Sony's PlayStation 3 Slim stand gets pictured... all $24 of it

That's the all-new, not-yet-on-salePlayStation 3 Slim's stand. It works by laying flat on whatever surface you deem fit, and then it holds your new gaming console upright. We get the impression that it'll do its job fairly well, but the $24 retail price is borderline insulting. Or, it's just the motivation you needed to craft one on your...
