more new PS3 shots

Yes! Here we have the worlds first shot of an assembled new PS3 slim and lite (despite the laywers demanding the earlier pic's be removed from other websites). The first thing we noticed after our insider, who uses the local takeaway as a cover, dropped the box containing the new spec' console round is just how much smaller and lighter it is than the previous versions, must be down to the 10nm chipsets and NASA developed ceramic coolant paste on the main processor. It definitely looks Sony designed and the 'PS' logo has been moved to what was the memory card cover on the old 60Gb model. Another feature that has been removed, obviously to keep costs down, was the actual Blu-Ray drive itself, whether this points to being a stand alone download only model or maybe the option to purchase an external BR drive later remains to be seen, but with Sony pushing for a digital download future of it's movie and music services it's only natural that games should be a part of it too. Also worth noting is that Sony has trademarked 'PS3Cloud' could this new console be part of that plan? A micro terminal with all the processing being done back at SCEE's evil fortress of dhoom? We all know that is the future of video games. The new slim and lite PS3 can still run external hard drives and as you can see in the photo can pair happily with other blue-tooth enabled devices. Sony has yet to officially deny the photos are actually the new PS3 but with E3 only a couple of short weeks away we won't have long to wait and see what they have to announce.

What do you think of the photo, is this for real? What's the news any of the big 3 are going to drop that makes us rethink our entire gaming life at E3? Do any of us really care?
