PS3 Slim with retailers next week News

Tempted to pre order one right now

Yay.

They are really serious about this.

@ Nick_581 - Why don't you politely go and fuck off.
And this is good news, got mine pre-ordered.

Chavs play Xbox?

Nick, you work for MS really, don't you?

581 got marked down for being a SPANNER

although lol at that, its like The Day Today

Anyone know if ShopTo sell genuine UK consoles? I've bought electronics from places like play.com before and they turned out to be French versions...

Looks like someone's trying to get banned asd fast as they can. :)

Anyway, £230 sounds very agreeable - although how Sony have achieved that price point has yet to be seen. I suppose Digital Foundry's inevitable hands-on with the revised hardware will make any compromises in its performance evident. That is, if there are any to speak of.

Compromises in performance? The slim has a updated cell chip

Its a slimmer ps3, it wont be any different

Hopefully, it won't heat as much either.

Less power usage may result in less fan noise, which let's face it, can never be a bad thing.

And yeah shopto are reliable on the console front, got my 2 360's from there and my psp from there(albeit region free, but it palyed r2 umd movies so...........)

first time im tempted at getting one, must say if backwards compatibility was in it i'd be much more tempted though, i wonder if that will be in a future slim revision.

shame ShopTo destroyed my faith in online buying after my details were stolen. I'll buy it at FULL PRICE in GAME instead.

@Nick_581

Dude... are you still poluting the website? Last read before I go for a beer or two and now im back and you are still posting bullshit all over the net? you REALLYT have no life? At least since you iobviously have a PS3 you should go use it all those hours you watse risking a stroke online... And funny thing cause those "chavs with 360s" since their console has the highest software attachment rate with "all of them buying 2-3 consoles" means that they have at leasy x5/6 more good games bought on their console, so what are you trying to point out?

People like that make me wanna never post about consoles or games cause i do find this pathetic. I think Eurogamer should make it more serious and allow only to ppl over 21 the possibility to rate on the website and also those with proof of being mentaly stable allowed not only to vote but even post :P lol situations like Nick_581 next thing you know if you tell him his PS3 sucks he might go turn Emo. poor thang. Imagine if there is no PS4 in the future..? he will go jump off a cliff the momment they stop supporting his PS3 or something instead of buying another console.

@chrisjm
It was officially annouced about 3 days ago that backwords compatibility will NOT be coming back on the PS3... You can read alll over the web the pst 2-3 days.

hmm shame, maybe they could bundle an old pstwo into a few :D

@SeesThroughAll
That was single handedly the worst post on this entire site. I hope you're banned.

@WinterSnowblind:

Which one? The one where I say that I think Sony seem to be serious about this? Or the one where I say that I hope it doesn't heat as much as the original model? :D

Blimey, Sony's on the march!

As a none chav 360 owner I can afford a PS3...

I just don't want one...

Cheap... yes, good value... no (in my PERSONAL opinion from the features which would be useful to ME)

Had to put a few bits in capitals before somebody says I am wrong, the reality is its a different opinion. If you don't like it I am sorry.

@ Nick_581.Why don't you crawl back under the rock you came from. You put us ps3 owners to shame.

Anyone have any idea how much money it would cost to upgrade from a 60 gig PS3 to this one?
I have to say, I'm tempted. :D

@ theiceman: I already reported him for offensive behaviour, and recommend as many of us as possible to do the same.

@SeesThroughAll
Sorry about that, I directed that at the wrong person. I think it's obvious who I actually meant. Perhaps I should have my eyes checked.

I blame the lack of a quote system on here :P

Ad for ShopTo masquerading as news story shocker!

@ EarlBassett

Not like I mind. The price they are offering to sell the PS3 Slim at is brilliant!

Wow and why would I buy off a dude that Companies House said wasn't allowed to run a business. And the fact ShopTo sells credit card infomation.

@Linkified I've bought off them without any problem. Can you back up what you're saying at all? It's obviously very concerning if what you're saying is correct.

If you're ordering from shopto you'd best keep an eye on your credit card statements.

I'm serious.

sony upgrade that cheap ps1 controller you get with it and we have a deal

It does look nice I must admit, but if there's no backwards compatibility, then I'm not interested. It looks to me as though Sony really want to BC issue to go away and have no plans to bring it back. Therefore I will never buy a PS3.

@ bulbatron you dont even have a ps2 so what are you waffling on about? that goes for the rest of you too
