I noticed that too, this gen in my opinion was ill designed. We may never see proper "slim" models...Thing still must be using a lot power for a 190 PSU.
Toploading is crap. Never that a hideous turd like that will come over my doorstep... Not if it was the only console left on earth.
Toploading belongs in cheap portable music systems. Not in livingroom audio/video gear.
... guessing 199 for 16gb if you're lucky. then 249/299.
the gen is winding down, hardware sales are extremely slow, i dont see a point in pursuing aggressive hardware price points for sony right now.
good on them for being aggressive though. i imagine microsofts refresh will follow maybe in 2013.
16GB should be sufficient to install at least a couple of games. Installs are often around 2-3GB, but there are many games which don't have an install at all, or just a very small one (less than 1GB). Bigger installs are usually around 6GB.I wonder how the 16 GB of flash is going to handle games with a required HDD partial install? How large are partial installs usually? Smallest? Largest? Going to guess Sony will sell an official HDD addon?
I do not see any USB slots on the back....

How can you say that?
Don't forget the Playstation and Playstation 2 slim, are top loading as well.
Its ugly... and top loading disc tray? wow how sad, Sony's rushed launch PS3 (imho in terms of having to make it to market to the rival console) was and still is a technological marvel jam packed with so many features and quality, extremely high quality components (5 real copper heat pipes and multi RPM fan system that revs up and down depending on temps), not to mention how it was shipped as a swiss army knife type tech in terms of PS1/PS2/PS3/DVD/BR/CD/SD etc.
It really is sad that consumers did not respond back then even though its ancient history... it seems to me that really is the reason why next gen consoles will not be so great with manufacturers having fear and uncertainty in console and software sales...
I don't care the excuses its a games consoles and plays movies... somehow I don't think this is the last revision but how sad it is that due to lack of initial consumer demand (not to mention economic issues) we are going downhill here.
The new model you would have no trouble letting it go into a kids hand.
