“Slim PS3″ Video Emerges

Rumours and even photographs of dubious provenance of a new PS3 model with a slimmed down case have persisted for some, despite denials by Sony, but now even a video of the supposed new console emerges.
The video purportedly shows a “leaked” system on sale in some unspecified dubious shop in the Philippines. No proof of it working, or of what is actually inside it, is offered.
Whilst a new model from Sony would hardly be surprising, for a complete system to emerge even while Sony denies the existence of such a product, let alone furnishes a release date, is certainly suspect.
Perhaps the real mystery is why anyone who saw such a (genuine) device would not immediately buy it and auction it online to frenzied PS3 fans or sell it to the gaming press as a huge exclusive, instead settling for a grainy 30 second video of a shiny black box…

Totally bullshit.. Not that you guys don't already know that =\.
Just look at the store background in the video.. That's the kind of place which sells $1 toys.
Besides, Sony hasn't acknowledged any slim PS3 yet, and they will definitely try to keep the announcement as late as possible, because they still want people to buy current PS3s instead of waiting for the new slim
Its a trap.
That is a fucking lie.The person who sell it must be a swindler ! if that is true SONY would have announced it at e3 2009 or already.That 1 is a freaking fake.Not even the official ps3/sony website show it.So how the fuck could they get their hands on it.So its a freaking fake simple as that.
Bet it's just a slim ps2 in a new case ;p
Even if it's real, lower the price you...
As a Filipino am ashamed this even reached here. I apologize in behalf of my country. Please disregard this article if possible.
Also I wish Freddie Aguilar would just die. PLEASE! SOMEBODY KILL HIM ALREADY!!!
who has a death note?
Hope its real planing on getting a ps3 for the new FF14 online can't wait for that game! >.<
when you want a bull,you should consider the shit too...
If the owner shows that it is working, then i'll trust this shit. And I still think think phat ps3s are cooler.
This is real.
It's the exact machine as the one shown two months ago.

Let's not also forget the new PSP Go packaging, which looks strikingly similar to the PS3 Slim package.

