My betters over at Gizmodo (He made me say that to get this story.) Has word of what may be a leaked picture of the Playstation 3. The image shows a robust device that is sort of the exact opposite of sleek. Actually, it looks an awful lot like one of those projectors you use during Power Point presentations.

Although it's probably a fake, mostly because it's way too fat to come from Sony, there are a lot of things about the image that makes me think it could be real.

First off, it has a lot of other images on the page, including one of the PSP and two other devices a don't recognize. One may be an LCD but I cant' tell what the third is, is does appear to have a camera latched to it's top. Joel says it is one of their phones. The small info box included has the following info:

Next Generation Playstation
CELL processor
Blu-ray disc
PS3 PSP UMD MediaMove
Plano-Black Design

I'm intrigued with the UMD reference. The device appears to have three slots, plus a place to stick UMDs. I'm guessing one for the Blu-ray, one for Memory Sticks and one for, what, your soul? The thing appears to be page 12 of an 18 page presentation. Very interesting. Check out Gizmodo much better shots of this bad boy.

Update: OK, so maybe not.
