Will the PS3 40 GB model have a smaller size?

I think this will be the case, or will be the case in the near future. Getting rid of all the PS2 related chips as well as the extra USB ports etc, should make the motherboard half the size. Also, isn't there some mention of them developing the RSX chip to have integrated EE emulation?

I think this would be a super smart move. A nice slimline PS3. It' could easily be 2/3rds of the size. Also there is the different in currents for the IO ports, Wifi etc as well.
