:( Thats all I can say!

Someone will find the PS3 slim in a weight watchers class at the rate we are going! So does that mean that the slim from the Philipines which looks like the above is a fake?!

Please, someone comfort me. Tell me everything is going to be alright and that 14 pages of reading have not been wasted and all that jazz.
 
Are you being sarcastic? The one from the Philippines didn't look like that. The one above just looks like a cheap knock off, the one in the Philippines looked like the one in the leaked photos.

EAST FISHKILL - IBM East Fishkill workers were called to an all-hands-on staff meeting Thursday evening where they were told more work is coming their way.
Employees were told work will come to the Systems and Technology Group from Nintendo, Freescale and Sony.
IBM employs more than 9,000 at East Fishkill, Poughkeepsie and Sterling Forest. Managers told employees they did not anticipate hiring additional workers.
IBM officials could not be reached for comment.

Does the link above mean that the next generation console hardware development is just starting to ramp up?
 
They make all sorts of different chips there as far as I know, even non IBM products. It is the Cell SOI fab though. Didn't Sony invest quite a heavy sum in updating the plant for the Cell line?
 
Fishkill makes 45nm SOI Cell:

IBM introduced the 45nm version of the Cell B.E. processor at ISSCC earlier this week, fabbed on IBM's 45nm SOI line at East Fishkill and targeted primarily towards future revisions of the Playstation 3 gaming console and Cell blade servers.

Sony and Toshiba were readying 45nm for 2009 production:

In a bid to lower the cost of its Cell processor that powers Sony PlayStation 3 video game system, Sony Corp. plans to utilize version of the chip that is produced using 45nm process technology by Toshiba Corp.

...

Potentially, low power Cell processor may enable Sony to create a slimmer and smaller PlayStation 3 game system that will also be cheaper to produce. According to Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun news-paper, 45nm Cell will be available already in 2009.

I don't own a PS3, but I'm curious about just how big is the system.
