New PS2 Slim?

I've been wanting to get another PS2 for months now, unfortunately mine broke. But I decided to wait a while and not buy another straight away after hearing about the new slimline supposed to come out in Europe early 08. Is this still coming? I haven't seen any news on it for a while. After hearing it was cheaper and more efficient I wanted one, so after waiting all this time, is there a definitive date for it yet?

Any help is appreciated.

"...there will be 160 new titles released for the PS2 in the next five months."

:D

Expect a new PS2 model to hit the US in 2008. Expect it to cost $99, and expect it to sell like hotcakes. That's the news coming out of British trade site MCV, who are also saying the new "compact" model will be internally-powered (ie no external power brick), allowing Sony to cut manufacturing costs and thus save a bit of cash. It would also allow the console to use up to 25% less power. Wonderful! Oh, before you go, bear in mind that while MCV aren't normally the types to grind grain in the rumour mill, this is unconfirmed by Sony.

I got this from some google result when searching for this PS2 "rumor".
