Sony rubbishes PS3 redesign rumour

via Computer and Video Games


E3's just around the corner and, as always, speculation as to what guns the big three platforms holders are going to fire is rife, the latest being of a redesigned PS3 to be revealed at the show next month.

According to reports, Sony is preparing to make TWO hardware redesign-related announcements, one widely believed to be a new PSP, and the other now speculated to be a (possibly slimmer) redesigned PS3.

Sony UK, however, has told us today: "We currently don't have any plans for a redesigned PS3", so you can throw that one out the window.

Could we see a new controller, maybe? Sensor bars seem to be all the rage at the moment (as rumoured for both Sony here, and Microsoft here).

The days of relaxing in your chair while play games are OVER!

PS3-mote! That would be cool!

I seriously doubt there will be a PS3 redisign in the next two years. Yes the console is big and heavy, but the hardware itself requires space. It's not like the first PS2 with empty space inside the case.
