It appears the purported PS3 Slim is inching closer from mere speculation to a real tangible item, as the product pages of Amazon Germany now contain a listing for “PlayStation 3 Konsole slim.”

Aside from the product ID number “B002JM1GPU” that turns up no noteworthy results other than this listing, no further details are available. Is this an actual slip-up or was someone at Amazon bored on the job? It’s impossible to tell at the moment, but this certainly adds weight to widely circulated rumors that suggest a slimmed-down version of the PS3 is due out by the end of this year, possibly as soon as fall.

Thanks Chathurga for the tip!
