Sony’s coming out with a slimmer PS3. Coming out September 1st, the new slim PS3 is 33% smaller, it’s lighter and has a hard drive upgrade from 80GB to 120GB. It also has a price reduction from $399 to $299. All these summed up makes the PS3 have the potential to boost up its sales and compete with the Xbox 360 and Wii in the fall. In my personal opinion, a $299 PS3 is a steal. Having used the Xbox 360 and the Wii, the PS3 in comparison of processing power and visual power is top notch. Not only does the bluray discs allow people to watch HD movies, but it allows game producers to bulk up their games with better graphics and extras. All of that and with a power adapter built into the PS3 (unlike the xbox’s behemoth power block) plus free online gaming and a good selection of games releasing comprable to the Xbox 360, it looks like Sony’s getting its formula down for the fall to take the console lead. Take a look at the comparison here.
