For those of you planning to pick up the new PS3 Slim console on September 1st, you might want to take a look at the first images of the official PS3 Slim Stand. Engadget have supplied the image for you to see, although its nothing too fancy.
You can view the image of the offical stand at Engadget here. Reports are suggesting that it will be launching alongside the Slim console for $24, which is unsurprising for Sony.
It means that many of you who were hoping for a stand under $20 from Sony, are better off waiting for a third-party company to bring out some cheaper ones. Because let’s face it here, $25 for just a piece of plastic is rather criminal wouldn’t you agree.

Really? You’re complaining that it’s not going to be under $20 but rather $24? So you’re too cheap to fork up a whole $5?
Then you’re seriously going on about Sony and their NOT ACTUALLY NEEDED peripherals? I’m pretty reassured that the slim’ll still play video the exact same way horizontal as it will vertical… While the 360 is doing more to lock up outside peripherals thus making it so you have to buy the “MS approved” ones. Gee, I wonder why that might be…
Then isn’t this interesting?

(I really wonder if MS reimbursed people that bought the failed addon used to play a failed disc format… I’m sure people don’t mind losing out the extra $99 they paid at launch though…)

But hey, I’m sure the $24 is A LOT when you take into consideration that you don’t actually need the stand for the PS3 to play Blu-Ray, music, browse the internet, built in WiFi, then free PSN service that includes online play, voice chat, and more that MS charges $50 a year to do on it’s system…
How about we go into the Wii next? See how Nintendo does?
