Once they get a slimline drive, we could get a Superslim PS3. A PS3 similar to PSTwo would be extremely cool.
PS3 Slim Hardware Confirmed

They're probably not bothering to shrink the optical drive because they've got to fit in that relatively big heatpipe cooler and PSU as well. If the major ICs dissipated much less power then another shrink of the casing might happen, but the pictures reveal the unit is still rated at 1A @ 240V, which is pretty major...
It probably doesn't actually draw nearly this much, but I assume they're aiming on the side of caution here and want some safety margin, that makes me think they'd want a similar margin for another, smaller-yet product.

It'll be a couple of years yet, but I still hold out for SupermodelSlim PS3.

You mean a PSThree? As far as I'm aware, they haven't yet used that moniker, even for the current slim PS3. Anecdotal evidence for a SupermodelSlim PS3, but still.

Hm that copy and paste didn't work too well. But it's about another 15% off the previous slim model, or 60% lower than the original 60gb PS3.

Yeah. I've got an original 320 (60) gig model, but it's tempting to pick up a 750 gig drive and this new model PS3 and just run cool.
For tables like that I recommend pasting them into Notepad, formatting all those spaces, and then copying over to B3D in

Power Off (Stand-by) 9W 9WWeird it draws 9W in standby, that's amazingly high for doing nothing. Didn't the launch units draw a quite svelte 2W in standby mode?
Makes me think the 9W is with remote play/wake-on-LAN activated or somesuch...
Also, can the PS3 Slim units eat a 12.x mm high 2.5" drive (3 platters), or will they only take the 9.x mm units (2 platters)?

I don't think anything over 500GB works in PS3, as far as I know at least.
Yup, they made an edit: "Power Off (Remote Play Stand-by)"
At ps3 launch some Korean site plugged in 1TB 3.5" drive, and it worked. HDD was of course outside, with cables going into console.

New model: 40-nm RSX and ready to generate profit?

I'm running a 500GB internal and a 500GB external without any hiccups. Though the access times for the external are hideously slow, much slower than whens its connected to a PC.
Yep, PocketNews was contacted by Sony - saying it was 40nm not 45nm. I think they're proud in their new chip =)
That could certainly explain the shortages. It had to be tempting to avoid selling consoles at a loss with the ability to sell them at a profit a few weeks or months later.
