PS3 Slim Launch

PS3 Slim launched yesterday. So how did it go? Well it didn't seem to be as popular as the launch a few years ago - understandable as its only a different shape with no new cutting edge features.

The main launch event was at Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara.

By 9AM there were so many people lining up that it was difficult to count how many. My ballpark figure is two?

And this was the line by 10AM. Everybody lining up seemed to have blocky-face disease.
Like the PS3 commercial though - directed by the Timothy who also done my Nikon commercial.


And here is the Nikon for folks who have not seen it.

Yodobashi photos by Akiba Map.

The PS3 launch event back in November 2006 - see the photos in the PS3 Tokyo Launch article.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    Already have one (ps2 compatible) and maybe will get another one because my bro is always using it with his friends ^^; . The first guy from the commercial scares me O.O

      I had one at launch as well. I really miss that thing as my PS2 has just crapped out on me. ;_;
      Those PS2 backward compatible ones are selling for more than the Kojima MGS4 gun metal editions! x.x

    I guess the reason why there are so little at the launch were because everyone else probably already owns one.. ^^'
    I'm still deciding whether I should save up for one.. The free online play and built in wifi sounds very tempting.

    I already have a PS3 fatboy, but the lower power consumption of the PS3 Slim intrigues me, it draws less than half the power of the fat PS3. Would be nice to cut down on my electric bill.

    I got my ps3 slim on the September 1st release over here. Its also my first Sony game console.
    I like the photo gallery, and the 3d Earth on the visual player when playing music. The Internet browser is nice for a console;can view youtube vids and browses via google, but I'll stick mainly to my computer. Puchi blurbs don't work on it either.

    My first game playing on it is BlazBlue. Its so much fun!

      Don't think Sony will do that anytime soon. That's the reason why they are still selling the PS2

    lol i wonder if it was even worth the costs to even produce the ps3 slim... doesn't look like it's popular at all... In Australia, there was practically no hype for the release of it.
    Haven't seen any advertisements or CMs for it yet.

    This might actually encourage me to get one, mostly because I still need to make the jump to the next generation of consoles. Of course, the lack of titles is still an issue since I don't play much beyond RPGs and the online play for fighting games is still not as good as the Xbox, but with a lower price point and better hardware, it might very well be worth it.

      Actually online fighting games are better on the PS3 than the X360.
      Example. I had SF4 both on PS3 and X360 for a few months; the competition on PS3 was better, and never had anybody disconnect on me after losing a match, couldn't say the same for the X360 crowd and there were less games too on any given time. Also did a Blazblue comparison ? Same story there.
      Never played Soul Caliber 4 on the X360 but it doesn't have any lag on the PS3.
      PSN can hold it's own to live if your straight up talking about lag, tough you still don't have universal party support which is quite nice on Xbox live.

      Sony's products (PS2/PS3) are still the de-facto systems used at any fighting game tourney taking themselves seriously for a number of reason; this is reflected in it's respective online community concerning fighting game players.

      Most X360 owners are either Madden fans, or play Halo/Gears ...

    It makes sense that a new one would be popular, but not as popular as a brand new console. Sucks for my friend who bought a new PS3 recently.

    I'm still holding on to my PS2 slim... probably for some of you that is "old school" but I still love it coz I still play all those old games including Suikoden 2 from PS One era and of coz few titles of PS2 itself... many PS One games still playable on my PS2 slim... but really, only Suikoden 2 is the one I love the most.

    I'm seriously thinking of getting one because of games like Heavy Rain, FFXIII and Tales of Vesperia remake. Still quite expensive though.

    I heard that the psp is region free? Is the Ps3 region free too, or am I just imagining things?

    PC gaming forever. They seem to have so much more freedom than consoles- I find controllers can be limiting. Consoles are good for certain types of games though, especially if you have friends at your house.

    I've been wanting to buy a PS3 forever but sadly it'll have to wait until later this year. (T_T)

    I want to get a PS3 with PS2 compatibility, since my PS2 died sometime this spring. But i guess i could live without it now since they're remaking most of the good rpgs onto the psp anyways, and thankfully that hasnt broken yet after being dropped like a milliion times lol.

    I'd love to get a PS3, if not only for the BD drive but I'd also need an HD tv to use with it, and that'd be too expensive now alas.

      I'm using my PC's monitor for my PS3 at the moment.
      I'm considering of getting the Dell U2410 monitor. Price seems really tempting for an IPS panel and it has multiple types of input.

    I'm getting one soon, i don't really mind that it isn't ps2 backwards compatible since I think the ps2 games aren't fun anymore for me XD

    Not sure if I want.Since the other ps3 has problems and it's only a new shape I don't think I'll get.

    The new PS3 may be more space-saving, but I still prefer the old PS3's appearance...the black on the new one is rather matt and dull instead of shiny and classy looking...

    I picked up a slim the other day. I'm a bit disappointed about the lack of PS2 backwards compatability, especially as the new PS3 is now sitting directly on top of my top-loading PS2 slim, but for those of us who weren't lucky enough to grab a PS3 earlier on, the slim seems like a pretty good deal. As for appearance, I'm happy with the matte finish. It meant less finger-prints to clean off after I'd set everything up.

    Alos, not exclusive to the slim, but I was pleased to discover that in about four clicks I could set up media-sharing with Windows 7 and send all my desktop wallpapers wirelessly to my PS3. All-in-all, I'm quite happy with the new console.

    Hey Danny,
    Your RSS feed is missing embedded youtube videos, the links to individual image anchors and the cool footer links you used to have.
    I'm sure you're very busy with everything.

    Thanks very much...

    Like the PS3 Slim playface commercial, I wonder what game were they playing.

    Seem like not many people in Japan are interested in getting the new PS3 Slim.

    PS3 Slim isn't glossy and doesn't even have the touch buttons anymore! Fail.

    Wow... has it been 3 years since the PS3 came out?? Time sure flies. I didn't get it on launch, but I did get it for half price from someone who barely played it and sold it to me. Right now it's one of the mostly used console for me XD

    A lot of the people pre-ordered the system from what I hear.

    us queuing outside shops so they are seen only at the very first launch of the iPhone. here in Italy this playstation came with absolutely no fanfare.
    I wonder how will the different apartments, the weight and size. Feltrinelli (a network that sells books and the media) has to be the new the old the same price, 299 €.
    This way people will think that is just what the aesthetic changes.

    Those are some really strange commercials! I personally didn't really like them, the facial expressions were kind of scary!

    I think I'm gonna stick with my Xbox 360.
