PS3 Slim manufacturing contracts signed - report

Taiwanese website UDN is reporting that Sony has signed production contracts to begin manufacturing a new model 'PS3 Slim'.

Companies Foxconn and Pegatron are working towards delivery of the remodelled system for July, says the report, translated by Engadget.

Earlier this week, a report suggested that Sony will introduce a slim PlayStation 3 this August, along with price cuts on low-end hardware.

The PS3 Slim is expected to be a redesigned, smaller home console, with only marginal technical changes, similar to cosmetic changes made to the PlayStation 2 and the PSP Slim & Lite.

I´m looking forward to Sony´s actions the next few months.
The Slim, a pricecut (at least i hope there is one) and the return of BC - its smells a bit like exploding bombs.

I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

Why is everyone so happy about the PS3 slim? Are you going to go out and buy another PS3? I sure as heck am not buying another PS3.

I believe Foxconn makes all 3 game systems.

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

So its probably going to be a disc top-loaded like the other slim if they really want to cut cost.
