Behold: the Playstation 3.5

via ps3fanboy

Seems that two SKU's aren't enough for Sony. We've got our surprisingly acceptable $499 model of PS3 and the super-snazzy Wi-Fi $599 model, but how would you guys like to toss out those bits of trash and obsolete Sony nonsense for the amazingly awesome, beyond your wildest imagination $2500 model? No, we didn't put one too many zeroes on that (the words zeroes and zeros are both acceptable, so no worries). Rub your eyes and continue reading.

This rumored new model of PS3 in the works is a more "media-centric" build. It's going to look more like a video player and have upgraded playback features, including two HDMI connectors to keep your audio and visual separate. It's not the SCEI brand -- it's a Sony. It's not the PS3 -- it's the PS3.5 and it hasn't been verified, but it's slated to set you back $2500. Oh and yeah, it can also play those PS3 games. What do you guys think of this? Bad idea, or the worst idea?

Oh god. Sony has just gone off the deep end. If nobody buys the 600$ one, what makes them think people will pay 2500$ for one? Even if it does play movies better...

dude I would totaly love to buy that I mean that would kick so much ass...................................if it was like 300 dollars lmao thats the dumbest shit I ever heard lmao again.

I would like to see that Sony stops making consoles

PSX-2 perhaps

yeah and we all know how well the psx sold..

PlayStation 3.50? If that's really true with the media centre thing, sounds all good. But the £1,277 price tag is high-time out of order.

a AUD$3,152.59 ps3.5 is to much for any one to pay for a game console even if its media centre edition or whatever the xbox 360 has media centre in it and its alot cheaper than a normal ps3(60GB=AUD$999)

I know a Sony enthusiast who would jump on that.

Then again we must remember, that Sony didn't market the PS3 and isn't marketing "PS3.5" as consoles; they are marketing them as computers, which wholly justifies the price tag of either; try finding even a COMPARABLE computer to that of the PS3 for its price.

omg im buying 4 of these then selling them on ebay for four times the price yey!!!!111
