Earlier this week GameWave, a Hong Kong based weekly magazine, revealed the first photos of the PS3 Slim in their latest issue. Although the photos are unconfirmed, they look pretty convincing especially compared to the leaked photos a few months ago.

Earlier today we received an email from Sony with instructions on how to enter the MAG Beta. The email contained a unique access code and a link to a website where you can register. The catch? You have to answer a few questions and tell Sony why you should be chosen for the Beta. Beta invites will be sent out in phases – but you only need to answer the questions once to be eligible for all phases.
GameWave, a weekly games magazine in Hong Kong, has features the PlayStation 3 Slim as cover story (click thumbnail to enlarge). The text near the PS3 Slim image reads something to the effect of “Slim PS3 appears at the end of the month.” The magazine seems pretty confident about publishing this story in their weekly mag, but we can’t vouch for the creditability of GameWave.

Angela Madronero, European PlayStation Store Manager, has stated that more information on PSN Cards will be revealed ‘in the not too distant future’.
