What's up with my launch PS3 - no system text???

[thejokell]

So I recently bought a slim PS3 to replace my original 60 gig. I took some pics of the old PS3 so I could sell it online, and I noticed something odd. Check out this photo:

There is no "PLAYSTATION 3" text on the top of the console! I bought it new from Gamestop back in 2007 when they were phasing these units out in favor of the 80 gig with the software BC.

Any idea what could be going on here? Do I just happen to have a rare unit?

Haha. That's pretty cool, man. If you want to trade plastic shells, I'll swap you for the Spiderman font, any day.

manufacturing mistake? maybe its worth more that way, sorta like those double-sided Lincoln pennies lol.

That is a treasure freind.

Actually looks better without it, but damn, that's a rare item indeed.
