Rumors of a slim PS3

[CHIPP Damage]

If you do a search on google.com for "slim PS3" you'll get this:

All of the first 5 pages are talking about a rumor that "seems" to be true about a slim model of the PS3 being produced during the month of July　among a couple of other rumors. I don't really know what to make of it because it seems strange to me that they would just make them all without announcing it first.

What do you think?
I personally would be happy if it were true and this new model included some improvements other than its size. Especially since it's FINALLY NEARING THE DAY THAT I BUY A NEW CONSOLE.

(Composes oneself) Sorry, I got overly excited there for a sec.

If they include backwards compatibility with it, I'll buy one for sure. My PS2 just died, so that would work out well.

If they don't include it, well... then it's more of a maybe for me. Smaller is definitely better though. Hopefully it's cooler and quieter too.

Been waiting to get a PS3 for a while now, so if this one comes with cool new features, but more importantly, a price drop, then I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

For some reason I don't think it would have a price drop, but oh well.

Its the cycle of life for all Playstation products: Give birth to something ugly and then it will reincarnate into something beautiful. Sigh.
