The new ultra-slim PS3 4000 series has been in and out of headlines recently, but apparently it won’t<\/em> be making any kind of appearance at Gamescom in August, as was previously assumed.<\/p>\n

That’s according to new information via VG247’s industry flies-on-walls, who are also buzzing that the rumoured 16GB model with built-in flash memory and top-loading optical drive is a – bzzzbzzzbzzz – real thing, probably intended to go up against Microsoft’s cheap 4GB Xbox SKU.<\/p>\n

The new PS3 was allegedly supposed to be shown at Gamescom, but high stock levels of current models have put that on hold.<\/p>\n

Whenever the official announcement is made, it reportedly “may” also be accompanied by a significant price cut, although no actual numbers are being listed for now. This is probably going to be the final iteration of Sony’s current generation console until a new one is launched, although when that’s going to happen is anybody’s guess. My Magic 8-Ball says “UNLIKELY”, but it might not have understood the question properly.<\/p>\n

In the meantime then, here’s a leaked photo of the late Steve Jobs with the new PS3 that’s totally legit. I say “leaked”, but I might actually mean “Photoshopped because I have too much time on my hands”. Might<\/em>.<\/p>\n
