The rumor of a new slim Sony PS3 console got warmed up again this week. Yesterday Joystiq featured a rumor report that appeared on Chinese UDN. The report said that Foxconn and Pegatron landed the manufacturing deal for the slim Sony PS3.
Today, according to Digitimes, Foxconn issued a statement declining to comment on a Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) report indicating that it has landed OEM orders for a slim Sony PS3. Actually feeling the need to issue a no-comment on a rumor is raising eyebrows, at least mine.
This whole slim Sony PS3 rumor doesn't really excite me actually. Do you want a slim Sony PS3? Don't we just want a cheaper PS3? Sony, cutting the price of the current PS3 by $150 would be just enough action to bring fresh energy into the console market.
