I hope the new look isn't that different. I like what they did a while back when they made it very controller-friendly (as opposed to when it was new, it seemed like it was made for a mouse, with the cursor jumping around).

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
I've been contacted for a few betas and the whatnot. I'm a member (although not an active member, really) of the Playstation Underground or whatever it's called now. http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/
On that site, I have also listed all the games and hardware I own, so they know the kind of stuff I'm interested in.
I also have my communication settings set so that I can be contacted by Sony for promotional offerings.

New 3.00 firmware:

* "What's New" – The "Information Board" will be replaced with a "What's New" section, which allows you to enjoy interactive PlayStation news every time you start the PS3 system. Located under the PlayStation Network icon, "What's New" displays the latest and greatest game, video, PlayStation Network and PlayStation news and releases, as well as your recently played games, in a sleek, new animated format.
* Status Indicator – In the top right corner we've added an indicator bar, which displays your user icon, friend icon, the number of friends you have online and a small message icon to let you know if you have any new messages. The indicator also includes a scrolling ticker that features the latest news from PlayStation Network. In addition, when you press the PS button, the battery life indicator will no longer cover up the clock.
* Friends List – Now your PlayStation Network friends will appear in a slightly redesigned format on your Friends List. Also, messages will now be viewable from each of your friends' respective profiles.
* PlayStation Store Shortcuts – We've added a handy shortcut icon to the PlayStation Store under both the Game and Video categories so you can access the latest content quickly and easily.
* Personalization – Personalize your PS3 with new dynamic custom themes and avatars. Dynamic themes as well as free and premium avatars will be available through PlayStation Store. A dynamic theme takes your screen to a whole new level as it incorporates animated objects into the background.
* Trophies – Showcasing your hard earned trophies just got better. Update 3.00 gives game developers the ability to modify how they display trophies for add-on content. Base and add-on game trophies will continue to be combined into a single list so you can see where you stand in a game as a whole. Within that list, trophies will be broken out into subcategories-base trophies and add-on trophies-that way, you can easily view the percentage of your base game trophy collection, and separately track your trophy progress in add-on packs. Look for this enhancement to be included in upcoming games.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
And it's now official - The PS3 is getting a new model. First week in September.
Looks like that Best Buy ad mock-up I posted was correct.
Same features and function. 120 gb drive 33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter - price tag 299.99.

Current PS3 to be 299.99 starting tomorrow. Guess there's no PS2 backward compatability to be added. Show is now over. Rather underwhelming after all the leaks the last few weeks.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
I wonder if this will finally spark some decent PS3 sales. DISCLAIMER: I own a PS3 and enjoy it, but if you look at the monthly sales figures, they're not doing so great.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
I think this will give those people a reason to buy a PS3 who have been holding on to there PS2's. I mean there are still a ton of people who only own a PS2, and have not upgraded yet. I'm surprised they didn't mention any bundles with the new Slim and price drop.

PS3 isn't an "upgrade" to the PS2, imo. It's a supplement. Until they put PS2-BC back into the box, it'll never replace the PS2.

Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition
I wonder if I should sell my BC 60GB PS3 and pick up a PS3 slim. I like the form factor. Although, I did upgrade my HDD to a 320GB currently, but I can always swap that out. I wonder if the slim has swappable HDD's.
Anyone interested in a 60GB BC PS3????
