Playstation 3 Slim Really Almost Probably Coming Soon
August 6th, 2009
Thinking of buying a Playstation 3? Heard some rumors about the inevitable slim version coming sooner rather than later? Ben Kuchera of Ars Technica kindly rounded up the evidence for your perusal.
I for one, believe in ol’ Ben Franklin’s saying: “Nothing is certain but death and a slimmer version of a Sony video game system. And my eternal fame.” Really, it’s a question of when, not if. And the answer seems to be August 18. (pssst, Ben, you cited Gizmodo but your link leads to Engadget! That’s blasphemy!)
If PS3 Slim rumors were Pokemans, Kuchera’s almost caught ‘em all: everything from their own insider info, to the non-denial of Sony’s director of Hardware Marketing, John Koller, to significant increases in orders for PS3 components. Everything except Engadget‘s alleged leaked shots of the console’s case and box art, which I have just pointed out to you. Because gossip is for geeks too. Check out the article for the rest of the links.

What the fuck? you need to hide this thing or your eyes will puke..
I’d rather have it compressed to some sort of a cube, instead of this flat piece of shit..
Well hopefully, when it’s all shiny and finished, it’ll look better. It’s really hard to tell from these photos.
That looks utterly disturbing. I’d rather keep a broken record in front of my entertainment center than that. THe ps3 looks fine the way it is though disregarding it’s weight.
Not only are the pictures low quality (also uncomfirmed) but also the fact that these cases havent had anything added to them yet, they are the cases fresh off the line before paint and whatnot goes onto it, saying its ugly before its even finished? how stupid can you get.
I’ll leave my judgements after i see the finished product at gamescom.
Totally different pictures surfaced today:

Not much prettier. I think I prefer the original if that’s what it will look like.
Man that was ugly. Whoa. I think and I hope that those are fake. Ugly ugly ugly.
Looks like K-Mart is now accepting pre-orders for the PS3 Slim:
