Just when you thought things couldn’t get worse for the Xbox 360 and Wii, Sony is set to unveil the killing blow to both systems with the new PS3 Slim. Stay tuned to SDF for truly unbiased E3 updates in the coming weeks.
SDF Exclusive: PS3 Slim to be unveiled at E3
– May 14, 2009Posted in: Industry News, Other Systems, PlayStation 3, The Slim Effect™
Yeah because Suda 51 games sell SO well.
*cough* No more heroes *cough*
GT’s been outclassed by Forza consistently!
Latest GT5 headline.
“GT5 damage shown off; limited to racing cars”, you know as opposed to ALL car models.
That’s sad! It only PARTIALLY implements a feature that has been fully available in a game that was on the Xbox. In that’s not slant eyed incompetence, at it’s finest, I don’t know what is!
GT5 is bringing quantity to the table, not quality.
Since when do sales equal quality?
If you’re using that theory, then Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus are musical geniuses.
Is that really all you can point out? That played out excuse to why Forze is better? Right.
Read up on what REAL racers think about the GT franchise. That says it all. When REAL race car drivers actually play GT to practice their driving skills, you know there is nothing like it out there.
I don’t think you know much about driving sims. If you did, you would realize how on-point the GT franchise is, even without DAMAGE.
PLUS, the damage in Forza and other games like it, is unrealistic, it’s just that people like you, don’t know better.
When you slam into another car or barrier, going 150mph, you’re not just gonna get a cool little dent, you’re gonna thrash your car.
It doesn’t matter what you think is right, there is no denying the greatness of the GT series.
I would prefer close to perfect simulation in a racing SIM, than some damage. Keep your damage, I’ll be enjoying the greatest racing sim on the planet.
He who sells the most wins, that’s who it’s always been, dumbass. Just as the Atari Jaguar.
Jeff Gordon thinks Pepsi is the best Soda every, so that must make it true M I RITE?! You’ve never even played Forza, the damage is plenty realistic, I’ve had times when I couldn’t even finish a race because my car was too fucked up to continue.
GT’s “Greatness” ended with 3. And GT is hardly the greatest sim, if it’s using such an antiquated formula.
Sony lost this generation before it began. The slim is too little too late. Sony is where Microsoft was last gen. Spit on by everyone.
And lets not forget the PS3 fanboy creedo on developers:
If they develop solely for the PS3(Insomniac)they are godly.
If they don’t develop for the PS3 at all(Valve) then they are stupid dumb doo doo heads.
Riiiight. So then why do REAL racers use GT to train??? How do you ever argue that? There is no way, but I guess someone as rabid as you, can always find a way.
YOU do realize that the PS3 is $100 more expensive, launched a year after the 360 launched, and had to compete with the Wii right? And yet it still isn’t far behind. If you actually compare the sales of when it launched to the 360, it’s neck-in-neck.
If the PS3 didn’t keep closing the gap, then you could say that M$ is suceeding, but as the months go by, Sony closes in. This price cut is just gonna make Sony catch up even faster.
He who sells the most wins? You must be like 13 years old or something. As a REAL gamer, I could give a flying f*ck who sells more. I want to play the best games, and the PS3 has the games I want to play.
As a fanboy, I guess that whoever sells more theory fits nice, but not for us real gamers who could give a flying fuck who makes a game, as long as it’s good.
I don’t own a 360 because I will never own more than one console (I cannot make myself dish out that much money for a hobby). I will always buy the console that has the franchises I want to play, and the PS3 happens to have them. And in this generation I have added even more franchises into my favorites list with LBP, Uncharted, Motorstorm and Resistance.
One of the biggest reasons why I own the PS3 is because PS3 exclusive, really means that.
Almost every major 360 exclusive can be played on a PC.
You actually like, let alone can stand playing Resistance? You must have a really high resistance to suck. Of course that would explain your Sony fanboyhood.
Mind you being a Sony Fanboy isn’t a bad thing, as long as we are talking about November 10, 2006 and earlier. Like saying you are an Snes fanboy it is a no brainer.
But the new Sony fanboys? No brains.
But I digress. InFamous was a really great game. And I have hope that if Sony isn’t out of the game business next year they just might put out another game that I will buy.
That is about the best I can hope for with the PS3. A quality title, one year at a time.
And before I get sucked back into this hell hole, I’m out.
$299.99 Oh, so sweet.
@Stick: If the PS3 didn’t keep closing the gap, then you could say that M$ is suceeding, but as the months go by, Sony closes in. This price cut is just gonna make Sony catch up even faster.
I’m sorry but as far as sales go, sony sells less each month for the last 12 months straight. That’s not catching up, that’s loosing ground.
Hmm, let’s see. POS3 at $599 with PS2 back compat and Flu-ray, you will get two jobs to buy one!
Three years later, plan did not work so well, we are last, all of our big exclusives save one (LBP) bomb, POS3 is a turd.
Let’s make a slim version, still with no PS2 back compat, still no mega exclusives, POS3 is a turd.
You can polish a turd, but it’s still a turd.
Who really cares about racing games, they all sell very little and GT has been soundly trounced by Forza (look up the numbers on NPD).
Sorry, Sony should have gone $299 at least a year ago. In this economy, $199 beats $299 any day.
Hey, I have an idea for $ony. Make a version with no bluray …. wait, bad idea, people only own a POS3 to play bluray movies. Darn.
