We haven’t heard much about the PS3 slim since E3, but that doesn’t mean it’s been entirely quiet out there — the hot rumor today is that Sony’s signed manufacturing agreements with both Foxconn and Pegatron to build the revised model in time for July delivery. That much we believe, since it’s been backed up by a couple different credible reports, but here’s where it gets totally insane: there’s a suggestion that the slim will be the last PS3 model of this generation, and that a next-gen console based on Sony’s motion controller is due in spring 2010. We don’t buy that at all, since the PS3 is just entering its prime and Sony was clear that the motion controller was for the existing console, so we think this rumor is getting garbled down the wire — it’s far more likely that the slim is being prepped for an August launch to coincide with those rumored price cuts, and that new PS3 bundles that include the motion controller are set to drop next year. That’s just our take on the matter, though — we’ll see how things shake out.

It’s not a dual-band router, but it looks like ASUS has just about all the other bases covered with its new RT-N16 model. Apparently “engineered for the future” (too bad, present), this one naturally packs full 802.11n capabilities, along with a “powerful CPU” and 128MB of memory to help it eek out every last bit of bandwidth, and both four LAN ports and a pair of USB ports to accomodate your non-wireless devices. Otherwise, you can expect to get ASUS’ own EZ UI, which promises quick and easy setups and customization, and all the the usual basic security measures you’d expect, including support for WPS. No word on a price just yet, but it looks like this one should be rolling out soon, if it hasn’t hit stores already.