Don't call bullshit without the research.
I didn't even bother reporting those pictures, so tenuous are they.
Two sets of unsubstantiated pictures of a plastic case - surely proof positive!
The PS III.
btw it's true that sony is gonna release a PS3 slim. but i don't know if this one is real.
wow its the new Fakestation 3?
If I Put it... somehow like a Case of another Chinese hacked system
probably inside there's SNES engine with buncha of pirated game lol
even in My country there's mini PS2 and inside only listed all the shitty game on SNES
hehehehe. ayos! totoo nga yan! japeks! XD
I remember a PlayStation 1 clone before, what was its name... ahh! Somy PolyStation. Looks exactly like the PSOne but will play Super Nintendo games. :D
If Sony releases a slim ps3 ever then they have no brains, all they're going to do is increase their production costs. I doubt a slim version is going to sell any better or worse than the current model.
well at least when sony does make a new slim ps3, it wont look like that POS
Shit..
Don't believe on anything that's sold on a corner shop near Divisoria or Recto..
I smell bullshit >....<
mga tangang KANO!!!! totoo yan mga ungas me PS3 slim n kaya... magbebenta ba ng peke mga SM branches? edi hinuli sila.. mga UNGAS!!
syet. totoo yan mga ungas! nakita niyo na ba yung balita, me slim na talaga! greenhills ba yan? magkano kea? galing ah...
this one is true. XD
Fake for sure, why the hell do they are the 1st one to get it? Make no sense.
they made the ps3 internal components more compact... with a hammer = ps3 slim
And a new cover to boot.
It'as fake, it like the Vii lol!!!^_^
This is just full of bullshit
and this China's fault
Blaming a country can't solve anything...
Possibly a PS2 is inside, fake ps3 housing outside.
TOT,how long will I wait for psp2
psp3 slim seems better than the picture which 2 month ago
Again, the Filipinos showcase their talents to the whole world.
More facts about the Philippines can be found at uncyclopedia. For a summary, http://n3grp.multiply.com/journal/item/12/REPOST_50_Facts_About_Phillipines
"where women strip"
Too bad it doesn't happen to HOT girls.... So i call bullshit.
Why does it have to tag "Made in China" even there's no prove of it really did?
Just like you cannot let a born-to-be-racist white person to love black people, you cannot let a born-to-hate-communism western person to not illogically insult China.
They are built to do nonsense, and sure they enjoy this.
Lol Canadian.
GSP !!! GSP !!! GSP !!
Human is probably the only being on earth can hate their own kind so...oh well.
if this is true, then lol @ anyone who bought a PS3 before this
why?? I bet you have never encountered PS2 slim ver. problem.
id figure they would stick with the shiney case they would use on the regular ps3 im guessing that theyre going to change the color with the initial release "ps3 slim white edition" or some crap that logo isnt going to be changed either.
anyone else but me fapped to the ps3 slim?
slightly disturbing ==
The Phillipines?
If this were true this would have
been in Japan.
There's no proof this even works in
the video.
In my humble opinion this is just another example of how clever and skilled Chinese pirates have become. There was a recent case of Chinese counterfeiters pirating an entire company. A Korean company that makes MP3 players. The Chinese pirates conducted their own product design and test marketing and produced unique products all under the Korean companies' name. I think that Chinese pirates are now making their own version of the PS3.
oh noes it´s "SOMY" again ^^
making there new "BS3" Slim-Edition.
wow piracy is even going this far, eh ?
looks like some Philippine bootleg shit.
hardly surprising.
>looks like some Chinese bootleg shit.
Fixed for accuracy.
why can't it be the philipines bootleg shit?
China is not the only country that does bootlegs they are only famous for it.
And Japan, in return, keeps the Philippines dumped with surplus electronic appliances and vehicle parts. How sweet. (´∀`)
The country keeps Japan stocked with cheap pineapples and bananas.
>cheap
OH FUCK YOU
trains in some other cases supposed someone else would read this
and buses too!
China is the world factory so cant expect much.
Dried mangoes, asshole. Japan loves it.
And yes, people give a shit about those in Japan.
Dude there is a reason why Intel left this country for greener manufacturing waters.
Because Flips can't even be cost-effective.
Fake or not, at least Chinese can make shit like this, Flips can only import it.
Name me one Philippine made product that is even worth a damn.
Last time I checked even Timex watches are made in China now.
Sony Computer Entertainment doesn't even have an official presence in the Philippines. Most of the game consoles sold here are modded since they're grey-market. Although the PS3 hasn't been cracked yet afaik so currently only the richest kids have them and they set up game trading circles to be able to afford all its games.
Although if I think about it there's a choice of region A, B, or C games (the PAL ones from Europe are cheaper since they're not too compatible), as well as consoles from US, Japan, or Hongkong.
I'm at least willing to believe the plastic casing of that PS3 is genuine, fell off a shipping container from Taiwan maybe (it's just a couple of kilometers north after all). Not sure about the internals -- the cameraman should have at least asked for an in store demo and prove it isn't a generic 8-bit TV game system, or at best a PS2.
Japan always get the good stuff first.:]
Bullshit indeed! >:[
This is the Philippines, not Japan.
So what if its in the phillipine? asshole.. now you know that PS3 Slim is real.. bwahahaah asshole..
They get it first cause they made it.
That's what i mean.
That's what i mean to say.
c-c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!!
Whoops double or is this triple post?
Hopefully this PS3 will have full backward compatibility and other good stuff.
"if" it's real
and
"if" there's actually more features than current units
knowing sony, brace for a come back of the $599.99
you could buy two PS2s and a PS3 with that
I smell bullshit.
I smell POPstation.
ya think?
yeah
"Totoo ba to?"
it looks like china made from divisoria..
jeez.. again with this disposable crap ugh >_<
Baka naman "Custom-Made" in China yan. Like the one in CD-R King that looks like a Wii but it was a different sytem with 20 "China-Quality" games. More-over, the shop looks like a second hand shop in Greenhills or Quiapo mall.
Mukha ngang China made.
Construction pa lang crappy na.
Seems like a Phil. Made sh!t, no offense on my Country tsk tsk tsk O_o
It's Artefact's fault!
It's the feminists fault!
Funny enough that the fake stuff AND the real stuff are made in china.
That' why God made mankind
everything else is China.
It's the Chinese fault!!
China is widely known in making all of these fake stuffs.
It only happened that the 'slim PS3' got its way in the Philippine shores.
seems like an Philippine made shit~! no offense on my country :3
I thought only china would do something like this...
I bet its just ps2 slim with a bigger casing
the video comments did say "BLACK market" but im not convinced
Lol, the logo says it all.
This is obviously fake.
It could very well be as Anon said as well but even then...
We will just have to see I guess.
its a fake its from greenhills its not even working the owner wont even test it.
Slim = shady XD
^ I see what u did there...
That is obviously some cheap Made in China PS3 clone which has ended its way to a flea market in the Philippines.
you didnt read the tags did you?
PS3 Phat is sexier.
Anorexic PS3, huh?..
+1
author's comment after video = very true
very true = this 'ps3 slim' is bullshit.
now whos talking BULLSHIT? PS3 Slim is out on sale.. now whos talking BULLSHIT!!
chubby chaser
...and whats wrong with that?
"PS3 Phat is sexier."
QFT
Uuuum... If they slimmed it down, wouldn't that make it over heat like crazy? Blinking yellow light of death anyone?
Nope, that's the secret extra feature of the upcoming XBox 720.
