with that lame @ss font..i could swear its a joke

Sanzee6117d ago

I appreciate the enthusiasm but what I want to see is some actual proof. Personally, I believe that a new and unique version of the PS3 is on the way. It's kind of obvious when you think about it. But posting articles like this discredits the new PS3 by turning it into some kind of joke. This obviously isn't real. I don't think it's fair to the PlayStation community.

ReservoirDog3166116d ago

Maybe that store believes there's going to be a new PS3 so they're taking preorders for it?

IzKyD13316116d ago

Holy crap, its just a few more days until this hurricane of PS3 slim news passes, but if it isn't announced at gamescon, everyone will be pissed

PS360PCROCKS6116d ago

Lmao if it isn't announced I'LL be PISSED!!! My fiancee went and bought like a trillion girly blu-ray movies and wants to take over the PS3 for movie purchases and that's no bueno. So I worked like 20 hours of OT the past 2 weeks to the tune of like $450 something dollars and I want a price DROP!! Plus some extra cash for a new game or something...

gamerdude116116d ago

Didn't Kokugamer post the thread that claimed the Slim was a hoax? I am actually glad for this site, I appreciate their incompetence.

RememberThe3576116d ago

If it turns out to be wrong people get disappointed and mad at Sony for not makes their dreams come true.

Montrealien6116d ago (Edited 6116d ago )

this has got to be the lamest attempt at jumping on the PS3 slim rumor banwagon, 120% fail. Also, this has got to be the worst photo shop ever. OR some store manager ridding the rumor mill of the PS3 slim and just takign speculative eposites it is official, bottom line though is that it is not official, and if sony mae it official with that kind of poor ass pre orders inserts, I pitty sonys marketing team.

indysurfn6116d ago

I pity the fool that pays current price for a xbox360, or a PS3. They will be mad if they don't get a price match. It is possible that you can buy it at best buy and get a 30 day price match. This will happen if next week Sony announces a price drop, but the price drop is not for 30+ days and you have just bought yours! You will not get a price match if that is the case. Even if you get a price match and the PS3 slim has a bigger hard drive you will still be upset and pissed off. Not so sure the 360elite drive size is changing.

I'll believe this when my crap turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

I doubt it's real, they would have the picture of the new SKU at least, even than, the sign seems a bit out of place.

RememberThe3576116d ago

Dude photoshoped a picture, put it in a plastic stand, and took a picture of it. That's my theory anyway.

JoeyC6117d ago

these kind of pictures always have horrible angles/quality...dont matter, already have a ps3 anyways...

Reibooi6117d ago

Yeah I know what you mean. You would think if this was real and someone saw it that they would stop and get a good shot of the flier if they cared enough to take a picture at all.

Something with a bad angel or blurry quality is almost certainly fake.

wiggles6116d ago

Yeah...and just look at that font...Yeah, it looks alright....but there is no way in hell Sony used that font for a PS3 promotion....this is totally fake....but hey, a broken clock is right twice a day...the media will guess the PS3 price drop/PS3 slim announcement eventually.

Ziriux6117d ago

What I don't think that Sony is trying to match SKUs of MS with how many versions they have. I think this is a possible joke or hey what do you know sony may announce some spepcial ps3.

PS360PCROCKS6116d ago

spepcial? is that a special kind of special? ;)

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7716d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde23d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy23d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga24d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga24d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger24d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box24d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion23d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7224d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7524d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7724d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
