I would bet my last dollar on a slim version. Like others have said, they are going to implement smaller cell and graphics chip this fall, which means less electricity needed (smaller power supply) and less heat ommitted (smaller fans). Take out the power supply and make it external and there is less heat that the fans need to remove as well. They have already been using smaller blu ray drives and removed things to take a smaller loss on the system. So pretty much, they can probably easily do it when the graphics chip is 45 nm like the cell and would go great with the release of ff13 in Japan next year. Japanese homes aren't nearly as big as we have in the west and they are quite peculiar about these things.
