Forums - Sony Discussion - Report : ( PS3 Slim Is Real ) Won't Be At E3

I also doubt Sony would announce this at E3. "Hey everybody! A slimmer cheaper PS3 is coming out so make sure you don't buy a PS3 for a few months!" Yeah right.



Around the Network

Something just clicked to me which should've long time ago since I work with attorneys; A Cease and Desist can only be sent if and I quote

"A cease-and-desist letter is a letter demanding that the recipient refrain from a certain behavior or face legal action. Some types of behaviors that may prompt such letters include:[citation needed]

Harassment by telephone by a collection agency or junk debt buyers
Stalking or other forms of harassment
Property, neighborhood, and boundary disputes
Patent infringement, copyright infringement or trademark infringement
Libel or slander"

In this so called rumor that the source would get the letter of Cease and Desist, charges against them are slim to none, specially since the countries involved have free speech of some sort.. However, being not familiar with Japanese / Taiwanese law I could be wrong. Could any elaborate on the possibility of this being true according to international laws?



What are you looking at, nerd?

Actually, we probably won't know in a week if the rumor is true.  We'd know if it was wrong, only if they do announce a slim model.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Yeah... I was thinking of the PSP Go! rumour that is often lumped in with this. We will know more if we see PS3 stocks dry up over July/August

If these are internal production photos, than that would be copyright infringement.  If they were smuggled photos, then that couild be a risk of patent infringement (patenting production methods, packaging, etc for an unreleased product.


It's not a free society when you can't run a business due to information being published illegally or proect your secrets.

@Slime

Doesn't seem that much bigger than the original PS2, I think they'll be able to get it down to something that could be called slim if the transition from fat to slim PS2 is a fair comparison.

 

 

 

Hey now...that's my setup! lol

Not so much my friend. Copyright Infringement only applies if the product itself is being copied and distributed illegally. For example, the most common copyright violation is hosting and sharing illegal MP3s. Although you're right that if they were production photos there's some room for legal action, the photos themselves would need to show parts of the item being photocopied and its funtionality, art boxes such as the PS3 one only hold copyright if the logo is being stamped in a PS3 ripped-off machine (you know, cheap imitations.)

With regards to patent infringment, I will have to read more on it for I'm not quite certain how it would apply to this picture but I know that this type of violation does involve using or selling a patented invention but I'm not sure how this would involve the picture.

Okay, you are over one week late with this news.

Yes, I know, but then we got the Sony PR saying there are no plans for a Slim PS3 shortly after.

And now we have reliable sources saying Sony is making one..

And emphasizing my point that you don't say you have something better coming out soon, until you sell more of the old.

a slim version will put the ps3 at 399$ on profits.

they will likely cut the price in september - november where is more deadly.
