Eurogamer post news that the PlayStation Phone is fake, little over two hours after they posted a whole fucking gallery of photos of the thing

[Text-only cache links for this one, I’m afraid - the full-fat version doesn’t seem to be loading.]

At 12:49am PST this morning, Eurogamer posted a comprehensive gallery of every PlayStation Phone photograph known to exist and a news post touting the specs of the device (where they also refer to the source as “Endgadget”, snarf snarf). Now they’re reporting that it’s a fake.

It’s been a fair while since I saw a gaming site make such a piss-poor effort of hiding its erection ~~less~~ slightly more than two hours before the rumour is seemingly debunked. That’s a rookie mistake. Gosh, you… you hate to see it.
