PStwo on October 26th?

We first reported on the speculation about this a couple of weeks ago, now everyone is aflutter of the news that Sony is supposedly (big emphasis on the supposedly, ok?)
going to unveil a smaller version of the PS2 called the PStwo on October 26th (just like they did when they replaced the original PlayStation with the PSone). It'd be just in time for the big deal that is the holiday shopping season,
and the Hollywood Reporter (of all places) says that the PStwo will have the same retail price as the regular PS2 of
$149, but be 30% smaller. Sony, of course, has kept quiet about all this, but if the PStwo is for real then we bet it'll be next to impossible to keep pics of it from leaking out between now and October 26th. 39 days is a long time in our world.
