the reason we won't see any smaller versions is that shrinking the Cell is very expensive, a shrink of a highly complex chip like that probably costs several hundred million US$ if you factor in test-production and making up for initially decreased yields
with XDR ram PS3 has another architecture that pretty much isn't used anywhere and hence also didn't receive any shrinks > doesn't get cheaper to produce
I doubt Sony has anything like that in the works to release a redesigned/less expensive PS3, they probably rather increase their PSNow catalogue/capabilities
