PS3 circuit boards to be manufactured in July

Sony has ordered circuit boards for the upcoming console from a Taiwanese company called COMPEQ. The company has not released any information on when production will start, but a source says that production will start in June or July - which reinforces the rumors of a PS3 release date towards the end of the year.

It is not the first time COMPEQ will work in conjunction with Sony. The company is already working on various parts for the portable game console, PSP, and hopefully the company will be able to build enough circuit boards to meet the high demand for the next generation console.

This might prove to increase PS3 sales as this means that the PS3 will be released during the Christmas season, and if Sony has learned from Microsoft’s mistakes they will release a lot of consoles right before Christmas to increase hype and sales during the holiday season.
