Sony will announce the PS3 Slim, a slimmer version of its PS3 console next week sources have confirmed to Pocket-lint.

Sources close to the product have told us that Kazuo "Kaz" Hirai head of Sony's console division will announce the new hardware version of the PS3 at it's Tuesday evening press conference at GamesCom in Cologne, Germany next week.

The console, which has been rumoured to be coming for some time, will land in shops in time for Christmas in both the UK and the US, and follow the company's history for creating slimmer versions of the console.

Sony has previously sold slimmer versions of the PSone and PS2 in the past.

The news is the latest in a long line of leaks that saw the PSP Go leaked ahead of its announcement at E3 earlier this year.

SOURCE

Some guy saying PS3 Slim has been confirmed to him does not count as Sony confirming PS3. Everyone knows it is coming, Sony can't keep a secret. Wait for the announcement.

Sony Confirms PS3 Slim, by a reliable source?   please....

Also try This Thread..

Pretty misleading title.

So it's a rumor that Sony will confirm the PS3 slim? Great, that was a good waste of my time...

Can't we stop all of these slim threads? Just have one thread for all of them

Misleading, *Sony* didn't confirm anything. Plus, I don't think anyone on this site actually needs Sony to confirm. Just give the details that are blurry.

I have No Idea What You Mean?

Ya that doesn't change anything, didn't someone say that Sony was going to annouce the Slim yesterday...

Misleading title, should be " 'RUMOR' Sony confirms the PS3 Slim "

we just release date now =).
