Going farewell are the bulkier PS3s. Which have carried Sony so far only into third place of the three-way console race this generation. Those heftier PS3s aren't being manufactured any more, Koller said. Sony expects the 80GB PS3 to be out of the sales channel in September. The 160GB supply may last a little longer, Koller said.
Koller identified three key tech changes in the new slim: the system's Cell processor has decreased from 65 nanometers to 45. A new cooling system is in place. And there's a new power draw. The result is something that Koller said is more cost-efficient for Sony to produce. He would not say whether Sony is making money or losing money selling the new unit. Often, console manufacturers lose money on gaming hardware, with the intent of recouping revenue through software sales.
The Slim has no on-off switch on the back, using only the standby functionality on the front of the unit.
The launch units will not include Sony's 3.0 firmware, though that will be added to later units.
Koller said that Sony is not considering adding backwards compatibility support to the PS3, a feature stripped from the line a while ago but sometimes requested by some fans. "Backwards compatibility is off the table," he said.

Well shit. Better hope mine doesn't die out on me.
I don't understand why they're giving up on BC when they can't seem to stop people from making PS2 games.

My best guess is that until PS2 stops selling better than PS3, no backwards compatability. Maybe if they put Backwards Compatability in, the PS3 would sell better, Sony just seems rife with bad business strategies.

Plus it was a given since Cell manufacturing has decreased the size of it. I'm not sure on the RSX as I need to tear one apart to figure out what's in there...

I wouldn't be suprised one bit if we got fowk hacking the PS3 Slim model so that they could make it possible to play games BC
.And seeing as I've already gotten a 60GB phat PS3, you can already guess that I've already wasted my £300 by pre-ordering it off from Amazon. While not much of a Sony fan, I haven't really been "into" playing my Wii lately and with the decent games coming out for the PS3, I decided to get the slim (even though I already wasted £464 when I got the phat one in 2007).
