PS3 Slim 'in production'

Sony has allegedly contracted two manufacturers to start producing slim PlayStation 3 consoles.

Based in Taiwan, the two companies will produce the slim console for a July delivery date, according to Kotaku.

The news coincides with reports from Ars Technica that Sony will cut the price of existing PS3 units to make way for a slim console in the autumn.

Sony is renowned for reducing the size of its machines, with the PSone, PS2 and PSP all receiving slim versions several years after launch.

great news ive got a 60gb model one of the 1st out, a smaller version would be great think the psu will be seperate tho dont think Sony have said anything yet
