I am sick and tired of reading all the crap about one of the worst kept secrets in recent memory.  The problem is that right now there is really not a whole lot of other videogame news out there (except for PS3 Porn) so this rumor stuff keeps filling up N4G, various searches, all my usual sites, and then some.<\/p>\n<p>Fanning the flames is this article from <a href=\"http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5334296\/whos-leaking-ps3-slim-info-now\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'http:\/\/kotaku.com\/5334296\/whos-leaking-ps3-slim-info-now', 'kotaku');\" target=\"new\">kotaku<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> Allegedly, the French, as a purported screen shot from retailer Micromania\u2019s product database shows the oft-rumored PlayStation 3 \u201cSlim\u201d redesign. If this listing is the real deal\u2014it\u2019s not reflected on Micromania\u2019s web site\u2014it would confirm a long-standing rumor.<\/p>\n<p>That shot, hosted by Total Manga and via NeoGAF\u2019s marathon thread of PS3 Slim speculation, could be easily faked. But the details are inline with recent chatter about the mythical console redesign\u2019s leaks. Micromania supposedly listed a September 1 arrival date and a \u20ac299 price point. That\u2019s cheaper than the current \u20ac399 model, which has been the target of retailer price drops over the past few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, previous leaks are just as much confirmation as this rumored listing. There was the Amazon.de product listing for the \u201cPS3 Konsole Slim,\u201d a listing which didn\u2019t last long before it was pulled.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don\u2019t fault kotaku for running this story.  As the writer said, this latest bit could have easily been faked.  I just wish someone get an \u201cofficial\u201d leak so we can all get back to something more productive.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I will be glad when Sony gets the PS3 Slim, price cut, relaunch, or whatever out of the way.
