PS3 Slim in Production?

Apparently, Hon Hai Precision Industry Company Ltd. has been awarded a contract for a “hardware variation of the PlayStation3” and the report, according to IGN, states that “the new hardware will be a smaller, lighter version” of the system.

Not only that, but the report also says that the systems are supposed to start shipping in July. No official word from Sony on this, and if it is true, then Sony has very little time for an official announcement. Please take this with a grain of salt.

JimmyMagnum : I had the new look for about a week or so. Some of my friends didnt get theirs updated until today, and there is still a few that havent yet (like my bro). I use FB quite a bit lol
Tosh : But it has helped me find some old friends.
Tosh : I'm not a fan of the social networks at all myself..
Trieloth : Iam a lvl 22 and I needz to figure out when/how to build my village lol. I always up for quests.
fleakitten : @Trieloth I know what you mean. WKC is really addictive and I've just started building my villiage and creating new weapons like the Katana for my avatar. Let me know if you need any help w/quests. I'm lvl 20 right now.
