Different story...

The document looks pretty fake, and why would a Law firm that deals in Immigration law be contacting you about Trade secret infringements?

Wrong set of lawyers, mate.

You seriously think Sony would employ these to cover up anything about a PS3?


Nope - and we didn't say that... I reckon it's the Fab in China or Taiwan.

Spong, rest easy!


We currently are - aside from me, I've been in and out of the lav' all day with some stomach bug. I like to share info.

No I completely agree with you, the second these pictures hit the public domain they became public, LevelUp placed them up, as far as it seems they would be the first.

Spong has done nothing wrong, but wish them good luck either ways, these things can always turn sour very easily.


Cheers guys! YOu might also like to see: http://news.spong.com/article/17950/PS3_Slim_-_More_Pix_from_Torn_Site

A different story entirely from the same day.

PS: anybody got a good cure for stomach-wrenching nightmare bugs?

@frog

Aye, but is it Sony who is behind it?

This will all be pretty interesting to see now, previously I would have thought nothing of it because that unit looks really shoddy, lol

It will be interesting to see what happens with this thing, or if it falls completely silent

But to be honest Spong did do something silly though, did you notice the "keep our request confidential", lol. Don't think there is any rule against actually doing that though, its more of a request than an order, no real Law to prevent it.

the right way to address a rumour is the engage us and outlets, not get all legal on our asses


Absolutely. This is one reason I'm sure that Sony isn't in this particular loop. They would most certainly have simply let the tale die or issued a "It's simply rumour and speculation".

whatever happened to the "relations" bit of pr?


Still bubbling away. In fact, according to a recent 'debate' PR and journalists are all just the same, but different sides of the same coin. Ahhh, lovely.

Me arse.

Oh yeah, that sounds like it's really written by a real lawyer. "which were highly possibly illegally released". Who wrote that line, a 5 year old? It's not even proper english.

@lol Oo! Oo! I can deflect that one! English isn't the issuing lawyer's mother tongue.

If its legit, sounds like someone is worried.

We could do with a PS3 Slim, I'd perhaps buy one then.

I think it's silly to assume the latter to be false just because some hired a lawyer it's perfectly reasonable to assume that a company which was producing knockoffs panicked and tried to hush you before this got Sony's full attention.

It's pretty simple isn't it? This is a cheap knock-off product (trust me these things are all over SE and E Asia--I remember seeing a "Super PolyStation 2" that looked just like a PS2 until you realised that you had to 'pop' the hood and play cartridge games). These guys are probably trying to quash the media frenzy lest they suffer the wrath of Sony's lawyers.

I mean, I find it really unlikely that this is the PS3 Slim.