Also using a racing GAME to train drivers, is like saying playing Guitar Hero makes you a Rock Star.
Ps3tard logic is so flawed.
From the Eurogamer article about GT5
“The damage model itself is an obviously welcome addition, but somewhat limited. There is no actual deformation of the cars taking place – body panels remain totally pristine. Instead the Subaru is outfitted with a number of removable parts: front and rear bumpers, doors, the bonnet – these are the elements of the vehicle that work loose then fly away leaving just the barebones of the car. In this sense it is somewhat “last gen”, very similar to Burnout 3 if you’re looking for a direct comparison.”
More advanced indeed!
Here’s my contribution to this and its the truth; PS3 dropped in price and if you got one already, good for you, if you don’t plan on purchasing one, then shut up about it. BTW Shadow Complex is pretty sweet.
Fat penis.
Looks great.
By the way, I like mostly everything Sony has to offer, EXCEPT Uncharted 2. Fuck Uncharted.
The only game I own for the POS3 is LBP. The only other game I am looking forward to is MAG. And that’s if they can really pull of 256 players in the real world! That would be cool. Else, it playes my bluray/dvd movies most of the time. Glad I only paid $150 for my POS3 60 Gig with PS2 compat!
POS3 price cut may be too late. Also, I would bet MS will bring Elite down to $299 and include a free WIFI dongle. That would trully end the “it may have finally begun” rant of the POS3 fanturds!
Yeah, XD.
Sony makes a big to-do about dropping their price, Microsoft is like, “Big deal, we can afford to do that to our TOP OF THE LINE model, without the need to look like jackasses by throwing a big parade about it.”
I love how the PS3tards’ bubbles were collectively burst over that GTA4 DLC “Announcement” last night. A so-called Sony employee claimed that they were playing Lost and the Damned at the Sony kiosk, turns out it was a “Mistranslation”, and the article was pulled. Rockstar commented saying flat out “No, it’s exclusive to Microsoft.”
Oh and the real reason the POS3 slim isn’t PS2 compatible, is that they wouldn’t sell as many PS2s. They NEED to sell PS2s. The PS2 is still their bread and butter. That’s right, an archaic system is Sony’s only hope.

I told you so!
360 Ekite bundle with Halo 3 AND wirelesee network adapter – $349! A much better package than the lowly POS3 slim (as in slim shaddy, $ony needs yo money cause we broke)!
The humpteenth beginning already ended! Muhahahaha
Dumb POS3 fanturds.
How many Skylines does it take to make a Gran Turismo game’s car line up? 300! 1 to represent a unique vehicle, and 299 give the illusion that it has more cars than the competition.
How many competitor’s games does it take to get PD to get their asses in gear and make a game that’s up to today’s standards? Zero, because doing so seem to be beyond their abilities!
How many years does will it take Sony to realize that their “ten year plan” won’t pan out? Trick quesion! They’ve drank so much of their own koolaid that they will never learn.

Sony just can’t win.
@seven2s
It ended before it even began!
POS3 loses again to the 360. Same next year when Natal comes out!
Woot, time to start the rant for the POS4!
2006, erm I mean, 2007, erm I mean 2008, erm I mean 2009, erm I mean 2010! YES! 2010 THAT’s the Year of the PS3!
The 360 is essentially the PS2 of this generation. No matter how great the games get on the PS3 and how cheap it gets, it will most likely never top the 360. Once you get on top of the console wars, you are RARELY dethroned, even when the top dog is an inferior piece of hardware (how many people are on their ORIGINAL PS2? I am on my 2nd and I got my first one 3 years into the PS2′s lifespan)
@tendonut
Still on my launch PS2 (but had to crack it open to fix it), but I did buy a PS2 Slim shortly after it came out for really no reason at all.
But if you wanna chat more about gaming (intelligent conversation and not useless fanboy banter) shoot me a friend request
XBL- InfraredChimera
PSN- InfraredChimera
I would mention my Wii friend code, but I be damned to know what it is.
Also Nirvana09 is you wanna shoot the shit as well send a FR But make sure you send a message with it to let you know who you are!
LOL! Now the GT team is back peddling. Suddenly their damage isn’t is “unfinished”. Much in the way that David Jaffe PSN game that was getting shitty pre-release reviews was an “unfinished” version.
@InfraredChimera
Like you, I’ll be damned if I knew my Wii friend code. I only have a silver XBL membership since I don’t do online gaming on anything but my PC, but
XBL – tendonut1337
PSN – tendonut
Lately, you’ll find me on XBL (been playing Lost Odyssey finally) but if I am on PSN, it will probably be RE5 or Motorstorm 2
My contact information is:
XBL- Yeahrightlike
PSN- Idwantanyofyougooberstocontactme
I think erik wins this round…
Hey, if you guys wanna see the collective Sony fanboy mentality go look at the EA forums. EA did something to piss them off, and now they all tarding out on them. WRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYY!
Why not start out a real war instead of this silly online console bullshit? I still have several departments of imperial marines to my disposal and a propaganda machine ready to be rebooted. Injecting a couple of billion euro’s should be enough to get the war machine running again. It’s some leftovers from my time as emperor of Europe, however the plans for a european empire were scrapped and now this stuff is sitting in my basement.
So I dare any Ps3 fanboy to give me a date and confront me and my army on the Waterloo plains (I love that place). This should not be on the internet anymore.
