No, not the 120 and 160 gig versions but a redesigned and recolored PS3… > **[Sony PS3 Super Slim review](https://www.t3.com/reviews/sony-ps3-super-slim-review)** > > The Sony PS3 Super Slim games console is slimmer and cheaper than its predecessors ![http://www.t3.com/images/variants/t3-ps3-slim-4_w300W.jpg](http://www.t3.com/images/variants/t3-ps3-slim-4_w300W.jpg) ---

What a terrifically snky strategy. “Pre”- release a product, generate tons of sales, do more R&D in the meantime to make it smaller and lighter, and then have a “new” product that will generate even more sales. ---

From what has been speculated too, this new model may contain and be the first 120 and 160 gig PS3’s so we shall see. ---

If the price stays in the same range, I’ll be picking one up solely as a “cheap” BRD player. :meh: ---

> [@article](#): > > The new PS3 is a proper looker: if it’s anything like the illustration our team of designers have come up with, then we’re looking at one hell of a sexy piece of kit. So that is prolly not what it looks like. ---

I had a feeling theyd come out with a ps3 “slim” eventually. The ps2 slim was pretty sweet imo. Too bad I just bought an 80gb a week ago. ---

Hell, I’ve heard some people say that with creative discounting using a sony style card you can get a player for $200 today. ---
