Over the weekend a set of images leaked of the rumoured new PS3 (codenamed ‘Super Slim’) that we reported on last week. What makes this leak more substantial is that Technoblog, a Portugese web site, posted a document from Sony Brasil that is used for certifications for three new PS3 models:
- CECH-4011A – 16GB hard drive
- CECH-4011B – 250GB, and
- CECH-4011C – 500GB
The new hardware has a new, though cheaper, look with what looks like a ridged sliding top panel.
G3AR picked up on a small change after the recent PS3 firmware update. Instead of ‘Eject Disc’ when pressing Triangle when on a disc icon it has now been replaced with ‘Remove Disc’. This small bit information leads us to believe that a mechanical part has been removed from the disc mechanism – making this leak all the more realistic.
Sony is yet to comment on anything but we expect them to announce more on this at Gamescom in the next few weeks.

No Ways.
Wow,if realy a “super-slim” ps3 will grace the current gen consoles the PS4 will release waaaay waaaaay later then.
One can only hope that with the release of the “super slim”…that there’s hopefully a super price drop as well.
Wow. I dont love consoles but a 16gb ps3? <3 _ <3! That 1 i would buy!
)
But why? Almost every game has a mandatory installation of so many gigs. How many games can you play before needing to delete data maybe 3-4? Rage and Heavy rain alone fills up this thing lol
I just hope my current PS3 slim lasts me for a long time cause the only time i buy a new console will be when next gen comes out.
My phat 80GB(upgraded to 320GB) PS3 is still going strong after more then 2 years. But if it does happen to die(:() then I will definitely get a super slim!
I don’t like the look, but if this comes in at the right prices it might just be what Sony want, a significant boost in sales.
The most confusing thing about this is what do we call the current slim? The phat slim? or do we call that one the slimmy slim?
Agree with rogue_riezo, not crazy about the look, but if it releases at a good price, I might just be tempted to get my Xbox a new sibling.
Not a good sign for those waiting or for the next gen PS
@ Meatbag, But A Good Sign For New PS3 Fanboys To Join The Existing Established Current Gen Market.
Not a fan of the ridged cover…
Geez, when will they take some cues from other stylishly designed electronic equipment. That thing is as ugly as sin…
Nice Extentions Of The Hard Drive Though,
That 16GB console will be perfect for events. Cheaper option
After an update on Saturday, I also noticed the change from “Eject Disc” to “Remove Disc”. It all makes complete sense now. Thanks G3AR.
So slim slim PS3 is gonna happen? I hope that its atleast cheaper
If the PS3 slimline does happen, I’m definitely not going to buy it. Every time a slimline comes out it either overheats or some thing breaks on the inside, personal experience with PS2 and PS1 slimlines. My PS3 already gets quite hot when I play BF3 so how is more compact going to help the heat problem
