The logo has already been heavily discussed when it was shown 2 months ago. Everything that needs to be said about it has been said, and nobody is going to change anyone else's mind.

First read this:

And then you observe the video there and photo. It's identical.
Even if Knock-off companies were to make their own (as they surely will someday) they would had to be ahead of themselves and Sony in this case.
Justin Dailey said:Not sure if this has been posted yet (I'm 5 pages behind but catching up) but why would Sony reinvent the PS3 logo in the May/June time frame...
...and then release a slim console with a clearly different logo?
I don't get why everyone thinks thats a new logo. http://www.ps3center.net/ has been using that logo for a year now, so it's at least that old.

Halfway decent looking build quality plus USB ports which none of the knock-offs I've seen ever had.
I wasn't saying this wasn't a real thing...or that the thing wasn't the same one observed in the initial leak. I was saying that it (in either of the sets of leaked photos) might not be genuine Sony hardware.Wollan said:
But after reading your previous post, I guess the case is pretty compelling. I usually love the design of Sony electronics. Maybe I'll like it more when I see it shot using a real camera.

Don't think so, that's just their own customised logo, using the original font.
Er, we're talking official use by Sony. It's not hard to grab the Spider-Man font online and just take the P, S, and 3 from it and recreate the logo at any point. The important thing isn't what some fansite's banner is, but what Sony itself uses in advertising the system.EXGN said:

I'm still extremely skeptical of this.
Why does some store in the Philippines have an unboxed version of an updated game console that hasn't even been announced yet? How does that even happen? It doesn't make any sense. Some suggested that it was stolen - where from? A Sony R & D centre? A shipment?
If these were being secretly shipped to stores anywhere in the world we would have heard about it by now. Cell phone pics from GameStop employees would be flooding the internets.

If it's a real thing, it's almost definitely some viral marketing campaign effort. There is no sense whatsoever in someone not making better photos / videos, or buying this outright and then selling it on ebay for much more than $400.DoctorWho said:

Well, there are only two ways this becomes plausible. Either this is a viral marketing campaign or they are being held in storage somewhere.
What's really frustrating about the video is that the guy doesn't ask the fucking obvious. First and foremost - CAN YOU HOOK IT UP? Also, I would have been interested in seeing the box.

HD up to 1080i can go through component.dwin45 said:
HUELEN10, if you have the PS2 and PS3 there, why not just swap which system the component cable is plugged into depending on which one you play? Can't be arsed to get up there and switch em manually?

1080p too, if your TV supports itShinoguTakeruKoeru said:

Well mine doesn't so I forgot that. Always had the perception that 1080p could only go through HDMI, or was that for Blu-ray playback._dementia said:

I have an HDTV, what made you think I didn't?dwin45 said:
Don't like the thought of possibly wearing down the pins on the cables or the console ue to so much connecting and disconnecting. Rather just downgrade the PS2.ShinoguTakeruKoeru said:
So no 1080p through component for movies? That is seriously fucked up.inner-G said:

Yeah, the promo for that DualShock keypad.Justin Dailey said:
Made a comment about it in that thread, didn't generate much interest at the time though.
Not official Sony branding, of course. They were just doing what Sony should've done in the first place.EXGN said:

That's a good point. Also I remember hearing from somewhere here where last generation SD stuff looked kinda better through S-Video than component anyways so there's that going for you if it's true.HUELEN10 said:
On the subject of this PS3 slim, I'm hoping I can slip in the hard drive I've got now since I have PSP-formatted movies on there that take up loads of space (Lord of the Rings Extended, all 3 of em together, are like 12 gigabytes). Failing that, I hope the slim model has enough space in the internal hard drive.

What's the problem? If you have a 1080P TV you're also going to have HDMI.

This is true, damn what's wrong with me tonight? I usually remember this trivia. I've been going out of my way to always keep 100 gigs free from my 250gb drive so the slim'll probably work out for me.Cowie said:

HUELEN10 said:Only have 1 HDMI port, and my 360 didn't come with components, so it is taking up the HDMI. Have 2 component ports, WIi on one, PS2 on the other. Where else would the PS3 go? :lol Also, never said it was a 1080p set.
Well you mentioned not being able to view BD movies at 1080P over component.
As for the HDMI port issue, you can either shell out $15 for an HDMI switch or go with MONSTER POWER for your 360.

I am not gonna shell out 40 USD for component cables!inner-G said:
Hmm, the switch idea seems good. I will look into it, thanks.Valkyr Junkie said:
In all seriousness though, at 720p, would it even make a difference if I hooked it with HDMI over component? Yeah, I know analog vs digital, but still, my cables are official and properly shielded.
