Here's something fun to start your weekend with. Amazon's German site now has a listing for "
PlayStation 3 Konsole slim" from Sony Computer Entertainment, and really, it doesn't take years of foreign language class to figure out that English translation. It's listed as "platform independent" (har) and has its own Amazon Standard Identification Number (ASIN), but on the flip side, we're lacking a picture, release date, or any other tangible details. Can't say we've got a feel for the site's track record on random listings, but after all the
rumors and possible sightings as of late, it really makes ya wonder.
Update: In case you're wondering about that picture that now appears in the listing, it looks like a fan render that a customer has uploaded to Amazon.

Erm guys .. If you read what the page says you would notice that this wasn't posted by Amazon. All this appears to be is a plucky Amazon Marketplace seller called CDN listing this as an available item ... Sorry to rain on your parade and all. P.S. If you don't speak German then Google Translate is always a good place to start ..
it has a picture on the site. i hope this is fake because that thing is ugly as.
please be out in time for last gaurdian so I can get a used ps3 on the cheap =/
Here is the translation of the comment via google translator:
Hello,
I am one of the lucky PS3 Slim Pre allowed.
The New PS3 slim volume is more than 70% smaller and much lighter. It is distributed by Euro plug power.
Here are a few advantages and disadvantages of the PS3 Slim:
Advantages:
Finally, 2 HDMI ports to another device "Durchzuschleifen"
Probably, it will be cheaper than the "thick" version.
-Nurnoch 80 watts power consumption
-All games can be via Remote Play on PSP Go play because of the missing keys is indeed known as the Bluetooth port on the new PSP a Dual Shock connect.
-PS2 backwards compatibility via software. This Sony is hoping that higher sales figures.
- A very nice Feautures for Linux fans: It is a small graphics chip installed with the Linux will be usable. Thus, the graphics are no longer on the Cell emulated. Bring high-Performanche relapses.
Negative:
Hard to replace very expensive, since a 64GB SSD for use with the mini PCI Express slot.
-Unfortunately, the version installed on my mini-fan rasping sound (not sound but stop annoying noise) I hope this is changing.
Conclusion: The PS3 Slim, or how the final product is hoarse is a very mature product, which at last brings the backward compatibility.
Unfortunately, this Sony is not responsible for the thickness PS3s veröffenltichen so they sell more PS3 Slim.
What is very positive, which no functions have been restricted (Blu-Ray movies or license any accessory use)
Interesting...
the site has been taken down so either its fake or its real
Sold Out i guess
PS3's are still the best blu-ray players made. If the slim is around $300, I think they'll sell a lot of them just for that reason alone. I may pick up another one for the bedroom blu-ray player. If you're going to spend $250+ on a good player, why not get the media/gaming thrown in for another $50?
Yes, the games are mostly cross platform. But, as a player on both consoles, I have to say that gameplay on the PS3 is smoother and faster. Try spinning around in a FPS like Call of Duty World at War. 360 feels sluggish compared to the PS3 because it can't render as quickly. I notice the same thing in driving games.
