PS3 Slim Teaming up with Madden This August
According to 1up’s David Ellis, the PS3 Slim is coming this August, and there will be some sort of tie in with Madden NFL 10 which releases August 14th.
Ellis says in the latest Listen UP Podcast:
“It’s gonna be in August. Everything I’ve heard says it’s coming in August, it’s tied with Madden.”
He also goes on to speculate that Activision’s recent threat, was partly the result of Sony choosing to bundle with an EA game instead of an Activision game.
If we are looking at a August release date as 1up is stating, then expect the PS3 slim to be announced at this year’s GDC Europe/Gamecom in Cologne, Germany. Sony is holding a 3 hour press conference there, on August 18th which would be a prime venue for that time of an announcement.

I would not be surprised since they released/announced the 80gb bundle last year at E3 late July and shipped them in early September.

Yeah, I think GamesCom is the perfect arena to announce the Slim.

Do you realize that these rumors have been going on for well over 3 months now? I would think with all the sites including this one stirring the pot that someone (good reporter, need help??) would get the straight up skinny on this. Doesn’t someone have a legit contact that will provide ($$) good concrete information? At this point I’m just beyond curious. Seriously we are not talking about a new top secret weapons system … were talking about a piece of game hardware. Let’s combine all resources and get an accurate answer on this, this week.
Had to get that off my chest.

I hate madden, keep that lame ass game and drop the price more.

It would be nice especially with a $300 price tag. It would be a really great value for people who wants a ps3. I really love my ps3. My cousins go here everyday because their 360 broke last week. I just don’t have the time to ship for repairs thats why i chose the ps3 and it was worth it. Hope everyone would see the value.
