PS3 Slim Hardware Confirmed

Found out that the Bravla Sync/Link feature is really HDMI-CEC. So you can use more than the Bravia remote to control your PS3 Slim.

According to the wikipedia article, the full list includes:
Anynet (Samsung)
Aquos Link (Sharp)
BRAVIA Theatre Sync (Sony)
Kuro Link (Pioneer)
CE-Link and Regza Link (Toshiba)
RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) (Onkyo)
Simplink (LG)
HDAVI Control
EZ-Sync
VIERA Link (Panasonic)
EasyLink (Philips)
NetCommand for HDMI (Mitsubishi)


... and of course the Harmony remote. PS3 Slim owners please confirm :)
 
The list the PS3 Slim dimensions at...

13.385"(w) x 13.385"(h) x 6.299"(d)

Not sure if any of those are for the system or the box.

With that depth I'm thinking the box.

*measures*

432x344x177mm

Thanks Rolf... and so with those measurements it seems that the Slim box vs the original loses 4" on the length, and nominal amounts on depth and width. Overall it leads to over a 25% reduction in volume though, so... don't know what Sony's shipping costs were before, but the redesign should spill over to material savings in that area I would imagine, considering the weight reduction of the final package as well.
 
Edit: Carl, yes. Plenty of rumors. The latest I think is the rumor of a 'God of War Trilogy' on BRD with the first 2 games (yes, I know). Whether this means a port to PS3 or achieving emulation for a few popular titles, no one knows. I don't even remember if the poll reported a while back asking whether people'd like GoW1&2 on BRD was legit or not.

God of War Collection – Blu-ray Disc Compilation Available This Holiday Season!

Probably not BC, as it seems to have Trophies and is allegedly native 720p.

In Japan...

Amazon.com, E-digi, and the online shops for such major retailers as Yamada Denki and Sofmap are sold out of stock ahead of the system's 9/3 launch.

While the online versions of Bic Camera, Yodobashi Camera, Geo, and Joshin still have stock of the base system, everyone appears to be sold out of the Gundam Senki bundle version. Would you believe it? A limited edition PS3 bundle is actually going to sell out!

Nothing unexpected. Anyone know where I can get a white PS3 Fat in US ? I went to the Japanese store 2 weeks ago, and it's gone already. :mad:
 
Went to a local store on my way home today, they had the slim in stock, but it was locked in the sales system and not available for sale until tomorrow.

Just checked the internet sites like Play-asia , Yes-asia and NCSX all out of stock. I don't think you can find a brand new one in a local store if you're not super-lucky :D.
 
Decision. Decision. I was hoping for a brand new one. Friends got cheated on eBay before. Had to involve police :)
 
My slim is on the way. Amazon confirmed shipping today! Now I just have to get rid of my old 60Gb model, but first I must remember to take out the 500Gb HD its got in it!
 
My roommate picked up a slim on Saturday. Got it at a Best Buy in the Twin Cities area. The salesman said they'd already been selling for a couple days even. Looks great, even smaller than the PS2 sitting next to it. Can't wait to start watching Blu-rays again and pick up some new games.
