A New, Slim PS3?

Rumor has Sony announcing a slimmer PS3 at E3.

Given the economic hard times, it might seem unlikely, but the word is that Sony will unveil a slimline version of the PS3 at E3.

According to Playstation Lifestyle:

"When we caught wind of this, the exact word “redesign” was used, which leaves me to believe that it is indeed a PS3 slim. Announcing a different color wouldn’t exactly warrant the term “redesign”."

And why not? It certainly worked for them with the PS2, and it would go along very well with the supposedly near-certain announcement of a motion controller for the device.
