A Gamespot user has performed some clever research into the PS3 Slim and has found evidence to suggest the concept, as we at least know it, is a fake.

kazuya_m over at the Gamespot boards has been in contact with a group of Chinese people who have been behind some of the fake PS3 Slim pictures. The “brains” of the team work at a factory and used tools their to make the fake PS3 Slim models, while the rest of the team spread the rumours through various internet aliases.

And the reason behind this? They wanted to sell the fake PS3 Slim models on eBay. But apparently the second rumour they revealed wasn’t as believable as the first, and they have decided to reveal their scheme.
It’s an interesting read and explains why all we have been hearing of the PS3 Slim is rumour. The PS3 Slim was always a long way off, but these fakes probably inspired the real thing. Hats off to you kazuya_m!

Lmao, they probably will release a Ps3 slim, but i wont be buying it.

I wouldn't even bother buying a slim. Especially if they were as ugly as the fake ones.
