Gamer Limit writes "With so many recent rumors flying around the internet about Sony announcing the PS3 Slim at next week"s Cologne Gamescom, it"s hard not to sit up and pay attention. According to a deluge of "industry insiders", the new compact system will finally usher in the oh-so-important price cut that everyone has been screaming for.

The general consensus seems to be that a lower price point is exactly what Sony needs to reinvigorate the system and bring in more sales, but I think these people are missing the big picture."
