It's going to take Sony awhile to be able to get the temp down low enough to offer slim PS3s. IBM's Power6 architecture is white-hot and the process will have to get down to 32nm before they can even consider slimming down that heat-box.

So, consider it EXTREMELY unlikely that we'll see a PS3 Slim within the next 20 months. 32nm is still a ways away (at least for IBM architecture).

Of course, the same principle applies to the 360. It is also based on Power6.

It's going to be late 2009 before we'll see 32nm chips on the 360.
