PS3, Old vs. New

Using mostly SCEA's official PS3 photos, from both 2005 and now 2006, I have compiled a decent collection of images that compare the models side by side.

For the most part, I prefer the 2005 version, I liked the silver, it was, different. Everyone does black these days.

 

They fixed there cooling problems

I like 2005, but 2006 looks pretty good, its got the blackness and silver trim

 

I like blackness too but, it's being overdone, black is becoming the new beige.

 

lol and whats white becoming? the new black?

Man they need to find some new colours , they might run out! :|

 

Actually that's exactly what white is becoming. Look at it like this, as a perspective.

Being - All computers and peripherals were once beige. People got tired of that, it was true of home electronics and the color silver too, people got tired of that too but it wasn't as obvious a switch over as it was with PC's

Enter Black, the new Beige. Now everyone makes a black PC and most consumer electronics are black now too. People are getting tired of black now as it's becoming the new beige so we see PC's of all sorts of colors now but black is still the new beige.

Meanwile, enter White, a la the iPod and the Creature speakers from JBL and the XBox360 among other things. White is becoming the new black, PC and consumer electronics are now showing up in white a lot. It'll soon be the new beige that black became but for now white is the new black and black is the new beige while silver, which used to be the consumer electronics beige is becoming the new white.

Do we understand each other now?

 

Is it just me or do the new '06 PS3's look thicker? as in... bigger... fater... um... wider... look at the side profile pics.

 

wow. those changes are like, so lifechanging. moved the ridge up a centimeter and added some vents. my outlook on life is so totally revolutionized. no, really!

 

i like the first version b/c it can play ps2 games as well.
