Just wondering, if the rumours turn out to be true, and there is a new PS3 on the way, how many of you would actually buy one?

Also with the expected price drop, would this also entice any non PS3 owners out there?

I would not see any reason to buy either the PS3 or 360, even if both cost only $1. All the games I want I have on my PC.

i dont know really lets put it this way i would want a wii if only for brawl parties. but i would never pay 200 dollars just for that thing because i wouldnt ever get anything else on it. and i would want a ps3 simply because i used to love my ps2 so much and then got swept off my feet by the 360 is anything you could say im curious? not enough to buy but if i had any friends with one i would like to try it and see how it is(i currently own a 360 but do almost all of my gameing on the computer) the main thing that concerns me is that ill just do the same thing with it that i do with my 360 and thats let it rot and wait for a new fighting game to come out.

Heck no. I have to buy a new CPU and RAM. Then all the games will look prettier and run as good as on a PS3.

It is not going to be a new console. It just going to be the PS3 Slim. What is wrong with that? It is the same hardware in a smaller case. This is really directed at people who don't have a PS3 to get them to want one. I am not re-buying a PS3 personally as my PS3 works just fine. Is this all getting through or am I making too much sense?

I would not, regardless of price - there's not much there that I'd want to play.
What about me? I'm on PSN don't you want to spend more time around ME?

A new console this soon? Wow I would instantly lose all respect for Sony.
I think the OP means the rumors about a PS3 Slim not a PS4 ... Well not yet I suppose since Sony has at least redesigned each of it's gaming systems at least once.
Examples PS/PSx; PS2/PS2 Slim;PSP/... well it got remodeled before the PSPgo.

OT: My PS3 is working fine so I wouldn't seem a reason to get a new verison of it.

There's no new PS3 coming out. There has been talk about a slim PS3 though.
In essence then the PS3 SLIM, being a new SKU, would be a new PS3, it certainly isn't an old PS3 is it.

Why would you re-buy a PS3? Like you said it its a smaller version of the PS3, my question was would it entice any NON PS3 owners to get one.

Hell, I have my launch PSP that is still running strong. I don't need to get the PSPGo!. Buying new versions of a console or handheld seems redundant to me. If my PS3 breaks somehow(knock on wood) I guess I will buy one. But I really doubt it will.

Well, it is smaller which people always like, especially in Japan. That will make a difference for a lot of people I bet. It is supposed to have a 120 GB HD which is pretty awesome. Couple that with dropping the price and it is a good way to boost sales for Sony.

I would not buy another PS3. I love the one I have right now (BC, yay!). The only thing I would change about it would probably be get a bigger harddrive for it (or a 32gb SD card to put all my damn videos on).

I've been really tempted to get one for MAG but I recently tried Call of Duty 4 on my friends PS3 and I thought the online was pretty shitty(connection wise) so I'm rethinking my purchase. But then again that could be my friends internet, but I doubt it.

What? That was a problem with your friends internet or something because COD4 on-line over the PSN is buttery smooth.

No, I will not buy a new PS3, I'm happy with my 60GB PS3.

Confirmed, it's indeed buttery smooth.

Damn, I want backwards compatibility, hopefully we will get it soon!
There are still persistent rumors that BC is coming via a firmware update. Ars Technica had an article on it not too long ago. Couple that with the rumors that PS2 games might be sold via the PSN and it gets pretty juicy. I say it happens in 2010.

I really hope so, I missed out on loads of good PS2 games because I had an xbox, always wanted to play shadow of the collosus and ICO
