Most importantly: no glossy black plastic!

On any piece of electronic equipment in my place that is covered with glossy black plastic, it only takes two days for enough dust to accumulate for me to be able leave myself messages on them. Infuriating, especially when you only clean them ever other year!

It looks pretty much the same.

^ Indeed. I wasn't going to get one anyway (happy with 360, tyvm), but I'm surprised at this pathetic size reduction...
The size reduction between the PS2 and the PS2 Slim was so much more substantial...

At least the price is lower now.

did the original PS3 have the power unit inside the console ?

I always found it amusing that the 360 put the psu in a separate unit that is 1/4 the size of the console.

maby sony should have done the same thing , I don't know if they do ?

I wish sony would change there controller , th 360 controller is one of the most comfortable to use.

yeah, great its cheaper and all.. but am I the only one who thinks these 'unboxing ceremonies' be it for a game console, a new iPhone or whatever the hell are freaking stupid as hell? Why read all the shiznit on the flaps? I got about halfway through and I couldn't take it anymore...

The guy was just acting like the SECOND VERSION of a console that he has had for YEARS is the culmination of a lifetime of toil and regret.

Made my stomach churn, and I play video games all the f'in time.

Interesting video for those who like packages , but could IGN have any worse of a Flash embed? Sheesh.

I'll stick with my 60GB fully backwards compatible PS3 Thank you very much. Big and clunky or not. At least it doesn't RROD on me.

I hope glossy black plastic has met its end!!!

Upvote for the random guy walking into shot at the end and the look on his face when he realised what he'd done.
