More rumors about the PS3 Slim that was in the Youtube video: http://www.examiner.com/x-12218-Providence-Video-Game-Examiner~y2009m7d12-PS3-Slim-video-and-new-image - The store supposedly had 2 PS3 Slim units. - The PS3 Slim units were NOT packed in boxes (they were sold 'as is', as shown in the video) - The PS3 Slim came with Playstation 3 accessories (cables) and 1 Dualshock 3 controller. - The store claimed they tested it with Unreal Tournament 3 - It has a 120 GB hard drive. - Both units have already been sold....rumors placed the price between PHP 12,000 ($250) to PHP 20,000+ (US$417) - We have some idea where this store is; yes, it is in Greenhills, San Juan.

According to this post from Kotaku (and this video from Youtube), the PS3 slim was spotted in the Philippines. http://kotaku.com/5317605/yes-i-know-about-the-damn-ps3-slim-video-[update ] The video: What do I think? I don't know if it's fake. I do find it sad that Kotaku takes every opportunity to portray our country as piracy heaven. I'd like to say that there are gamers here in the Philippines who do buy original products and original console games.

News flash! We spotted the PLAYSTATION 3 MAD CATZ STREET FIGHTER IV Standard Arcade Fightstick over in I-TECH (Mr. Dynamic) in Virra mall/V-Mall Greenhills! Price: PHP 7,290.00 Platform: PLAYSTATION 3 Number of items: 2 Fightsticks still in stock as of 12:00 NN today. A couple of other stores were also selling what appeared to be a Chinese-made 'Fighting Joystick' for prices ranging from PHP 1,800 (Rockfire) to PHP 2,500 (Gamezone, i think). There were other stores which had this cheaper fighting stick. We got to take a look inside the box and despite the stick not being the 'TOURNAMENT EDITION' stick that is usually featured on most tournaments internationally, it still has a high-quality feel to it that you won't find with most other arcade sticks. The build quality on it seems much better than my existing Hori EX2 stick for my Xbox 360. I couldn't afford the stick at this time; got bills to pay and all....so in the end I didn't buy it. I am sure that t...
