Jenni Lada brings us information about all of the groovy new gaming imports from around the world.
What initially started out as a pipe dream is starting to turn into something with a little more fidelity. A few weeks ago images of a slim downed PS3 console that came from a Chinese company were uncovered by Engadget. The site then received cease-and-desist letters from the company asking them to take down the images because they contained confidential information.
A source within Ars Technica and VG247 now say the PS3 slim is very real and will be on store shelves Fall 2009.
The source says the slim console won’t be announced at E3 2009 because Sony wants to sell the units that are currently on shelves. Once that supply starts to dwindle the company is expected announce the new slim model. This model also could also usher in a PS3 price cut if we assume that smaller yet just as powerful technology is present in the PS3 slim which will help cut down on development costs. Sony just may pass the savings on to the consumer.
Ars Technica’s source is reportedly the same person who broke stories on the Patapon 2 digital release, the Xbox 360 price cuts and different Xbox 360 bundles.
