Sexy Silver Slimline PlayStation 2 Europe Bound
Bigger is better? Lies! Look at this!
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe has shown a rather sexy colour upgrade to its slimmed-down PlayStation, announcing a silver model for European shores.
The unit is exactly the same as the existing micro-console in every way except colour. Which leads to the all-important question – if you were buying it for your dog, would it be able to tell the difference?
SPOnG polled 18 dogs this afternoon in Hyde Park, showing the side-by-side comparisons of the units and while the four terrier breeds struggled, the Labradors claimed to notice a distinct difference. “It’s all about looking at the refraction on the disc lid surface,” said Benji, 3.
So that’s all there is to report on this matter right now. Sony has included some of its trademark covetous console pornography to get your wallets watering in the run up to the machine's launch on May 13, 2005.

You think that is exciting? I was at Joystiq.com late last night the showed a picture of what is supposed to be the PS3. They claimed it was taken from Ourcolony.net but by the time I went to leave a comment it was removed from there website but luckly for me I saved the picture before it was removed. Here it is....

I can not say if it is 100% real or not but its looks like it is to me.

That looks real!!!!! What the **** firstly you say it's from ourcolony.net which immediately should send alarm bells ringing that its a fake. Why the hell would microsoft put anything on ourcolony that is Sony related???!
As for the image the s**tty render is crap, The CD slot isn't even moulded neatly let alone being real.
There are some really gullible people on the web, go to this site for revolution pics www.revolutionrealpics.net.

Bzzt! Incorrect!
T'was posted here in December of last year.
Plus, like yippyj said, it would not have been put up on ourcolony due to that site being run by MS!!

I just thought this was very interesting information. It may be fake but if its not that is one big slam against Sony.

Looks like a pewter version of the Indrema, the Linux console which turned into vaperware about 4 years ago.

I think its bloody unfair that you are already labelling this a "sexy machine" despite the fact that (to Me) it just looks like a normal boring DVD player. And yet the DS is butt ugly? I suppose silver looks sexy so long as it says "Sony" on it?

At last, a console with a disk tray that can kill!!...if this was real (prolly isn't) and knowing Sony, if you have a slight defect PS3 and you push the eject button...don't stand in front of the tray...

A. It's most likely fake, I doubt Sony's information security is quite as bad with spilling leaks as Microsoft is. ;)
B. That "PS3" looks like a lump of concrete. If you find it desirable, get your eyes tested. I can suggest a good optician.

Wow! I stand so corrected people might think my trousers are too tight. Wonder what MS's deal is here?

I think it is fake, especially since it's on ourcolony, the pic was around last year and nobody made a huge thing of it like the recent XBox360 pics.

Maybe ourcolony isn't owned by MS? What if it's by some independant company?
That thing is ooogleh. That's uglier than ugly. You can't say that Sony make pretty machines (you can't anyway, but that's beside the point), but that takes the mick. It looks like it was made from FIMO (that modelling clay kids made jewellery out of...)!
How anyone can say the 360 looks ugly after seeing that is beyond me...

The "/images/logos/" directory is where teams upload their own images as their team banner.
It's not official ourcolony merchandise.
