Who knows if the “leaked” images of the slim PS3 are real or not?They didn’t look very real to us. Or maybe it wasa different one. We keep hearing about a slim PS3. Regardless, someone doesn’t want us looking at them.
Someone called in the lawyer attack dogs (à laCall of Duty: World at War) and sent them to website Spong. Taiwan-based lawyers asked the site to remove images and a story named ‘New Slim PlayStation 3 Pix Torn Down,’ which they ran late last week. They were also asked to keep quiet on the request, which they did not.
Here’s an excerpt from the lawyer’s request:
As appointed by our client, we hereby inform you that the web pages on your website contain some of our client’s confidential documents and photos, which were highly possibly illegally released and posted.
…please immediately remove those pages and keep our request confidential.
If those images were fake, then why would someone sic lawyers on them to remove content? Remember that on the internet, anything could be fake. Even this letter.
[Update:Engadgetalso got one of these letters.]
