Rumor: No PS3 redesign being announced at Gamescom

4.6
Sony's rumored PS3 redesign will not be revealed at next month's Gamescom event in Germany, according to a VG247 source. The insider also claims the 16GB version is real (and not a typo for 160GB), using flash memory. There is also mention of a potential PS3 price drop following an official announcement.

The Sony press conference at Gamescom had been used several times in the past for big hardware announcements. The PS3 Slim was officially announced there in 2009, as was a console price cut last year.

That leaves Sony with the 2012 Tokyo Game Show press conference if it plans to announce the new model with pomp at an established show this year.

It doesn't look as good. But this is possibly a model that doesnt have a hdd. It would be a whole lot cheaper.


Yeah true! I think it would make a lot of Xbox players buy a cheap PS3 just to play exclusive Sony games!

Yeah but it's only a few small differences...

It looks like the reverted to the fat ps2 design. Then they just decided to take away all of the sharp edges on the console to protect all of the children that play it.
