British electronics site Pocket-Lint reports today that its "sources" have
confirmed that the slim PS3 is a reality and that Sony will announce it next
week. Specifically, it will be officially announced by SCEI chief Kaz Hirai during
the press conference that will be held next Tuesday evening (Europe time) at
the GamesCom gaming conference in Cologne, Germany.
The note contains no information on product details or pricing, but we
previously reported that a French source had revealed the slim PS3 would be
100 euros cheaper than the current one (see
here).
