Rumor: No PS3 redesign being announced at Gamescom

4.6
Sony's rumored PS3 redesign will not be revealed at next month's Gamescom event in Germany, according to a VG247 source. The insider also claims the 16GB version is real (and not a typo for 160GB), using flash memory. There is also mention of a potential PS3 price drop following an official announcement.

The Sony press conference at Gamescom had been used several times in the past for big hardware announcements. The PS3 Slim was officially announced there in 2009, as was a console price cut last year.

That leaves Sony with the 2012 Tokyo Game Show press conference if it plans to announce the new model with pomp at an established show this year.

Cruise This will just be a waste of money anyway....


Unless you are just going to use it for MP use. The size isn't pratical for downloading games or playing single player games :)

It is pretty huge, that they are not giving us a HDD and knocking down the price :). I might be able to have both consoles now.

AR15 The "new" console doesn't look any different to me
