Joystiq reports that two Taiwanese manufacturing companies, Foxconn and Pegatron, who already enjoy contracts to make the current PS3 have signed off deals to begin producing the new version.

Furthermore, the site claims that the process is well underway with the first shipments leaving the warehouse later this month in preparation for a ‘summer’ rollout. Sources have previously pointed to an August or September release.

Basically it seems something has been confirmed and they are just waiting for the price release date and specifictation. Also reports suggesting that two taiwenses manufacturing companies have began to produce to new versions falls in line with the sneak preview of the PS3 slim.

"We are still awaiting confirmation on price, final release date and the exact specification of this product."

To me that quote tells me that they have been given some sort of notice that a PS3 slim is coming soon, but, they are just unsure as to when the exact date.



O yea, the date of release is obviously just there as a guide at the moment.



The case on that picture is nothing like the 'cases' we've seen before in other PS3 slim stories. And none of them looked the same as each other. Another case of wishful thinking I'm afraid.

Like the date, a placeholder.

Yeah as FootballFan said it's a placeholder.

I saw those same pics on the cover of some gadget mag (T3 mag, I think) about two years ago.

Interesting article though, watch this space I guess...

It is inevitable, but a shame Sony can't keep these leaks away, the 1st September release also seems quite likely, it has been in other rumours



I think i deserve a pay raise with a contribution like this
