The rumor about the price cut is mine... based in what?
Well I know Sony was trying to die shrink the RSX and Cell to lower production process in 2013... the actual console uses these chips:
RSX: 40nm @ 114mm²
Cell: 45nm @ 115mm²
Sony roadmap shows they wanted to made a last die shrink in 2013 before to move to RSX + Cell SoC (it's a chip with both processor together).
And now I get that from Digital Foundry replying to Anand (AndandTech) in twitter:
@anandshimpi On a related note, the word is that there's a new super slim hardware revision with a 28nm RSX... 22nm Cell next year.

That means that the new PS3 Super Slim SKU launched at E3 is already using a RSX in 28nm ad the Cell will be shrink to 22nm in 2014.... after that finally the SoC RSX + Cell.
What that means for us? The PS Super Slim is cheaper than the previous one... so Sony can repasse this difference to us.
Price cut coming?
I guess so... and that's looks in line with the PS4 launch (everybody expect a price cut for PS3 before PS4 launch)... gamescon?
