Apparently, the Philippines already has the slim PlayStation 3s on sale. Don’t believe me? A forum poster on UltimatePlayStation writes that while walking around an underground marketplace in his country looking for a good deal on the PlayStation 3, “out of nowhere” he finds a PS3 Slim, providing an image and video for proof. The media looks exactly like the leaked manufacturing images released previously.

Here’s a list of what he says the PS3 Slim is boasting.

  • 120 GB HDD.
  • Two USB Ports.
  • Eject ‘Touch’ button is gone, now there are “these random buttons”.
  • White “PlayStation Icon” instead of colored.
  • No card reader.
  • The bottom and top of the console read “PS3″ instead of “PlayStation 3″.
  • Selling with a DualShock 3.
  • Selling for 20,000 pesos (or $410).

To add more fuel to the fire, Vespene, Editor & Graphics at GameTrailers, has this to say on the matter.

“Sony can’t keep leaks. Spoiler: It’s Real”

Of course, she’s probably just guessing or supposing based on the video and all the leaked information. Without further adieu, here’s the video.

    I’m just trying to figure out how it got in these people’s hands. Is someone smuggling PS3 Slims out of the factory and why didn’t they post better pictures than this if they were going to leak it.

    Come on, do it right. Most everyone has or has access to a digital camera so why not get a table, spread out a white sheet, get some decent lighting and go to town on this thing with photos of all sides and maybe even a video of someone connecting all the plugs and such and booting the thing up. That’ll be the real test. Just showing what could potentially be a hollow shell.

    But even then it could be a really good hack job where someone gutted the PS3 and stuck a different chassis on it.

    Either way this is all crap until Sony comes forward. And if this is real, good lord Sony, you absolutely SUCK at keeping secrets.

    Extremely shaky video, I can’t tell if its a slim PS3 or just some sort of set top box!?

    Anyway I would like to think that Sony would release a slim PS3 at some point, whether that video shows one or not is anyones guess.
