As if an alleged leaked set of PlayStation 3 Slim photos wasn’t enough, IGN received word that a "trustworthy" U.S. GameStop employee may have gotten to the bottom of the rumors. Speaking with a Sony merchandising representative about the leaked photos, the rep was surprised the photos were “released already.”
The subject was quickly dismissed when the rep realized it was regarding the rumored PS3 Slim. For its part, Sony continues to deny the existence of a PS3 hardware redesign. If history repeats itself, however, the PS3 will get a slim version like the PlayStation 2 and the PSP.
We, of course, will only believe the rumors when we see the PS3 Slim with our own eyes. If Sony makes an announcement about it at E3, as some suspect, we’ll let you know.
