Ultra Slim PlayStation 3 Prototype Console

So I am sure by now those who monitor the eBay's will have noticed these units.
I thought I would just make a thread showing one in a little more detail for those who may not have seen them.

 

Looks awesome! Glad its in good hands.

 

From the back picture, it seems they used the normal slim as the base and then added the top loading drive.

 

do they run anything special or are they retail units ?

 

Hmmm comparing the backs of this unit with a ultra slim seemed to line up more than a normal slim... Maybe I am missing something? The vent is identical I know that much.

Its running dev software, probably should have included that in the images.

 

if you dont mind me asking how much did you pay for such a unit ?

 

Looking closely i guess you're right. My mistake.

 

Seller was asking 200 each managed to get mine for about 150. I am sure others may have been able to get theirs cheaper.

No worries, was merely just pointing out my observations as were you.

 

Wow. I know where you got those from. Did you buy them all?

 

Nope I only bought the one unit.

 

They sold the others

 

I noticed he had 2 available maybe 1 or 2 days ago? But then he took it down I believe or someone bought the last 2.

 

Wow. Nice find. I know that place. But I didn't know they had these.

 

You wouldn't consider trading a prototype Xbox 360 console for it, would you?

 

Damn it didn't show up in my search, otherwise I would have been on that

 

mind opening it up?
Looks nicer than the super slim IMHO

 

Sweet find thanks for the photos

 

If anyone has pics of how the power button was please do post.

 

A friend and I each ordered the last 2 the seller had.

I don't think anyone else mentioned it but the model number is DEH-ML00AK-G

 

I'm glad I know who the first buyer was. Dont worry the other 2 are in good hands as well.

And like the others are saying - the insides; we want to see them lol.
