http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/greenberg-e3-lea...

Of course he will deny but here's hoping all the rumours are indeed unfounded. want to be surprised and sony should feel free to call my bluff on the slim PS3 too.

Yea but you said it "it isn't even the same logo as the PS2" which it is
no, it's not.

if it was the same logo it would use the same typeface. which it isnt using.

To be honest I think all of the current consoles look awful, I just want them to be small and easily transportable if I'm heading to a mate's house. The sheer weight of the current PS3 is rediculous.
The weight of the original is why I doubt they will do a slim version, unless the heat output of the chips has significantly decreased then they will still need a similar PS3 size solid heatsink.

I don't worry about shifting the consoles anyway, they are all wired into my entertainment system, its far more beneficial to get the mates round to mine than run the consoles through their hokey tv's and stereos.

I bet they could reduce the weight a crap load if they went with external power supply, just look at the 360 one for reference, sure it doesn't make carrying the console around any less heavy though :P

But you could probably reduce the heat output and size of the console a good bit also.

Let me see the games i'm looking forward to check at E3: Disciples 3, Majesty 2, Tropico 3, Assasins Creed 2, God of war 3, Splinter Cell, Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age, and some more i can't remember :p

Maybe announcment of a new Shin Megami tensei game, and would rock to have Homeworld 3 announced, but i guess no :(

YES, the logo is similar to the PS2 one but I am referring to the PS3s logo. when you're trying to build an image, changing fonts, shapes is marketing suicide. I very much doubt this slim PS3. I still call it total bogus!
Normally I would agree with you on this 100%. However, half of Sony's problems with the PS3 to date, has been in creating a less than flattering image for their brand. Everything from publicly having their ass handed to them by Microsoft execs, following E3 2005 when they tried and failed to create FUD about the 360, to the batarang original controller design, to ripping off Nintendo with motion control (and pretending it was their own idea), to not including feedback in the Sixaxis, to the $600 initial price tag, to the muggings and stabbings and shootings at the PS3 launch, to most launch PS3s being returned when people realized no one on eBay was buying them, the system being too hard to develop for, to almost a full year on the market with no AAA games, to flagship titles like Heavenly Sword and LAIR falling flat on their faces, to next-gen features like in-game dash access and custom soundtracks being absent for the first 19 months, to losing almost all of Sony's 3rd party exclusives, to lower priced versions having important features like backward compatibility stripped from them, to Microsoft scoring exclusive DLC on top franchises, to multiconsole titles selling better on the 360, to falling on their faces with Playstation Home, to PS3 exclusive titles not selling very well, to the system still costing too much with no price drop in sight . . . and on and on and on.

Honestly, for all the moves forward that Sony has made this gen, they have made ten moves backward. And worse still, have done so publicly, and associated much of their bass ackwardness with their Playstation 3 brand.

I think when you look at it from that perspective, and the fact that Sony is committed to the PS3 and cannot back out of it, even if they wanted to, pulling a 'soft reboot' as it were, and starting a new brand (that actually harkens back to an older brand which was wildly successful), may actually be the best idea for them - whether they actually realize it or not. Since E3 2005, they have created so much negative press and negative mindshare surrounding the existing PS3 branding, to continue forward with that branding, may actually the more suicidal path.

Just a thought.

Anyway, I came here to post this link to Spong, which adds more fire to the "proof" column that those photos may be the real deal.

http://news.spong.com/article/17968/PS3_Slim_Confi...
Over the weekend we received a politely threatening email from a firm of Taiwan-based lawyers asking us to remove the story entitled 'New Slim PlayStation 3 Pix Torn Down', which we we ran on May 14th.

Not only were we asked to remove the entire web page in question - which included comment from analysts on the potential for a new, slim, PS3 - we were also asked to keep the request from the lawyers, acting on behalf of an unnamed client, hushed up.

We're comfortable enough removing images from the story as they could have been obtained illegally. We are not, however, going to be gagged in our reporting of threats made against us on behalf of an unnamed company via its lawyers.
You'll have to go to Spong to read the rest. But it is sounding pretty likely that those pics are indeed the real thing. And someone is trying pretty hard to cover them up now they have leaked to the interwebs. I guess we will have a clearer picture come the Sony E3 press briefing on June 2nd.

I thought APB was multiplat?
Hi everyone at APB-Evolved, we just wanted to quickly say thanks for all your patience recently whilst we’ve been quietly pushing forward with the development of APB.
We know this can be frustrating for fans, so to show our appreciation we have decided to inform you guys that yes we WILL be at E3 this year and this will mark the start of lots more news, activities and information coming out about APB: All Points Bulletin.
Here is a brand new screenshot made especially for you guys to give you another look at the awesome character customizations that will make up a large part of APB.
See you all at E3.

As far as three years ago when APB actually surfaced, we had no idea what platform it was on. We just assumed it was 360 exclusive given that Crackdown was exclusive.

No mention of any platforms on the official game website here http://www.apb.com/swf/

Rumor: Devil May Cry 5 announcement at E3!?

http://criousgamer.com/rumor-devil-may-cry-5-to-be...

Fuck it Capcom, DMC4 wasent released not long time ago, give us Onimusha 5!

anyway, if DMC5 rumor is true...please no NERO, only Dante!
I didn't have fun time playing as Nero, he was boring, but with Dante's atleast I can have various weapons!

And I hope they follow the direction of Dante in DMC4, mature looking design...and no backtracking and repetitive bosses and levels!

If they want me to buy the next DMC, they better re-launch the game and put some more effort into it. The gameplay of DMC4 simply wont cut it anymore.

I think Nero was the best thing about Devil May Cry 4. His inclusion seriously changed up the gameplay in a significant way, and it allowed the game to keep the cocky Devil May Cry 3 style attitude and self awareness even post DMC2 Dante who truly introduced boredom to the franchise. If you remove that, you're left with something mind numbingly serious and stupid, and you can't ever get away with the kind of insanity that DMC3 Dante and Nero brought to the cutscene table.

The 360 definitely does not need an aesthetic redesign as far as I'm concerned. I wouldn't want to feel compelled to buy a new one, plus I think the current one looks great and really isn't too cumbersome to lug around.

Honestly, if they could just work some black magic and internalize the power supply in the current form factor, it would be amazing.
