The red one will be bundled with God of War: Ascension in Europe at some point. The blue one is still up in the air, but Sly would go great with that. Sony is slowly bringing new colors overseas, even if it's not in NA yet.

sikbeta4110d ago

And when NA will get some colors!? FFS we don't even get colored editions or bundles, always the same Black Console, SCEA really forgot about the PS2 days!? damn, they suck!

Want a Silver PS3 some day if possible >:(

I wish they had released that controller, even if it was just sold separately.

portal_24110d ago

2 controllers in each, so maybe GoW for the red one and PSASBR for the blue one?

Godchild10204110d ago

Maybe PSASBR and Sly Cooper together at some point for family and younger gamers.

Or maybe for Adults and this one might be exclusive to Europeans, Beyond: Two Souls.

IRetrouk4110d ago

Iv got the red slim so think im gonna go blue for the bedroom, unless they announce the white one for europe

nukeitall4110d ago

To each their own, but those look butt ugly and cheap as hell. The Playstation has progressively gone with cheaper and cheaper look.

Blackdeath_6634110d ago

maybe that's because the price has also gotten cheaper and cheaper? i don't know why you are surprised, did you expect it to be covered in gold and diamonds? ofcourse it looks cheaper that's because it IS cheaper that doesn't mean it looks ugly.

Lvl_up_gamer4110d ago

Nukeital is right.

THey look cheaply made. Simply because they are. Those are the barebone PS3 models. No bells and whistles....well except now. I guess Sony thinks Red and Blue are bells and whistles now.

They are cheap hence why they look cheap. I wouldn't tought that model if they were giving them away for free. Terrible console model but Sony is in a serious financial downpour and they needed to find away to minimize production costs. Considering Sony's current financial position, it only makes sense what they did.

GribbleGrunger4110d ago

@Lvl_up_gamer: It's got nothing to do with financial problems. This is what Sony have done every generation and will always do. I prefer the slim myself but if Sony are going to continue for ten years + then they have to make the PS3 an 'impulse buy' console, just like the PS1 and the PS2.

@ GribbleGrunger

Name me which PS1 or PS2 unit that actually had features removed with each new slim version released?

You can't because Sony never had to remove features before.

It's no secret Sony's current financial issues. Their credit rating has been reduced to "junk" status.

Of course Sony remeoved all the features from the origninal PHAT unit to guve us a barebones model in order to reduce manufacturing coasts. The new ultra slims were even launched at a more expensive price then the slim model and the ultra slim had less features.

Where have you been over the last 6 months?

Godchild10204110d ago (Edited 4110d ago )

@Lvl_up_gamer, "The PS2 Fat has an attachable hard drive, but only a few games require it (FFXI, and maybe one or two others) which means that games that require a hard drive cannot be played on the Slim."

So, they did remove something. Since not many games used it, there wasn't much of a concern or uproar about it.

They also added a feature, "the PS2 Fat needs a special internet adapter purchased separately before you can play games online. The PS2 Slim system has it already integrated."

Then there was this issue with the slims; "when they made the switch (around 2004) the multitaps for the original PS2 did not work for the PS2 SLIM since the parts were shaped a LITTLE differently. I believe the connection was a bit too small or a bit too long. However, they have fixed that problem since then. You have to make sure your multi-tap is PS2 SLIM compatible."

"Name me which PS1 or PS2 unit that actually had features removed with each new slim version released?"

ps1 removed audio and video jacks, and the port for the gameshark and genie

ps2 removed that small usb like port no one ever used, HDD slot, and added a top loader DVD drive instead of the disk tray

that tells me you are either too young or simply just a troll to start an argument that you lost before you completed your first sentence was over what so ever.

Something cheap, doesn't need to "look cheap". Like anything, the look of a console is also an advertisement.

Wile having the original phat Xbox 360, I used to be envious of the PS3 phat, because it was beautiful. Eventually got a Metal Gear Solid Gun Metal Limited Edition PS3 and I love it. Then Xbox 360 slim came out and it is every bit as sexy, especially my Gears of War one.

MS upgraded their console, while Sony and Nintendo downgraded. I hope next generation isn't another downgraded console releases.

ChickenOfTheCaveMan4107d ago

It looks slick too me. I have a fat and a slim one and would trade for a super slim in a heartbeat.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC1h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
