Picture from Sony introduces slimmer and less expensive PS3

After weeks of speculation, wild rumors and unconfirmed sightings, as well as the leaking of grainy photos and shaky video footage, Sony has finally revealed the truth that the PlayStation 3 Slim exists. Consumers will be able to buy the new game console, a PS3 that comes with a thinner, lighter shape and a 120-gigabyte hard drive, for $299.

During a press conference in advance of the GamesCom video-game convention in Cologne, Germany, Sony executives announced that the PlayStation 3 Slim will be available starting Sept. 1 and that the company will also drop the price of the current 80 gigabyte PlayStation 3 to $299. Meanwhile, its 160-gigabyte model will drop from $499 to $399, but once both the 160- and 80 sell out they will be discontinued.

As I posted on TehSkeen, Until the price drops to CAD$250 or less, no thanks. It’s cost-cutting, so not sure if I’ll get one at all..

Anyways, Sony should have been smarter than to release a system that costs so much to build. 3DO ring a bell anyone?
