Smaller, slimmer, and easy on the wallet.

At this year’s GamesCom, the European video games trade fair similar to E3, big news hit the Sony conference when CEO Kaz Hirai announced the much rumoured PS3 Silm, with a not-so-hefty pricetag of $299 US.

It's 32% smaller, consumes 34% less energy, and contains the same amount of features that are current gen. Plus, it's shipping out with a gawesome 120GB hard drive. If that’s not enough to make you wet your fanboy pants, it looks throwable at the TV when it overheats from countless hours of marathon gaming.

Just look at that TEXTURED SURFACE.

*GLEAM GLEAM*

Cutting the price down $100 may hope to open new doors for Sony and their exclusive fanbase. Console wars will get hot (I’m damn sure of it), however this gives Sony fanboys all the more reason to jump on the bandwagon and come crashing into Microsoft’s front offices. I have to say, I’m seeing that bandwagon a lot nowadays, and the tempting urge to ninja jump onboard itches my brain more than ever before. With this news, it’s great for both gamers without jobs (regular gamers), or those hoping to recover from the awesome recession the world has just underwent. Huzzah!

Along with this awesome news, more awesome news. Sony announced that price drops on all their currently existing consoles will be implemented in the coming future. Sources tell me that you can anticipate saving over $100 on consoles after the drops are introduced. My sources are reliable. Because there’s only one, and it’s always right.



The Internet.
