A Chinese blog has caused a stir by posting photographs that apparently prove the existence of a slim PS3. This "evidence" comes a day after Sony emphatically denied any and all rumors that such a PS3 was in the works, proving that nobody ever listens to a thing these game companies say anymore.
There are certainly plenty of photos, but until Sony itself makes the announcement (that will probably come sooner or later), we'll run this with due skepticism. We all know that Sony is about really, really shiny consoles, and this PS3 slim doesn't look shiny at all. Also, that logo doesn't look right either.
Still, who are we to judge? It's not like China has a history of making knock-offs or anything, right?

Actually, it really reminds me of a black plastic clip folder thing that I was given to keep my documents in when I signed up to Lloyds bank about 15 years ago.
If it is so, I want one.
Not only that, it looks very,very cheap and ugly to look at. There wil be a slim PS3, no doubt about that, but I seriously doubt it will be shown this year, this year has been well for sony in terms of hardware sales. With their game division bleeding money until recently, and the fact they have, it seems, a great line up of games this year, the last thing they need is a revision of thier console.
I know most Sony execs are terrible at thier jobs, but a few are great at what they do, or the game division would simply not survive for this long.
Find a single image of that plastic piece of shit that actually looks good. This actually reminds me of those cheap Chinese knock-off systems like the "Vii".
by the way, this is a Japanese Blog that has pictures from a factory(presumably in China) that have Chinese writing on them.
You mean PS1 and PSone? Yeah, that's right. But wouldn't this be called the PSthree then?
At first I thought you were talking about the PSX. The real PSX that is and not the PS1. Confusing shit altogether.
Because, sorry, but that is one butt-ugly piece of kit. The PS3 is ugly enough as it is (except for that one publicity shot side/front angle, where it looks nice), but that is just sick, man.
Here in Brasil we have Playstation's ripoff everywhere.
PS: A little bonus right from Brasil
Silly , I've already saw GTA Goku Supersayajin 3 , GTA Super Sonic and GTA Tropa de Elite (google it , it's a great brazilian movie)
You really enjoyed Tropa de Elite? Great, now i can rub in my friend face, i'm brasilian(i know it's with "z" in english but whatever) and i bet with my friends that americans would like it.
Plus, here in Bras(z)il 94% of the market is pirate, so you often find these mod's for games.
Whee, I finally used that line, notwithstanding coherence.
