Sony Brazil filed a registration for the new PS3 Slim on the site of Anatel (the Brazilian Agency of Telecommunications). The new model looks very cheap (and people complained about the current PS3 Slim) with rigded texture details. Also, it seems to have a toploading drive.
Just look at the pictures (got from Tecnoblog website). CECH-4011A (16GB ?!), CECH-4011B (250GB), CECH-4011C (500GB) - All with a 190W PSU. The 16GB model might be a typo.

I prefer the old ones.
The face looks like a grill. If the 16GB PS3 turns out to be true, I can imagine it selling like hotcakes. I can imagine people putting actual hotcakes on them and it becomes a photo meme.
So, this time, they don't hold onto their "one fat and one slim edition for each console" motto?
But seriously, I guess I will never get the point of having several models which do all the same.
If you are having temp problems (-->Xbox 360) I can see that point, but just for cosmetical reasons?
Useless....
It's cheaper to manufacture and you can provide consoles for new (or existing) customers to keep your foot in the market.Originally Posted by jaunelapin

There are so many different variations of PS1 & PS2, the PS3 probably has had less changes so far.
The only difference is that the PS1 & PS2 cases only changed slightly between different models, so it makes it look like their were just 2 of each.
If you got the first slim PS2 off the production line and compared it to the last slim PS2 off the production line, there are alot of differences. Especially on the inside, they went back to having an internal power supply.
Top loading too like the psone and pstwo
This was a good idea 2 years ago
What matters now is PS4, specially with Xbox8 already on its way
While everyone seems to be focussing on the outside, I'm more intrigued by what the've done to the inside. I really hope they've included some modifications to the RSX and CELL to tone down the power/ tone down the heat. If they integrated them... Oh that would be awesome.
I'd be interested in one solely for the purpose of modding it into a laptop. I'm doing that with a Slim (45nm CELL, 65nm RSX) but even that is a little tricky- the heatsink needs to be pretty hard core to cool it. If they've taken the same path as the Xbox 360 slim, that would mean the CELL and RSX are now one chip- lower heat, smaller heatsink, lower power, cheaper parts, etc. Basically Sony gets to sell them for the same but have a larger profit margin.
Either that, or they're pulling a PS2 on it- slim it down and reduce costs just as the next gen comes out so they can maintain both- PS3 slim for the average user wanting a cheap blu-ray player, and the Orbis for hardcore gamers.
And just when we thought the PS3 couldn't get any uglier...
Terrible console to begin with.
It is so cosmetically unappealing, that it is ridiculous.

Yikes. So cheap looking... There's chinese knockoffs that look nicer than that.
It's like a BBQ grill of legend
Just hang it up sony
Lets just start raising money to get sega back in the game.
how much you reckon Sega needs? Kickstarter?
Those pictures sure look ugly. But they do ofcourse want to cut costs and make the system as cheap as they can.
Ive never cared much for playstation. Sure there are good games, but none that made me feel like i absolutely had to save up $300 for the console.
Yeah its ugly... but it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for that top loading disc drive... too unprofessional, makes it seem so inferior.
