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.

FrogSovietRussiaDe1337d Sweet! Might have to pick this up! Remember Kiddies Xbox had a 4gb Harddrive
I bought a 4gb console and then bought a 320 gb hdd :P. You honestly dont even need that much memory.
Yeah I bought a 160GB HD and I still got 30GB left after about 3 1/2 years!

They only thing it is super useful for is installing games.
True but what's the point in installing games? You can't just play them after installing...
The game loads faster and ends up performing much better.
