UK broadsheet The Telegraph is rumouring that the slim-line SKU is to be announced at the Cologne show later this month – and is as bold as to detail some of the console's specifics.

The PS3 Slim, according to the report, is to come in 40 GB and 80 GB flavours, with a price point starting at around 260 GBP (which translates as 440 USD at the current exchange rate – though with the unique exchange system employed by the videogame industry, expect it to come in well below that figure if The Telegraph's musings are true).

That would mean that the new system would undercut the existing PS3 model, which currently carries a 299.99 GBP price tag.

The Telegraph cites the ramping up of production of PlayStation components in the Far East as potential evidence for the new console. If you're sick of all the PS3 Slim rumours, you'd be well advised to stick your fingers in your ears and keep them there for the next two weeks.

I hear rumor of 120/250 GB versions instead of 40/80 GB. I have no clue which one is right.
 
That still is a lot of money for a lot of gamers to spend. But, I'm glad the PS3 is having a price cut from 499.
