Here is what I think this means. PS3 Slimmer:

1) Slightly smaller outside design

2) The return of PS2 BC (as a show of needed customer service after the PSN outage)

3) Smaller chipset

4) Beefed up security (something that allows Sony to constantly monitor the system, as soon as something not authorized happens, they pull the plug and the system is dead. Or something along those lines)

5) Going from 512mb on just the GPU to 850mb, taking some pressure off of the Cell Processor so it can help focus more attention of security.

6) Improving the system to support up to 10 controllers (mainly to add more Move support to the system)

7) Price will stay the same, but I would look at a permanent bundle to launch for both models. Having one Move and PSEye packed in with Sorcery or just throw in Sports Champions or EyePet 2. The DualShock 3 will be packed in too of course.

8) The first shipment of (roughly) 500k to 1 million PS3 Slimmers will have a 1 month of PlayStation Plus free and a voucher for unlocking free stuff in Home. (this being an attempt to move the consumer base purely digital so they can track the accounts better and cause more damage to the illegal accounts than they can now)

(These are just my opinions and not anything that can be thought of as fact.)
