My sister-in-law's boyfriend bought a PS3 around launch time when it was around $650 CDN and when he found out the Slim was coming out he really wanted to buy it, even though he really wanted a 360 too. I was like "you already have a PS3, why don't you just buy a new Elite with Halo 3 and the wireless adaptor for $30 more?" His excuse: only having 2 HDMI ports on his TV (one for the PVR, one for the PS3)...

Anyways, I don't doubt that quite a few existing owners are buying slims (for whatever reason), but the bulk of the spike is likely due to all the people who have been holding off waiting for the price to drop since it's been rumoured for months now.
