Smokin Shadowz Posted July 5, 2012 Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 A new PlayStation 3 model appears to be waiting in the wings. According to a Federal Communications Commission filing (spotted by Japanese website Pocket News), Sony is preparing a new 4000-series PS3 model, an update over the current 3000 line. The new PS3 would be even slimmer than this, if rumor proves true. The filing does not mention dimensions, but Eurogamer "has heard" that Sony is preparing to announce a slimmer PS3 model at Gamescom 2012 next month. If Sony does announce a new PS3 model at the German industry event, it will not be the first time the company has done so. At Gamescom 2009, Sony announced the PS3 Slim, a system refresh that is 32 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter, and uses 34 percent less power than the 2006 launch model. A Sony representative told GameSpot, "We do not comment on rumor or speculation." During the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo last month, Eurogamer quizzed Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida about the possibility of an even slimmer PS3 model, to which the executive teased, "We should never say never--hardware guys are always looking at ways to make things cheaper, smaller."

Smokin Shadowz Posted July 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2012 That's one thing hurting the PS3 right now is their game choices, and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Posted July 6, 2012 Report Share Posted July 6, 2012 Those ODSTs over there sure look like they'll take the PS3 into McDonalds till it doesn't fit in even a flippin' carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
