sono solo dei rumors

ho scritto commento alla notizia per specificarlo ma effettivamente non è molto chiaro. In rete se ne trovano altre e queste mi sembrano più veritiere cmq non manca molto.
- It is a PS3 that's been cut down as much as physically possible without preventing the loss of playback of any existing PS3 title out there. It still has blu-ray, it still has wireless, it still has bluetooth and it still has gigabit ethernet.
- "OtherOS" support has been removed.
- Hard drive sizes will be bigger, it will come in 120Gb and 250Gb flavours. It's still replaceable and will actually be slightly easier as it has been relocated to the front of the console.
- It will NOT have any "new" features, such as backwards compatibility or enhanced peripheral support. It's just a PS3, but slightly smaller and cheaper.
- The power supply is still internal, but a different power cable will be used.
- Rear ports are still the same: 1x HDMI, 1x Sony AV port, 1x Optical, 1x Ethernet. And of course a power port.
- Release date and official announcement are not final.
- Price is undetermined, but make no mistake, this is a "slimmed" PS3 in ever sense of the word.
- It's as cheap as can possibly be, so expect it to launch with a smaller price tag than what you're paying now in your respective territories.
- Internally, several daughter boards have been removed, but all functionality is still there. This is due to a more advanced manufacturing process. It still uses a few extra boards, though, we're not quite at PSTwo levels yet.
- A Cheaper Blu-ray drive is being used. It wont be any slower, but expect to see similar issues that another competitor had a while ago.
- Touch-sensitive buttons on the front for power/eject are gone in favour of cheaper push buttons.
- It has a slightly different startup screen. Only slightly.
- It's about 50% smaller than current PS3s.
- It wont be called the "PS3 Slim". The PS1 "slim" and the PS2 "slim" were never officially called the "slim", either.
In short: It's a smaller PS3, but that's it. No new features, no special hardware, just smaller and cheaper.
