I still think the Slim will release sometime in August but getting close now so could be September.
I also think $100 is still to rich. They might of managed to get the console production costs under the retail price but I doubt that when adding other activities related to the product they can consider that it makes a profit.
So based on that I think the slim will appear in August or possibly if I am wrong late September at the Tokyo Game show with possibly the announcment of an unexpected early showing of GT5and a price cut of $50.
I do not expect any of this to seriously affect the ltd sales unless they demonstrate sustained growth which to date they have not managed if fact they have a lot of catch up to do first.
