The rumour mill grinds again – and this time it’s milling (once again) over the oft rumoured PS3 Slim. Demonstrative of Sony’s inability to not leak information, word comes from the far east that two Taiwanese manufacturers have been granted licence to manufacture the brand new PS3-on-a-diet. The companies in question, Foxconn and Pegatron (Not a dastardly shape-shifting robot) are expected to start shipping out as early as this very month – with units expected to hit retail in August.
This fits in well with earlier rumours of an impending “price cut,†delivered via the cheaper to produce PS3 slim. Hopefully they’ll have also rumoured software-driven backwards compatibility.
