Playstation 3 Hardware \ Slim PS3 on the way - 2008

It hasn’t even launched in Europe yet, but Sony’s already working on the next generation of PlayStation 3.

The games giant reckons it can cut the size of its console’s innards, paving the way for a redesign on the outside.

In a statement from its Japanese press office, Sony said it expected the transition to 45-nm chips would happen in 2008, or early 2009. That change will halve the size of current 90-nm chips and could mean a slimline PS3 is in the works already.

It’s still a way off, but Sony wouldn’t surprise anyone with a smaller console. After all, the PS2 underwent drastic shrinkage once smaller chips were available, and the PS3’s bulky frame could certainly stand to lose a pound or two.

I have to agree with Kirbstar there it could be delayed unless the PS3 can get good sales.

I think they might bring it out in hope of boosting sales, regardless of how much they have sold.

Plus they would be cheaper for sony to make.

I think it's just a made up picture, to show the fact that a slimmer one would be on its' way... Still interested to see how long it'll take 'em to do one... Any further info RE this as well as Pics will be eventually posted up here! I'm keeping a keen eye on all related news...
