looks like they shrunk the power supply.

rickyjb235380d ago

ist because there not het sensetive its a electrical switch between the on sign and the / reset and yout finger completes the circuit , test it ese a piece of metal to conect them and it starts

GrandDragon5380d ago (Edited 5380d ago )

umm BUTTONS????

OH come on!! WHY?? WHY SONY??!!

The touch sensitive gloss over was MUCH more better

I was under the impression that those round things over the power and eject signs were just stickers...Bu BUT NOOOOOOO

gambare5380d ago

they are cheaper, besides the 360 has buttons too and no one is complaining.

Nitrowolf25380d ago (Edited 5380d ago )

the reason i could actualy see why buttons is because some people have had issues with the touch buttons where it would stop working.

lol at the disagree

Panthers5380d ago

The heat sensitive ones were so coooool though. Very futuristic.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 15h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18219h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie10h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno21h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno19h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii6h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
