Another rumor pointing towards a possible PS3 Slim release this August has surfaced and may be one more bit of evidence that the new console does in fact exist.

Sony has reportedly placed a manufacturing order with two Taiwanese companies to build the PS3 Slim and they are expected to be shipping in early July. This gives more credibility to the rumors floating around that point towards a release in August or September.

There has been no official word from Sony about the story yet but this is just one more story of many that says this model is going to be a reality. The other major rumor floating around is that Sony will finally announce a price cut to coincide with the new slim model. We'll just have to wait and see how this all pans out in August or just wait a little while and the whole story will be leaked anyway.
