We may be getting a new iteration of the PS3 even sooner than we thought - bigger hard drive, thinner build, new PS2 emulator (I would only hope)? In fact, they’re already being worked on at the plant! Sure we hear rumors all the time, but according to Joystiq: The news has a ring of truth to it, given that [Foxconn and Pegatron] have manufactured the original PS3. The timing also makes sense, as Japan actually buys most of its game consoles during the summer vacation period (as opposed to the winter holidays in the west). Looks like your sister isn’t the only person trying to drop the L-beez for bikini season.

Everyone has an origin story, even the greatest of us didn’t come out of the womb fully-formed. There were diapers, history lessons, puberty, and of course, senior yearbook photos. Now, thanks to Pwn or Die! (via Joystiq), we now know what Master Chief was like before he became a Master, and was just Chief, that guy who had a locker down the hall from you. The Pwn guys get the tone of shitty senior pictures spot-on, though I would have loved to see a few more classic tropes, like the baseball bat pose (for baseball players), the pose with the family pet (for pet lovers), or the pose where you’re draped in the American flag (for the one girl I went to high school with that actually used that as her senior yearbook photo).

From an interview with MCV, quoth Andrew House, head of SCEE: When you introduce a new piece of hardware you have the opportunity to say there is a certain premium that is associated with it, and we took that into account. Oh cool. Next up, look for the exclusive velvet rope add-on that Sony will be releasing next year! Expect to find your PSPgo one day being guarded by a large man in a black t-shirt with a headset, asking who you know to be able to play your system. NEXT, be sure to stick around as Sony REALLY thank you for being an early adopter of their revamped system, by punching you straight in your nutsnax. If you’re a female, they’ll get them for you, and then hit you there! Make sure that when you’re done playing, you place your PSPgo back in its velvet tuxedo pouch, inside its gold-flocked safe, in its Sony-exclusive hyperbaric chamber. Seriously, Sony, you can bite my shiny metal ass. SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "PSPgo Is Expensive Because Rich White...
