T3 Magazine are reporting that they have an ‘insider source’ over at Sony who say they are working on a new design for the PS3. Apparently it features a new coat of paint, a smaller footprint and an overall sexier look. Hmm. While T3 magazine aren’t exactly the most reliable people in the world, I think it would actually make sense for Sony to do this. PlayStation 3 is picking up momentum - a newer, smaller and sleeker console with a lower price tag could definitely lure even more people to the console. T3 say the redesign is slated for a Fall 08 release. We’ll see, we’ll see.

Sony’s game division (ps3, ps2, and software) has finally turned a profit after loosing a substantial amount of money last year due to costs of developing the PlayStation 3. In Q3 of 2007 they sold 4.9m PS3’s, breaking their previous quarter records - this certainly has helped with the profit! Good stuff and good work, Sony. I’m loving my PS3 at the moment.
