After all the rumors, we finally have it. And it's coming super quick. Sony said it would be available in all regions by September 11'th. It will have the same features and functions, come with a 120 gb drive. It will also be 33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter.
With a Price of $299 in the states, 299 euros in Europe, and 29980 yen in Japan

PS3 slim announced!
And may the epicness shine forth from portables made with this system!
Although, I do wonder if they decreased the power usage at all.

So it only needs 2/3 of a nuclear reactor?
Honestly I'm surprised they kept the slot/tray-load Blu-Ray drive. Maybe they think they still want it to feel like an upscale device, and snap-in drives feel cheaper? (They almost certainly would be cheaper in the long run...) Or maybe they just haven't developed a top-loading Blu-Ray drive yet.

Re: Sony Announces PS3 Slim!!
Eh, i'll keep my ps3. The only difference is this thing is smaller and less energy using No need to sell and then buy it. xD

If I can't play my PS1 and PS2 games on it, screw it.

Re: Sony Announces PS3 Slim!!
I'm curious to see one in person as the picture don't make it look like anything special. Not that the original is sexy or anything, but there was a certain sleekness to it with the glossy finish.
At any rate this is one hell of a deal! For a mere $50 beyond the cost of a Wii you get a hi-def gaming system with a 120GB hard drive, Blu-ray, built-in ethernet, a decent online service, and a growing number of great exclusive games.
For anyone who was previously on the fence, I don't see a point in waiting any longer.

Well guess what? 40gb PS3s go for 229 used at Gamestop, where I just got back from. So I bet craigslist is gonna get a good amount of ps3s for 200! Hells yes!

Re: Sony Announces PS3 Slim!!
Nice. Phat PS3's are now listed at $300 in Canada on bestbuy.ca and futureshop.ca. $100 discount.
Although, unfortunatly for you in the US, bestbuy.com still has their old PS3's at $400.
Edit: Haha, The store I work at sells:
Used PS3 80 GB: $220 CAD
Used 360 20 GB: $189 CAD
Used Wii: $200 CAD
Haha, so cheap. Yey
I still remember when we had 360 Arcades for like $120. I just wonder how much a 20 or 40 gb ps3 would be, if we had one. Very cheap.
Be ready for cheap used PS3's at stores near you guys.

Re: Sony Announces PS3 Slim!!
So why would someone sell their old PS3 just to buy one of these new ones?
There's no reason I can think of other than if someone thinks this new PS3 is the most amazing looking piece of hardware ever built.

For the same reason that everybody went out and bought a DS lite.
