Super Slim PlayStation 3 Documents Found Online?

Super Slim PlayStation 3 Documents Found Online?

Documents relating to, what could be, a brand new PlayStation 3 has surfaced. According to Eurogamer, the model in question is possibly a “super slim” model. The documents concerning the following images were filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), where it was then spotted by a Japanese website.

The model is allegedly labeled the 4,000 Series.

At the moment, the current generation PlayStation models are part of the 3,000 series. It was then hinted that the 4,000 series would be revealed at Gamescom next month.

The images for the device were filed with the FCC, where it shows the size relation of the 4,000 series to the other models. It seems a bit smaller, doesn’t it?

This initiative seems a bit strange, and somewhat gallant, because aren’t we meant to be expecting next-generation consoles in the next two years, and does this mean Sony are looking to cash in before the new technology arrives?

Or, of course, this could all be a hoax.

      They did a similar thing with the PS2. Broguht out a tiny version of it just before PS3 released, if I remember right.

      That was a life saver for me cause my fat PS2 just died a 1 month after that and in the process scratched my GTA San Andreas :/

      Hey maybe that will happen to you and Yashaar’s launch model XD

      I hope Cavie becomes your stalker, that’s how much contempt I have for you right now after that truly evil curse you wished upon me and my brother.

      I’m curious to see how this goes. 

      You know, I only had my PS2 for 8 months, then I won a PS3.

    They’ll either drop the price significantly or introduce some technology, like built in Move or Interwebs Connectivity. Though they may also just do all they can to make it as cheap as possible (cost wise, to produce) and put some spin on it in order to sell. Remember, they sold a crap load of PS2′s, even after the PS3 was released.

    • AG_Sonday

      That’s partially because PS2 only officially released in Brazil in 2010 :P

    I can’t wait to replace my invisible, microscopic, unusable ps3 with this one.
