Courtesy of our pals at Gizmodo SF, here’s a more intimate look than press shots can afford, showing the console’s rougher texture, slighter dimensions and physical buttons.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:04 AMThe photo with all the rear connectors (5th one down), does anyone have any idea what the connector to the left of the Optical out? It kind of looks like a SATA port but I don’t think it’s that.
Anyone?

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:22 AMoriginal ps3 Av connection is the one next to the optical

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:25 AMThats just sony’s standard multi format AV out… you know, component, S-Video, composite. Just depends what cable you have. Been the same since later versions of the PS1.
Nothing new here… nothing to see… move along…
Elliot Strang
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:26 AMThat is the standard AV connector for a ps3, Youre component, standard rca cables etc all run to that connection. So nothing new with the slim there

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:21 AMIt’s the A/V out.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:23 AMI think that’s for the standard AV cables

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:46 AMAww! No piano-black shiny finish?! That’s it! I’m not buying one!

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 10:02 AMAre you being serious, or I am being dense?

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:50 AMIt looks really good! The only problem is… where is the section where you put in SD cards? The old one had the slots upfront behind the shell with hinges.
Also, is it backwards compatible with PS1/PS2 games? Does it have fan noise like the older PS3′s?
Flame
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 10:46 AMEd, the memory card (SD etc) slots were ditched in later models (I think only original model had them).
Robert Tilt
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:56 AMThis model may be slimmer, but I daresay that the phat model is more attractive…

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 9:59 AM@ed: I could be wrong but I think I can see a card slot just to the left of the 4 front USB jacks.
Flame
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 10:48 AMThose aren’t USB ports – it’s the air vents :P There are only two USB, over on the left side.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 10:06 AMWhat controller will it come with Dualshock 3 or the older one without rumble?
Vapor
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 10:10 AMOne would assume a Dualshock 3 since the old Sixaxis controlers are no longer produced.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 11:31 AMWow so that chinese website thing was right. Well I like the look of my PHAT 60GB original model but I cannot get rid of the appeal of owning a ps3 slim. The only thing is it looks so cheap and nasty. However the new surface is better than the fingerprint magnet phatness.

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 12:26 PMits ugly. current PS3 is heaps nicer. gone is the shiny black and the touch buttons as well
Cal Smith
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 1:35 PMlooks nice besides the shoddy new physical buttons :/
Jay
Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 2:19 PMObviously they’re going the cheaper route. Saving money etc…
No touch buttons represents that.
No Piano-black finish represents that.
No b/c represents that.
But one thing puzzles me and doesn’t represent cheapness.
THE NEW FUGLY FONT! CHANGE IT BACK! AND NO PS3, MAKE IT PLAYSTATION 3!!! ARGH

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 6:08 PMI know! They spiderman font was awesome. lol

Wednesday, August 19, 2009 at 4:21 PMI’m often amused by the physical attributes comments. I guess I’m the only one who doesn’t stare at the unit while I’m playing games. If it doesn’t have the XBox fail rate, you could encase the hardware in a cardboard box with duct tape and I would be more then happy.
Didn’t any of your mothers tell you…”Its whats on the inside that matter!”

Friday, November 20, 2009 at 12:13 PMI quite like the look of the new PS3, and hey Playstation must be happy with it! I came across the Playstation 3 Australia micro site the other day.
Looks like a lot of effort has gone into it really
