Maybe, maybe not. At this point, this ad cannot be officially deemed as genuine. It could very well be a 'shop shot'.

It'd be funny if all the videos and images of the ugly "fake" slim were real.

Yep, i mean it's not like games lower in price over time, ohh wait they do :D.

How on earth is games getting lower in price a slap in the face to those who already have them?, i payed full price for LBP yet i can now find it for 10 pounds, it doesn't bother me at all.

This looks kinda legit to me though BUT i won't hold my breath until it's official, if it is legit though i'll be mighty annoyed about the BC on it if they don't get that on all consoles via the 3.0 update.

Kinda legit? I could believe an 80gb slim system for $299, but 160gb? Not likely.

And LBP, Bioshock etc. be lowered to $9.99? Not too sure about that at all, but we'll see.

It's totally photoshopped, I know Best Buy's ad layouts and they do not use perspective text where it gets smaller to bigger from side to side. On top of that, they don't set price points at $299.98. It's always .99 at the end of a price tag. I know that the slim is probably coming, but not in this ad.

I would believe it, I mean they made a PS2 slim.

I would buy one if I could put my current HDD from my PS3 into it, and have it work:)

It dosnt look %100 legit, especially those $10 games.

But if this is real, then hura!!! Ill be waiting a month or so to make sure the new slim design dosnt have any issues and then ill be picking up a PS3 :) glad to see its black :)

hum...they named it "slim"?

azzezino

PlayStation 2 Two was a mistake, so why would they call the next one the PlayStation 3 Two?

I dont know what youre looking at but to me, it looks the same as our current ps3's just not as wide. Or as its vertical in this case 'tall'. Its a low quality image, thats why it doesnt look slick.

Not likely but, imagine if this were real (I personally don't think it is) I think the PS3 would be flying off shelves. I mean literally flying! LOL.

Well, I wouldn't really use the $9.99 thing as a claim against the legitimacy of this, as they've had $10 sales on greatest hits games before. For all we know, alongside news of the slim will be Uncharted unveiled as a greatest hit. Bioshocks been at the greatest hit price point for quite a while now. Doesn't seem overly far fetched to me.

Wow can't believe people think this is real. It's just a decent photoshop job. Why would they drop the prices of those games to $9.99? Come on.

Well Best Buy is no stranger to droping prices of games well below its actual value but u can also consider Best Buy making this suppose slim even more Appealing. Didnt MGS4 and Killzone 2 come with a PS3?

Yeah that may be true and all, but seriously...$9.99 games like MGS4 and LBP? I don't think so. Those games are far from bin games yet, so I don't see that happening anytime soon.

If it was true, it would be because the games would be on sale, not because they belong to the bargain bin.

also MGS4 is already $30 and they could be just clearing out shelf space and also LBP is almost 1 yr old

The games only being 10 bucks is a give away it's fake although!! it could be that it's saying buy the ps3 slim and get one of these games for just 10 dollars.

Seriously that is one lame mock-up. Whats with the .98??? No body does that except Walmart, everywhere its always been .99 why have a mock-up and put .98? It makes no sense.

wow... you must know everything then, if you know that best buy will never sell an item for .98 and never use perspective text.... seriously, you know nothing. stop trying to sound like an insider.

It would look a lot better IMO if the "PS3" logo was in the middle, and if they used a glossy finish like the the fat Ps3, instead of matte
