PS3 Slim contracts signed - report

Taiwanese site UDN claims Sony has signed production contracts to begin manufacturing the PS3 Slim.

Companies Foxconn and Pegatron are working towards delivery in July, says UDN (translated by Engadget).

This coincides with reports that Sony will launch the PS3 Slim this autumn, after first cutting the price of the existing PS3 and limiting the 80GB model to clear space at retail.

Sony has consistently declined to comment on the reports.
