With all the happenings re consoles I thought it relevant to post all "rumours" (with links to evidence) to enable discussion and thoughts.

(See next post)
 
It’s not all good news though: the PS3 Slim doesn’t support Linix? So you can’t install Linux on it as you’ve been able to previous models.

Ah well?
 
Rumor: PS3 Slim Getting Backwards Compatible through Download? (Emulator)

Gamestop employees have been hinting to us that according to a sales sheet, Gamestop will have the PS3 Slim and that backwards compatibility will indeed be coming through a download. This is of course not an official confirmation as to whether this will be through the firmware or through an application or emulator that can be bought Playstation Store.

For now, we can only speculate on this for now as we only have the word of a few anonymous tipsters only we received emails from tipsters. We will of course bring you the word as soon as we get some official news, but for now you can file this one in the hopeful rumor category.

Welll lets hope!
 
"If" the translation is correct, there's a very special package heading our way in December: this package will consist of both God of War and God of War II, plus a playable demo of God of War III.

Well if you read some of the replies about the GOW I and II release it seems like backwards compatibility would be the most sensible way to go if porting to ps3 isnt really that easy. Also I wonder what came of that poll about what you would like to see in the GOW III special edition pack - One of the options was to have both GOWI and II bundled with it.
 
Sony to Own the Holidays With Rumored PS3 Slim Bundle

While speaking with a source close to Sony, we have received word that Sony is not only prepping Gran Turismo 5 for the holiday season, but it will be bundled with a 250GB PS3 slim for the price of $399. Along with Gran Turismo 5 and the 250GB PS3, we’ve been told to expect a voucher to some type of downloadable game, to help introduce new PS3 owners to the PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Network. Though as to which downloadable game is to be included is still up in the air.

WoW, Wont that be something. Wont be confirmed if true as then many will hold back purchasing now1
 
Top Secret: Massive PS3 Exclusive Now On The Horizon

You may have heard it here before: we are aware of a truly huge PS3 exclusive title that hasn't been announced or confirmed as of yet. Now, as we have promised to keep the game under wraps, we still can't tell you what it is... But with the recent price drop, the introduction of the PS3 Slim, and more reasons than ever to have a PS3 in your entertainment center, we wanted to give you one more.

First of all, don't bother e-mailing us with desperate pleas; those e-mails will go unanswered. Secondly, you can theorize and speculate all you wish but you must always bear in mind that we did not confirm a damn thing. Thirdly, and this much we can almost promise: the game in question is something the vast majority of gamers will likely enjoy, and the only hint we can give you is that it is familiar. Well, we're talking about a massive upgrade over the last installment, but nevertheless...familiar. The good news is that we might be able to spill the beans on this as early as January or February, but we're at the mercy of Sony right now. Our source - who is no rumor-starter but the game designer currently working on the project - says his hands are tied on the issue, and we'll continue to respect that. But if everything goes well, we'd like to think this game will be ready to go by the end of 2010; that may seem like a ways off, but we consider it a damn good reason to own a PS3.

You know about Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, God of War III, MAG, Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, and The Last Guardian. This title will have a place in that elite group as soon as it's announced; you can be guaranteed of that. Oh, and if any of you are wondering if there's a chance the game will go multiplatform: no. That's all for now, peeps. ;)
