If it does get redesigned, no doubt it will be like that ps3, ..They knew nothing about it, they sure do now, and will probably exploit it.

it could be a prototype model. As in a bit of plastic with noting inside but this is what it'll look like type thing.

However from the look of the box, i'd say someones having a laugh.

er thats a disgrace, someone has photoshopped out the bottom half of the ps3,

the font is not the ame as sonys,

the box is wrong,

no one in china has a camera that poor quality. even on a phone.

layout of the box is wrong.

photo on box and product do not match

when showing the usb ports, at the back, the picture is very "dodgey" it could be from a laptop, router, or anything,

if some one was trying to prove, or announce before sony can get to it, there is a new model, then at least prove it properly, not with this shoddy bollox that i cud make in 5 mins.

You'd have to be pretty dim to think any of that's genuine Sony material.

Yup, totally agree with everyone. Clear fake but purple101,


"no-one in china has a camera that poor quality. even on a phone."

both ignorant and potentially racist, playing up to asian tourist stereotypes? and how per se would the layout of the box be wrong? Did you design it? Layout can be done in any way you want to do it, it doesn't have to match that of the original ps3.


but anyway, as I said, obvious fake.[/quote]

The pictures of the casing look to be only part of the console, there apears to be another part in the photo on the box, which is what it looks like when complete. As far as I can see it's genuine, as I'd imagine Sony would want to save as much money on production costs as possible, and making the consoles case out of fewer/cheaper parts is just what they would do. But who knows, maybe it's just a prototype, or it may just be designed for developing countries. Confused

While I also don't believe it to be true. I agree that Sony have a better product design department that the effort seen in the photo, purple101, just how is the layout of the box all wrong? I understand cricism of the product itself, but box layout or typeface change for that matter, could well change in reality. And it should in my opinion. The Spiderman typeface always looked horrible. Really poor letter construction. I actually think the typeface used in the fake is an improvement!

Why is everyone on this site so afraid of change? Remember the changes Sony made to the PS1 and PS2? Both were remodeled and rebranded, from "Platstation" to "PS", so why the shock at this? Rolling Eyes

It looks like some fat guy has sat on a normal PS3. It could be real judging by the box. Remember the first PS3 controller sony showed, everyone complained about it and then they changed it.

I don't think anyone is afraid of change, expecially when those changes are just cosmetic. The problem is that mock up looks like s**t.

I've no doubt the pictures are real, but what is photographed here is some kind of counterfeit/fake PS3.

I mean China has the king of all fake/counterfeit industries.

Rumours and news is going mad these next few weeks as E3 looms.

What "mock up"? All I see is a pack shot and some parts of the plastic casing in the photo's. Rolling Eyes

LMAO, what a horrible, ugly-looking piece of s**t. I doubt Sony would approve those consoles when they look as fake and as tacky as that.

Not everyone! I actually thought it could have been an improvement on that old thing Sony are too scared to change. It's the only reason I don't own a PS3. I have to use when I go over to a friend's place, but I don't enjoy gaming with it. The triggers, the size, the layout of the thumbsticks feel either poorly designed or awkward and uncomfortable to use. Clearly this isn't the case for all PS3 owners, and I assume Sony's next console will stick with this design too.
