Playstation 3 Slim confirmed by Sony
August 18th, 2009 by Annkur
Sony has confirmed the existence of a Slimmer version of its latest gaming console, the Playstation 3 (PS3). The rumors of a PS3 Slim is being heard of since a long time, however its only now that the 120GB Slim Playstation 3 has been confirmed for an September launch. PS3 loses 36% weight and 1/3rd of its volume (32% smaller) in the slimmer version. This comes without compromising the features like inbuilt Blu-ray and WiFi.
The 120GB PS3 slim would cost $299 (and hit the stores in first week of September) while the regular 80GB PS3 shall cost $299 from tomorrow today (and might well be discontinued after the Slim version goes mainstream). Sony has managed to reduce the manufacturing cost of the PS3 by 70%, and would hope to better compete with the Microsoft’s Xbox and the Nintendo Wii.
