New PS3 Spotted in the wild!

Why are people hung up on dlc?? Arnt base model 360s limeted to 4gb hd space, so wouldn't they have the same issues?

I think its probaly a good idea and would allow them to hace a lower price option. $149.99 ps3 right at wii u launch would probably hurt its launch.

Well the real problem is the mandatory installs + whatever patches there might be. That's a lot of deleting and installing that you'll end up doing going from one game to the next and back. But for the Madden/COD gamer, they can probably get by quite easily.

Pretty ugly. Of course, I thought the same thing about the slim when we first saw the pictures of it here on the forum, but in person, the slims actually look really decent. Agreed with onslaught on the ridges.

A 16GB PS3 at this point would be a fucking nightmare.

Not really. It's a good way for Sony to sell something at a lower price point that can be easily upgraded that many people may not even need. Casual gamers probably wouldn't even fill up the 16gb right away.

Of course, I wonder if the box would say "It Only Does Most Things" now.......

Eh, if they were going to do that they should have started back when they took out PS2 bc... or every time they removed another feature.

Manditory instal are all under 10gigs. So there are 6 gb free. More then what is on the base 360.

It may or may not be good for Sony, but it's a fucking nightmare to use. Having a PS3 that's almost out of disk space, and it would happen QUICKLY, is like having a skin disease.

A whole 6 gigs... that'll last a while, especially as some DLC is up to around 1.5-2 gigs now

More then what is on the base 360.

Which has almost zero games that require an install. That said, it's still a shitty version of the console to own if you're going to play even a decent amount of games, just as a 16 gig PS3 would be.

Yeah but the point is that installs (Halo 4 aside) are not mandatory on 360. So you can go from game to game without much problem, while it'll require you on PS3 to delete installs to make space for others and if you go back, you'll have to reinstall

The system is also rumored to support external drives.

Regardless, a 16GB model sounds good for a casual use. If thats a problem then it should have been a problem with the 4GB 360 sku too

After formatting and reserved system space, the available space is probably closer to 14 GB or less. If you keep 3 or 4 games in your rotation that require installations, deleting and reinstalling could get pretty cumbersome. Forget about PSN+!

Still, as other have pointed out, if it’s priced to reach the very casual buyer, it’s probably a good move by Sony.

Well, let's be honest, if they chose a ps3 over a 360 they weren't very bright to begin with so they probably deserve it.

Not really, or at least not as much, for reasons explicitly explained several times in this thread.
