The Teej Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Thanks for the thread. It'd be nice if you added a GMT or GMT+1 time though (seen as it actually takes place in GMT+1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlibbyFlobby Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It's probably worth noting for those who don't already know that the second PS3 Slim image is a mockup by cakefoo from NeoGAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewism Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It was not clear in your first post, but the PSN is down right now for maintenance. It will be back online right after the conference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAVA Mk2 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I am glad I am an owner of the MGS4 PS3 bundle which has backwards compatibility (I have an arcade 360 as well with a 120 GB HDD...2 RROD on pros...but still 360 gets more lovin' than PS3)...but anyways my 2 cents are the PS3 slim looks cheaply made and ugly! The matte plastic may not smudge like the shiny current PS3 but wow does it look poorly built and just plain unsophistocated. That does not scream high end Blu Ray player to me although the new console is suppsed to have a more mass market game console image in consumer minds I guess.
