naa SEV has always been straight up, and he's a good dude. This if anything helps prove him right, I believe he said the pics wer fake and the slim is not. I knew those pics were fake the ps3 slim isint. I am posotive that we won't see it for a year or so maybe longer.

And a random poster here on N4G is so much more reliable that I'd take his claim that someone who actually provides us with PS3 news, including the recent Trico video, and is going to E3 to interview various people in the industry is in fact, not reliable.

You see how silly you sound now?

Just to remind you, Sev has said it could be one of a few things and only included the Slim because of its current status in the news. He included that it might just be a new model with a bigger HDD and game packaging or it could be a new controller as well.

Swings and roundabouts, you can all moan about Sev now, but I recall everyone kissing his ass when he was the first to show the "new" ICO game trailer.

Plus like others are mentioning, it looked like a dirt cheap DVD player. Sony have an eye for aesthetics and that thing certainly doesnt.

Aren't you affiliated with Sev ???

Anyway the point is...The only person to come out and say the PS3 slim "In those Pictures" are real, including the console and the box is Sev.

Its pretty obvious there will be a PS3 slim in the PS3 life cycle, its happened with every Sony console, it doesn't take an "insider" to guess that, but now we have some "evidence" to suggest the images are fake, after he clearly said they were real, he ends up looking a bit stupid.....

Anyway lets just wait till E3. Its pretty obvious that if this PS3 slim isnt at E3, like he said, he ends up looking very stupid..If it does I apologize in advance..

However the PS3 Slim is REAL, and so are the leaked pics. Mark my words, the box, and PS3 in the leaked pics will be shown at E3 and will be the final product."

This sentence is a two part post>>
"I just want to clarify, I am not sure if this newest image is real, or if it is fake. "

Sorry, but you can't chop up a statement losing a part of it's value.

Isn't it obvious he's talking about 2 separate leaked images? This is why he said the first statement. His second statement could still be true. It's just a matter of when.

the box leaked images.
the factory images.

@ Mindboggle,

How many times do I have to put you in your place?

Project Trico wasn't enough.

This site is a phony, the box pics aren't. You are pissing me off.

That's the real PS3 slim and I stand by it. How is some crappy no name french site's word being taken as gospel?

You have pushed me.

If I prove you wrong I want a public apology. One every story I submit for the next month.

I don't need to prove my credibility to you or anyone else. I already did that with Project Trico.

However you just gave me a reasons to do something I wasn't going to do...

That original leaked box image, is 100% real.

I know because I have seen the PSP Go box. And it looks exactly the same as that PS3 slim box.

EXACT. Same logo placement, same XMB wave "stripe" across the middle.

darkpower - 213 days 5 hours ago

Sev, I hope you know that you're talking to brick walls.

Reason why they will take this site over you: it's a way to character assassinate someone who's revealed a LOT of good things for the PS3 and Sony (and Sony trusts you to keep things under wraps, unlike some people *coughKotakucough*), and that is something that the other side really doesn't like. They also don't want the PS3 to succeed because they want to justify why they don't have one yet. They want their precious 360 to win every single battle, and this slim thing will be a HUGE detriment towards that.

Like I said, this will be like talking to brick walls.

By the way, this site just rambles on about what they said they did. No proof is shown whatsoever that they did anything that they said they did.

You're backpedaling. As SOON as Sev came on here and began defending his case (and as soon as people began to call you out on how you believed some random site against someone who runs a proven site), you immediately changed your tone and said that you didn't care, and that if he's right, you would apologize. The problem is, you're the one who brought him up to begin with beforehand, and you seemed so sure of yourself that he was the liar and that this site had all the damn answers. He mentioned everything to you countless times as clear as can be, yet he's not allowed to defend himself on here or through PM (YOU'RE the one attacking him left and right and accusing him of lying. Why do you expect him NOT to answer?).

After whoelse made his comment: "Anyway lets just wait till E3. Its pretty obvious that if this PS3 slim isnt at E3, like he said, he ends up looking very stupid..If it does I apologize in advance.."

That's called backpedaling because you're suddenly slowing down your attacks. You're being called out for the unwarranted attacks and just taking this site's word for it without even thinking. He didn't say that the pictures themselves were real, just the news that the pic was related to was true. That and, as whoelse said, there was more than one image that was linked to this story.

You're trying to see the forest from the trees and saying that the tree is what made the entire forest. There's clearly more to the story than just a picture.

i'm sorry, but this is completely nonsense. We've had countless articles with evidence, CONCRETE evidence of the ps3 slim being real. Yet we get one article from an unknown french site stating its fake and that they caught out the Chinese culprits, by email, F*CKING EMAIL?!? then they talk about it being an elaborate scam to sell it on ebay, ebay? what... Iv never heard so much boll0x in my life.

have you forgotten that the first site to post the pics received a legal threat from the actual suppliers of the playstation console, asking them to remove them immediately.

i'm behind sev on this one, you know why? because it makes sense and its logical. this french sites explanation is completely illogical, anyone can claim to have made those pics.

Whats to say that the people who supposedly faked the PS3 Slim box, didn't see the same PSP Go! box and use that as a template for their fake?

I'm still on the fence about this, but it seems a little enthusiastic of you to say that the box is 100% real because it looks just like the PSP Go! box.

Even if it proves to be wrong it dosen't mean that Sev was lying. It could just mean that Sev got the wrong information. No one will ever get everything right all the time.

Cut him some slack. He posted not only screen shots of the super secret ICO project but also a trailer!. Most PS fans would have been happy even if just one screen shot was posted but Sev did the unthinkable and managed to post a whole trailer.

Look, even IGN UK are saying that its most likely true that this Slim PS3 rumor is real. Many other well know established sites say so as well. Will these other established sites lose their credability if this turns out to be false, or does it only apply to Sev?.

If i were you i would take Sev's word on this rather than this other French site that we don't know anything about.

Like someone mentioned earlier, it's possible that these people know what the PSP GO box looks like and used it as a template. The article said some of these people works in factories in China, maybe they have access to or know people who works in Sony's factories?
