From G4TV And other sites:
G4TV Wrote:At Sony's GamesCom 2009 press conference, SCEI CEO Kaz Hirai unveiled the PlayStation 3 Slim. The new model will be available in stores starting the first week of September 2009. It is roughly 1/3 smaller and lighter than the current PS3 (and uses 1/3 less power! Gcycle!!!). The Slim will come with a 120GB hard drive. Most importantly, it will be the cheapest PS3 to date, with a price of $299 USD. The lower price will also apply to all 80GB models still available.
It's features known at this date are this:
-It's coming out Early September.
-It uses 34% less electricity.
-It is 33% smaller.
-It is 36% lighter.
-It has a 120 GB hard drive.
-It has Blu-Ray.
-Comes with a DualShock 3 and has HDMI input of up with 1080p support.
-It's $299! USD.
So, what will you do? Go and buy it? Keep/buy an older PS3? Or wait and see what problems this model has? I mean, comeon, Christmas is still 4 months away...
I'll more than likely be choosing the 3rd option. Waiting and seeing. Gotta be sure about backwards compatibility and all that.
Let the *holy crap it's nearly here!* chants start.

This is good...I wonder how many heart attacks the Executives had when they saw they were dropping prices on the old ones. They're gonna lose even more money now, but their fan base will grow greatly and they'll make money from the games. Finally they're doing something right.[/COLOR]

Who cares about how it's slim, or lighter, or whatever else. I don't know anyone who moves their PS3 from their TV's shelf. Even with the price drop, I won't even consider buying one until it's at $200 (Which won't take long).

Considering getting it for Christmas... Though there's not many games I want that are for it, the ones I do are exclusive, and then there's a few that are only for 360/PS3 (or have only a crap version for Wii) that I'd pick up.
Also, LBP is getting a GOY edition, which is another little bonus...

I might actually consider getting one now, but I'll probably just wait until after Christmas and/or another price drop. I'm not in any rush to get one, there's seriously only a few games that I want to play on it anyway.

It's about time. I saw the like 7 articles on Kotaku about it when they were first posted. I've been waiting for this. Gives me a better reason to pick up a PS3 this Christmas.

Guys, PS3 is obviously the superior console. Prove me wrong.
PS3 has great movies such as:
-Talladega Nights
-Metal Gear Solid 4
-Superbad
-Twilight
It's the cheapest Blu-ray player on the market. You'd have to be dumb to not want one.

[COLOR="Red"]Not only that, it pwns the pomegranate out of the 360 and Wii in graphics, online play, and lack of lag all-around.
Maybe now people will start developing more for it.
