Sony Producing New PS3 Hardware, Slim Appears Likely

The Opposable Thumbs blog reports on a confluence of rumors and information leaks that suggest Sony will be unveiling a PS3 Slim sooner rather than later. Despite waning console sales, orders for PS3-related hardware have risen sharply. There's evidence to suggest that Sony is phasing out its 80GB model, which would help clear the way for a hardware revision. Some expect the official announcement to come as early as August 18th, during the gamescom expo in Germany.

    Yeah, after a bit more research I found that out. I vaguely remembered hearing a rumor and the Google results seemed to be trending that way, so I added it to the list. My bad.

    There is a $30 accessory that will add Playstation 2 support to any console. A Playstation 2.

    Are you implying that the PS3 has games?
