Mockup revised. Made everything higher resolution, put the new power/eject buttons on it, and had some fun with reflections.

First, the old one:

Now, the new one!

You never cease to amaze me. :D Very well done, looks better than the original in terms of the surface material (matte looks matte, shiny plastic looks shiny etc), new buttons look accurate for what little we have seen of them as well.. the 'SONY' logo also looks better as it is a bit smaller which seems more like the real shots.

Generally speaking, we have obtained the PS3 slim model shots before Sony even took them. :lol

Well done bro.

:lol I didn't even pay attention to that, though you think the PS logo is a bit too small? Maybe that's just me.

I still think they may use the spidey font "PS3" logo. I don't think they'll switch fonts on the slim version.

Don't think anyone picked up on these

WHSmith selling PS3 fat for £200 - http://www.ghoststorm.co.uk/?p=2426

WHSmith commenting on 'new products' from Sony behind their stock clearance - http://www.ghoststorm.co.uk/?p=2750

If anyone has a WHSmith near them selling a PS3 for £200, that's a steal. Article is over a week old though, I suspect no stock in sight at that price by now.

That 299$ price point for the Slim is looking more and more probable with every tidbit we get.

Homoarakhan font was there years before Spiderman movies .


but the third movie was pure garbage shit , and it was Sony Picture's fault ( not Sam Raimi I wuv the man ) Sony Picture is sister company of SCE , and SCE used Homoarakhan font on PS3 too , so we Spiderman 1/2 fans can blame and hate the font on PS3 because the shit that was Spider-man 3 , this is pure logic .

wtf?

i really liked SM3, it caught the spirit of the comic really well. it was cheesy at times, sure, but so is the comic.

SM3 >> the dark knight.

at least spiderman knows he's wearing like a spider and doesn't take himself too serious like batman does. seeing a gritty movie with a man dressed like a rat with wings who talks about morality and shit is really sad.

Here in the civilized world the prices shown are required by law to include VAT. Ie. The price consumer sees at the shelves is the price consumer pays at the counter.

I always laugh when people look dumbfounded like we don't pay taxes. It's the same in Australia, its the law for all displayed prices to be GST (Goods and Services Tax) inclusive. The price on the tag is the price we pay at the checkout.

The way it should be.

I have absolutely no idea why in America you have to wait till checkout to see final price, it's just... backwards?

Nasty surprise as a tourist on my first visit to America. Although nice that a lot of the larger stores waive this if you present a passport.

Oh I've been to the states in almost double figures now, I can pretty much add the 7% tax whilst looking at the product, but I genuinely have no idea why it's done that way...

But yes, my first visit there when I went to buy AvP I think it was (old PC game, awesome awesome game), I only took the correct (what the shelf said) amount to the till :lol

You know sales tax varies by state right?

New York is almost 9%

Where as Nevada is 0%

So you guys wouldn't actually pay 299 for a 299 PS3?
Click to expand...

Nope. Here in Tennessee, the tax is 9.25 or so, so it would actually be closer to 330. But we do have Amazon which is tax free.

states have different tax rates, cities have different tax rates, and if you order online, some places dont charge sales tax. Not sure why its a hard concept to grasp. Its just easier for companies to price it at the base price for use all over the country instead of having to take every state or even some cities taxes into account.

Where I live, one shop across the street charges 8.25% tax, the shop on the other side charges 8.00%. (county line)

I saved a couple pennies!

Most ads are national, different counties and cities within states have different tax rates, etc.

Yeah, pretty much... I don't understand why stores cant put the final price on shelves... ok for price on global advertising, but at least at the store give a clue to the customer.
