It's smaller than what I initially thought. The chips are probably still hotter than the ones in the launch PS2, so PStwo size is not reachable imo, also this still has built in PSU?

PSU built in is confirmed; look at the power cord.

Just noticed this in the neogaf thread on this topic, with a mod saying the source poster is reliable

It seems like 179,229,269 are the magic numbers :P

Yeah so that's the pricing apparently.

Pretty good, better than I had stated.

Really good actually. 16GB of storage and a Blu Ray player for 179?

I dunno, it's not really much thinner at all, and the width is the same, so all you're really saving is some depth in your AV stack.

And for that I lose the much nicer design, and much handier front loader. I think I'll go pick up a 2nd PS3 very soon before these come out...

Don't forget power consumption & noise tho... If Sony did things right, this should be a pretty cool and quiet unit, which for me is all i'm really concerned about at this point.

Yeah, I'm considering buying a PS3 Slim just in case, along with a PS2 Slim, as those have started to increase in price.
