So here's the deal.
I was walking around this underground marketplace in the Philippines, hoping to get a good deal for a PS3. Lo and behold out of nowhere i saw the PS3 slim. It looked EXACTLY like the rumored photos. I asked the guy and he said it was brand new and that our country had it first. I have a video and a few details.
What I know:
- It has a 120GB HDD.
- Two USB Ports
- The 'touch' button for eject and on seems to be gone, and there are now these random buttons.
- The ps icon is now white instead of colored.
- No more card reader
- PLAYSTATION 3 is gone, rather its PS3. It says this on the bottom as well for some reason.
- The guy was selling it with a Dualshock 3. Whether it is compatible is another matter.
- The guy was selling it for 20,000 pesos, which is roughly £250, which is roughly $410

If this thing is real it just solidifies the notion that Sony doesn't know what the fuck it's doing. That is one ugly piece of shit.

if the slim is as shitty as the newer psps ill pass...
what a piece of shit the psps are compared to lunch units (well in therms of finish and build quality) the newer ones have such a god damn awful plasic feel about them ...

1. touch-eject rarely worked for me due to wearing gloves some of the time, so mechanical is preferred IMO. That and if your hands are greasy or a little moist, it doesn't work all the time from my experience. Not only that, but it it way too easy to accidentally activate IMO, when you don't want to of all times! Basically, I hated it on my 60GB, and I don't want it anymore. Tactile buttons FTW.jts said:
2. Glossy is nice, but I prefer matte by a longshot. Looks sturdier IMO, even though it is just aesthetics.
3. I love external power supplies for 2 reasons. If they ever fuck up, I can replace them without having to do anything with the unit, and if I ever move, I just buy one specifically made for that region.

That thing is ugly and looks like a cheap Chinese knock-off.

I'm pretty convinced this is real, and I'm sure this isn't viral. Looks like another leak that Sony can't contain. Leipzig is at the end of the month, and the original leak had the European box design. This retail outlet may have gotten their shipment a little early and then decided to start selling early because they thought they were smart. Shame Sony can't keep there legs together.

Satin finish FTW. IMO
Wow, you have described everything I don't like about itHUELEN10 said:If it would be the same 400 USD and has a non-touch eject button, and is non-glossy, then it is already better in my book.
. I was kind of hoping it would be glossy still, have the touch buttons (since they are never used now that everything can be done on the controller and look much nicer), and keep the internal power supply as it's much cleaner than having a bulky external one. I also am hoping that the rotating PlayStation symbol would return, but if this is real then they stuck with what looks like a painted on white one that appeared in the first leaked shots (and maybe you can't position it vertically anymore). But I'm not really complaining since I got my ps3 mid 2007 and now that I don't like the look of the new one it will save me some money to not swap it out.HUELEN10 said:
OK the glove thing and the fact that your hands are moist when touching your electronics kind of scare me. :lol

IF SONY has any common sense left they will use the PS2 font style for the PS3..
HUELEN10 said:
you can't
if you use european external power supply for Xbox360 instead of the US one , say goodbye to your poor system .
with Wii you can use universal adapter ( they are available now on Amazon ) , but for Xbox360 you still need huge ass 110-220v or 220-110v converter to use with your US one .

From the "leaked box", these pics, and the PSP Go box being shown, this seems extremely unlikely.Unregistered007 said:
Yep, Wii is handy like that, but wasn't PS2 the same way? If PS2 was, wouldn't PS3? I mean, I don't want to assume anything, but wouldn't it make sense?Totobeni said:

...hate me...
The internal power suply of the PS3 is universal, if you ever move you just have to buy a cheap power cable. Mine already came with 3 different cables with different plugs.HUELEN10 said:
It's the same type of cable any PC uses so I even have a couple around the house next to different TV sets so when I feel like moving the PS3 to my room or to the living room etc, I just take the console.
It is a better solution by all means.
I'll let you go on point 1 and 2 though.

I never said my hands were greasy or moist, but if you must know, I have Dermatitis on my hands, so sometimes I need to put on a prescription creme lotion, so I put on surgical gloves when the time calls for it so I don't grease up my stuff..GqueB. said:
