I understand why Kotaku has to maintain some skepticism, but this looks legit to me. Who knows really? If we don't hear anything by E3, we'll know it's fake.

design doesn't look as refined as the foreman grill. could be a chinese knockoff system, but then there's the pretty convincing box. if it's legit, i'll miss the fingerprint-magnet piano black finish.
btw, ran into a ps3 in the wild saturday, by its lonesome on a sale table. i'd always seen them before in a display case or in a box, so i was struck my how friggin big it is sitting by itself.
Could be, but look how cheap this plastic looks here.

It does look like a sub-standard system case. It could very well be a knockoff. If it is a knockoff though, what guts will it have? Could this be the first DVD based clone system that conveniently leaves off disc protection? If I were Sony, I would worry about this more than people modding PSP's and PS2's. Anyone and their brother could buy this thing and pirate right out of the box. Bad news.
Wherever politics tries to be redemptive, it is promising too much. Where it wishes to do the work of God, it becomes not divine, but demonic.

Or it could be a prototype, meaning the casing isn't final or polished. :P
why would they put the logo on the bottom of the console? It reminds me of a knockoff more than anything...
I like the current system though it is a beast. A slimmer/lighter version that is cheaper to buy (hopefully) would be excellent. A matt finish might be cool to
I believe the Xbox had it on the sticker.
This... well, it's uglier than the current PS3. As for it being a bootleg, the new lettering looks funny and I've always wondered why bootleggers didn't outright copy the official packaging. Not like it's less illegal that way. Assuming it's some knockoff crap, don't count on it playing PS3 games. Or PS1 or Sega CD. Probably get some game disc packed with it or not use discs but opt for built-in stuff.
And has the technology advanced enough yet to allow a smaller redesign?
Gads! I hope that's fake. It's not only cheap looking but uglier than the Foreman Grill design.
I miss the old PS2 Font. I think the new Spiderman font is kind of dumb looking.
DERP
assuming this is real (which i highly doubt) i could definitely see sony coming out with a slimmer cost cutting ps3 to offset the rumored price drop, sony has pulled dumber shit than this in the past so i wouldnt put it past them, i dont think this is a final finish as mentioned by other posters, but a matte finish would be fuckin sexy tho
....still think its fake tho
I'm pretty sure it's a knock off. Sony definitely has plans for a smaller cheaper system but who knows when that will happen.

Sony officially states: "we don't know anything about that system in the photos", so says CAV

I suspect piracy groups are getting ballsier, hence the more accurate box with actual branding. I wonder how many people will honestly believe the street vendors are selling legit PS3s for $50?
Though I have always wondered why these things even have electronic parts. Like those fake iPods and such. Bootleggers could sell empty plastic shells all the same, if you're going to rip people off.
