Obviously more people are pretty exciting by the soon to be released PS3, alot can't wait to pick one up. But I think the maybe something to think twice about. The Quality of the new system.

We all know one reason it's being released is to reduce the cost of the system for Sony, but how far have they taken it? Is it possible they sacrificed quality for cost? Well over at Engadget they got their hands on a PS3 Slim, and slim pickings it is. The box seems to be poorly packaged using as little as possible to make it by. I've becomed concerned that Sony may have taken the cost cutting a little too far, and quality has be sacrificed. I mean just look at the thing, it looks old, it looks like its from the PS2 generation.

That's the unboxing with plenty of pics.

Don't get me wrong, I am a Sony fan, and I do intend on getting a Slim regardless of the ugly design, but I will wait to see how the quality turns out. Just something for all you potential buyers to think about.

Live unboxing... packaging doesn't look old to me.
