PSP Go/PS3 Slim Retail Box Comparison
Leaked photos of the PS3 Slim have hit the ‘net courtesy of Level up (see photo above), and while it has the fans and haters alike clamoring that it’s an obvious fake, we are quite sure that it is not.
Sony has long been wanting to reduce the cost of production of the highest priced console (well worth every penny) on the market out of the big three. This will help turn more of a profit for Sony, and allow for price cuts down the line.
The pics shown by Level up are quite bad, and rightfully so people are calling it a fake. However the one thing that really stands out, and has me believing it’s real is the shot of the box.
The box has a strikingly similar layout as the PSP Go box. The logo on the bottom left hand side, along with the PSN logo, and memory capacity on the bottom right hand side. Also the Sony, and PlayStation logos in each respective upper corners. Lastly the colored XMB wave “stripe” across the middle of the box with the PS3/PSP layered over it is the same on each box, just using a different color for each box.
This certainly adds a great deal of weight to the PS3 Slim box possibly being authentic. Wouldn’t you agree?

yeah it does.. i need to see the console before making a judgement… looks real but the PS3 system looks kinda bland and ugly almost basic looking ..
May 30th, 2009 at 12:17 PM
I do agree.
And yes, I do see the similarities to both boxes. Especially the wave.
Nice work, Anthony!

looks legit to me,easy to believe that sony marketing is getting the box printed and ready for distribution in 3 or 4 months.
May 30th, 2009 at 12:39 PM
Well, I don’t know… I’m staring at the retail box my PS3 came packed in, and not in one single place is it ever called a “PS3″. I’m too lazy to look it up, but does Sony even have a trademark on that phrase?
Anyway, just sayin’.

They sure do! If you haven’t noticed in the latest game commercials, they have abbreviated PlayStation 3 to PS3 so that it will be bigger when next to the X360 Logo.

E3 will be the beginning of the end for other consoles…
May 30th, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Well i guess this is the confirmation of the slim system. And for the PSPgo i don’t know if i’m going to get it, my fat model still works great.
May 30th, 2009 at 1:27 PM
I certainly agree with you, Sev. Even though the scripts of “PSP GO” and the “PS3″ are slightly different, the rest of it looks authentic. I’m pleased that you’re the individual who’s been posting this news about the PS3 slim, as it lets me know you’re willing to risk your blog reputation to get the word out there and letting us know where you stand on the topic.
5/5!

Looks cool.

the only thing that doesnt make sense to me is that weve seen an sku for a new 80gb but this one says its a 120gb. anybody else find that odd?

im happy with sony’s policy and procedures. ALL their products always have good games, good support and a very LOW failure rate.
Anything new to the gaming industry is welcome…
Im curious about ONLIVE.

have you noticed towards the right side of the PS3 picture it cuts right at the edge of the PS3.. (where it folds) its kinda odd from a photograph point of view. when the box would be formed it would cut the edge of the picture off in the main PS3 towards the front right side. Assembled it would look off.

Guys just a heads up but in case you havn’t heard the ps3 ’slim’ is a fake, it had been dugged down by a site, and that the apparent lawyers in china was actually a university in america .
05/30/2009 at 4:47 PM
That article was fake and from a french site no one has ever heard of before.
They made up the story to get hits.
May 30th, 2009 at 3:50 PM
Unless they can make a slim and release it for 250 dollars I don’t care.
I want a PSP GO
May 30th, 2009 at 4:38 PM
@capt. fodder
They have been using the PS3 logo instead of the full Playstation 3 in commercials now. After that new Infamous commercial is says “PS3″. Don’t think it looked like that font tho.

[...] Filed under: ゲーム 左はQoreで流出したスライド式PSPこと「PSP go」の、右は中国の工場から流出した薄型「PS3」の、それぞれ製品パッケージとされる画像。真偽をさておいてデザインだけに注目すれば、PSPは青・「PS3」は赤いストライプとロゴの配置、メモリ容量の表記など、同時期に投入されるファミリ製品としてなんの違和感もありません。ではどれくらい信用できるのか？といえば、どちらもソニーから正式に発表されたわけではないものの、PSP goはSCEA公式のビデオマガジンQoreで(あるいはSCE広報のそっくりさんとVeronica Belmontを雇った猛烈に手の込んだフェイク動画で) 流出したPSP goそのものが使われています。また「PS3」については、現時点では事実だけをお話しせざるを得ませんが、前回の記事に掲載した写真について、中国大陸のある企業と法律事務所からEngadgetに削除要請が届いています。また、どちらかが本物で片方がニセモノという説も可能性としては考えられるところ。うわさではPSP goがE3発表、PS3は買い控えを嫌って後日という話でしたが、E3で薄型PS3発表の目もありうるかもしれません。Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments [...]
