Everyone is believing that the redesigned PS3 which Sony plans to reveal at E3 is going to be the PS3 Slim. No one knows if it is true or not, but NeoGAF member, RanoNL, has posted a picture of what people assume to be a PS3 standing vertically along side a PS3 Slim. It doesn't look real, so I'm going to assume that it isn't real. Besides, the console standing next to the PS3 looks cheap and not nearly as well made as the PS3.

First, there was our article about a redesigned PS3 being revealed at E3. Shortly thereafter images were leaked on LevelUp of what appears to be a PS3 slim. Since then every gaming site on the ‘net has ran some type of an article, either debunking it, or explaining why they think it’s real.


Anyone who has seen the leaked images of the PS3 Slim has surely wondered how the size compares to the original PS3. A new image has surfaced thanks to NeoGAF member RanoNL. The pic shows an original PS3 standing vertically, and along side it what appears to be a PS3 Slim standing vertically.

While we aren’t sure of the validity or the origin of the image, it clearly shows that the PS3 Slim (if that is the same PS3 Slim as the leaked pics) is significantly smaller than the original PS3. Taking a closer look at the image, it doesn’t appear as though it has the ‘PS3′ logo on the bottom, so there is a chance this isn’t the same PS3 Slim case as the one shown in the leaked pics (which again we believe is real).

For now all we can do is speculate until Tuesday, June 2 at 11AM when the SCEA E3 Press Conference (which we will be live-blogging as it happens) starts, and the PS3 Slim is finally revealed.

    Looks too small, I really don't know if they could fit everything into it.

    What's with all the PS3 slim hype going on lately?

    Honestly I still believe this is just a mockup. Something of an empty shell that someone made. Not something Sony is working on.

    Could be wrong, but hope I'm not.

    I hope its not. That horrible dull surface and dank lettering is really ugly.

        Top left of the ps3 above, it has PS3 engraved instead of a nice metallic finish.

          Do you mean on the right? The PS3 I posted has the engraved writing on it's right side. I thought he was talking about the "PS3" up top. They're 2 different products.

    Looks ok to me. But like what Red 9 said, I'm also a little skeptical about what they may have took out to make a smaller model.

    fake. While I would love a smaller and CHEAPER (cheaper above all) PS3, it ain't gonna happen.

    Especially if it was that ugly (hell I'd still buy it though XD i'm poor)

      [Update] It’s starting to look as though this photo is of a knock-off called “FunStation 3” and not the true PS3 Slim.
      What a waste of time and 10 seconds of my life.
