Some images have surfaced that appear to be showing a new, slim version of the PlayStation 4. It's obviously much trimmer than the current version of Sony's eighth-generation platform. Considering there were slim versions of both the PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3, I'm willing to bet the farm that this leak may actually have some validity to it.

But for now, take all of this with a grain of salt. Until Sony makes some sort of an official announcement then this could all be smoke and mirrors...or someone who is very clever with Photoshop having a laugh at the expense of the interwebs. However, the pictures themselves are pretty darn convincing, but I'll leave the final determination in the very capable hands of, you, the reader.

Check out the images below. You can see the full gallery at the Italian gaming site, Multiplayer.
