So here's the deal.
I was walking around this underground marketplace in the Philippines, hoping to get a good deal for a PS3. Lo and behold out of nowhere i saw the PS3 slim. It looked EXACTLY like the rumored photos. I asked the guy and he said it was brand new and that our country had it first. I have a video and a few details.
What I know:
- It has a 120GB HDD.
- Two USB Ports
- The 'touch' button for eject and on seems to be gone, and there are now these random buttons.
- The ps icon is now white instead of colored.
- No more card reader
- PLAYSTATION 3 is gone, rather its PS3. It says this on the bottom as well for some reason.
- The guy was selling it with a Dualshock 3. Whether it is compatible is another matter.
- The guy was selling it for 20,000 pesos, which is roughly £250, which is roughly $410

real or not
Update 1:
Mysterious PlayStation 3 Slim listing appears on Amazon.de
http://www.amazon.de/Sony-PlayStatio...9100371&sr=1-1
Quote:
A listing has been found on the German Amazon shop for "PlayStation 3 Konsole slim." There are no other details on the listing -- no date, no picture, no price, and even the platform is listed as "platform independent." The listing is so new and so devoid of info that nobody has even posted any user reviews of this nonexistent product.
With all the stuff we've heard about the supposed Slim, we have no doubt that it is, or will be, a real product -- but this Amazon listing does little to convince. We will, however, keep checking Amazon for more info about the Slim, whenever we log back in to see if Starcraft: Ghost is back in stock.
Update 2:
NeoGAF is speculating on whether a recently uncovered YouTube 'Making of Batman' clip from the Rocksteady team contains a PS3 Slim at the 1:35 minute mark that was edited out.

Update 3:
another mockup on a chinese gaming magazine.
Update 4:
Here's what the oft-quoted game-industry analyst Michael Pachter has to say:
Quote:
"All of the rumors floating around suggest that a PS3 price cut and introduction of the PS3 Slim is going to happen by the end of the month, and GamesCom is the only significant event between now and then."
"We have seen reports out of China about increased PS3 component orders, have seen pictures that look real of the PS3 Slim, and have seen recent reports of declining PS3 stock in Japan and Europe, with comments from retail that they have been told not to expect new supplies of PS3s until the end of August or early September. All of that points to the possibility of an announcement at GamesCom."

Update 5:
Either way, we're only a few more hours until all is finally revealed by Sony at GamesCom 2009.
