Cheapest PlayStation 3 slim model has no hard drive?
Images and technical details of a new smaller version of the PlayStation 3 console first emerged a few weeks ago, with Sony thought to be about to officially announce it at the Gamescom event in Germany next month (billed as Europe’s answer to E3).
According to sources speaking to website VG247 though this is no longer the case, the reason being that Sony has too much stock of the current model – which they’re afraid they’ll no longer be able to sell as easily if they announce a new model.
The super slim isn’t expected to have any new functionality over the existing model, but the current rumour is that there will in fact be three separate models: one with a 250GB hard drive and one with a 500GB hard drive.
The cheapest model though apparently has just 16GB of internal flash memory instead of a hard drive, which would be a first for any PlayStation 3 console. Some sources suggest that this model could be priced as low as £99, while others dispute that it would be quite that cheap.
The only way to know for sure is for Sony to make an official announcement, but if that doesn’t take place at Gamescom it’s not clear when they might say something.

SmurfsNuclearNinja I would rather pay $249 for the 250GB, I would use that 16GB real fast.
Yeah same here. I'm not the best at conserving space =)
I would play nothing but multiplayer on it so, This is quite the option for people like me.

Lwhshurricanes15 If this is 99 dollars I WILL buy it, because I'm not a **** who **** about no harddrive when I can just use a usb flash drive.
Wow! Calm down... No need to get angry. Nobody even said that... I think it's a good idea tbh! Hopefully it will be less than 100 pounds! I doubt it'd be 99 dollars though.

SovietRussiaSandbox Thats stupid, but xbox is better anyway >:)
FrogSovietRussiaFrogKexCartmanisPhatSovietRussiaPhracture What is that thing?
It's a cheaper version of the ps3 that has no HDD.
Why would you buy a PS3 with no hard drive?
No idea, I know i wouldn't >.>
Just buy an external small memory card and you have a cheap PS3 just for games exclusive to PS3 :)
Also you don't have to worry about paying for gold. :)
I don't think PS3 have a gold membership...? I'm confused [=
I said that if you bought a ps3 you wouldn't have to worry about buying gold. Because its free on the ps3
the only bad part about the ps3 is the security. It has been hacked into on several ocasions. ps3 is free but xbox has some pretty nice social feayures including party chat.
