Hopefully with the slim they can issue a $50 price cut and still lose at most the same amount of money they are losing on the current model ($40?).

I think this is a fake announcement, but I think the Slim is real. The leaked PS3 slim packaging is identical to the packaging for the announced PSP Go. The leaked image was released a month before the Go was announced.

If that was the case then why not just a simple letter, why does it have to be a slapped together photoshop pic with the silly images?

Until SONY says it, it doesn't exist.

What Carl said

Somebody that can read French, could they please translate those images and post the translation. Interested to see what it actually says.

Because when you want to draw the attention of your clients about a special offer/new item, etc. you put images and catch phrases in big writing and flashy colors in a mail, it's way cheaper, easier and faster than a letter. ^^

@ Videogirl

There would be the same amount of information involved, they would end up typing the exact same thing in a letter, just without adding the pictures, backdrop, formatting and text styles. So how is it faster, easier and cheaper?

for sony it's other way around... if they  give a shit to deny it then it exist.

look at the PSP go.
