God DAMNIT Sony.

...Wait, what do I care? My PS3 has backwards compatability. I don't need a slim version.

Unless this one is backwards compatable again.

...It looks even uglier than the current PS3 model.

I'm expecting Microsoft to come out with a slimmer version of the 360 because of this.

Not Nintendo. The Wii can't get any thinner than it already is.

I would actually find it hilarious if we were fooled and it was actually Sony's version of the balance board.

The holes and such are just there for looks.

Supplemental link since it looks like the old one isn't working.

Looks cheap and fake. I'll leave this on the pile of salt stash until proven otherwise.

Today, pictures of what appears to be a redesigned PS3 have appeared on Chinese message boards.

It must be a mod. 8D

But yeah, I agree with PB.
...It looks even uglier than the current PS3 model.

Both look quite ugly IMO.

It looks interesting. Taking with a grain of salt, but if it adds good backwards compatibility, awesome.

...Sony-er? 

Anyway, as most of you are no doubt already aware, Sony has announced a slimmer PS3 coming out the first week of September.  Not only that, but it, and regular PS3's will only cost $299 now.  Oh, and there was something about new firmware and such, etc.  Either way, I definitely don't see this as a bad thing at all for those who don't have one.  So hurray!
