****The Playstation 3 Slim Thread****

There are now theories that the whole Slim concept is fake - conjured up by Chinese pranksters who built those infamous models to sell on eBay...

Any Website worth there salt would actually know that the leaked original slim photos including box style and font match exactly with the PSP go box style and font. So either Sony saw the PS3 slim box and thought it looked coo and used it for the psp gol, or the slims are pretty much real.

Buying one is hardly an impossible feat; however, recently there do seem to be a higher percentage of retailers with the machine sold out.

Take that sign, which says that all colors of the PS3 are sold out.

At a Sofmap retailer, there are no laminated PS3 tickets you can take to the register to exchange for a PS3 — meaning, this shop has no PS3s in stock. There are PS2, Xbox 360 and Wii tickets as those consoles are in stock.

All this comes as a notice surfaced, stating that 80GB PLAYSTATION 3 sales would cease on August 9. The surfaced notice was apparently from retailer 7-Eleven (7-Eleven sells video games in Japan) and stated that pre-orders for the Black, White and Silver 80GB PS3 will cease on Sunday, August 9 at 10am.

And now, look, days later and Japanese stores are out of the Black, White and Silver PS3! Though, it's still unknown how widespread this actually is and if this phenomena is only occurring in isolated stores or is nationwide.

The rumor is that Sony will be unveiling a new PS3 model at the Games Convention in Germany and the decision to take the 80GB off the market in Japan is to make room for that new model.

Perhaps they are keeping those 80GB for warranty replacements now if the stock was removed rather than completely sold out.

I prefer the new one - much more "techno" futuristic looking. I never did like the way they used the Spiderman font for the PS3. Wonder if they will change that in the firmware or if's part of the boot code on the Blu-ray Discs themselves.
 
Looks like a montage of last 6 months worth of EU PlayStation Home?

Apart from the Fight Night 4 space and the Red Bull Flugtag space (last 20 secs of video) everything else is already in Home and Live (including all the mini games).

Well a certain supermarket is now selling 80GB PS3 for £250 with 2 games such as LBP, KZ2, Infamous, Ghost busters. Getting ready for the PS3 fat sale!
 
I think the old one looks better :o

The slim is actually bigger than I expected, or is that because the thickness can't really be compared in the pic?
