Playstation 3 Slim

[coldfire01]

Sony may have denied rumours that it's planning to produce a slimmer PlayStation 3, but images have since cropped up that appear to show the casing and packaging of just such a machine.

Snapped in China and posted on a local blog, the various images appear to show a case that?s roughly half the depth of the currently bulky model.

A shot of the console?s packaging also reveals how the unit would appear on a shop shelf, that?s if you believe what you?re seeing.

The pictures are of poor quality and it?s entirely possible that what you?re actually looking at is the shell for a knock-off slimline PS3 with no authentic Sony credentials.

It?s also worth noting that the pictured shell only says PS3 across its front, instead of the PlayStation 3 wording on the existing model. Has PS3 become well known enough for Sony to drop the PlayStation name altogether?

Sony?s yet to comment on the pictures. ?
