Rumour: Slim PS3 to hit stores as early as 2009 for £200/$300

[Impulsivity]

For those who don't understand the posibility of a Slim PS3 look at the macbook air. It is a full featured (well relatively) laptop that is less then an inch thick. How? A smaller processor, a smaller motherboard, less heat (and thus less fans) and efficient use of the space. It also fits a 2.5" HD in there, which if you've ever replaced the HD on a PS3, is rather tiny. If you can fit a full featured laptop into a manilla envelope you can certainly make a similarly sized console.
