Well, what do you know. On the very day Sony denied a redesigned PS3 was in the pipeline, images have surfaced on a Chinese gaming messageboard purporting to be leaked factory images of just that: A new PS3 "Slim" that appears well into production. Much more after the break.
If US retail boxes are already being printed and assembled, we have to imagine this new, rebranded "PS3" -- no sign of Spider-Man font anywhere -- is coming very soon, perhaps post-E3.
Will there be an accompanying price drop? Or is this simply a very, very well done fake? We'll know soon enough. For now, peep the vaguely illicit-looking cell phone cam images and speculate.

I never asked for this!
Extremely fake.

Anyway, hopefully it's not real. It's rather ugly.
Satans..... hints.....
1) The system pictured in the first image is different from the following images.
Spot the difference to win a fat bundle of rape dollars!
2) It looks like a fucking binder that I would have used in 4th grade or some shit.
Anybody care to add to the list?
I rather like my PS3's design anyways, I just don't stack shit on top of it :P

How can you say that? I think we're all looking forward to owning a slim Chinese Play5tation3.
With built in games such as:
PlasticGear5olid
Fridg5racorz
Tiny5mallplan3t
It brings back bad memories.
thus why he can fit his hand in there
why the hell would they release a slim ps3 now?
fuck 1up for giving this cred
what if it ends up being real?
oh don't worry it's not.
it's way too fugly. and chinese.
like seriously this is not even debatable.
also, no one denies the existence of a product that has already made it to manufacturing. And a product like the ps3 would no be packaged like that.
I could go on and on but srsly, 1up knows it's fake, they just want them some traffic. So fuck them and fuck the bored pranksters in China.
Quit being a douche.
PS3s are manufactured in China.
im not being a douche. i love me some cheap counterfeit china products, i grew up on them.
everything is manufactured in china. that's not even saying anything, i hope you realize.
im talking about the fact that it looks like it was designed in china.
This, right here, is my thoughts on this.
They managed to design sock that costs $2.99 for 10 pairs.
Geniuses.
If for some reason it turns out to be true (haha), if that's all they can manage after the PSone and PS2 Slim then I despair for Sony's future console designs
They'll find a reason.
It's part of the same initiative as the PSP Go! to move to a completely digital setup.
Notice the 120 gigs of storage. You need that for all your downloaded games and digital content, all integrated with Home.
if you're being funny it's going over my head. You can already get whatever storage you want for your PS3.
But Sony aren't overcharging you for them.
