Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
and beautiful. You can definitely tell that Sony has a lot of experience with hardware.
i'd definitely love to see this made into a laptop. I wonder if you'd have to keep that ginormous fan.

Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
To heck with a laptop, a (larger) handheld is quite possible!
But why in the world is this on iFixit?

Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
I just bought one at Best Buy... will try to take it apart and document tonight.
It's definitely thinner, but the X Y is almost the same. More to come!

Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
How are these selling? Isnt the release date in september or something. Are places selling them early?
Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
A lot of places are selling them early. Some Best Buys are selling them early, but some are still holding to the release date. There's something fishy going on because it's not like they're being secretive about it and it's not the case of some teenage manager trying to get away with it. Everyone is being pretty open about it.

Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
I saw an article about a Best Buy memo that said there was no "official" street date, so basically as soon as they got them, they could sell them.
It's a very nice system, the "gutting" story will be on the main site in a few hours. Lots o' pics.

Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
Is it quieter than the original fat PS2?

Re: PS3 Slim taken apart
my original ps2 is so loud now. I think it was so gradual that I don't ever remember it being quiet.bicostp wrote:Is it quieter than the original fat PS2?
