Sony announces new PS3 Slim, coming first week of Sept.

We know, we're as shocked as you are, which is to say, not at all: Sony has used the GamesCom stage in Cologne to announce the oh-so-tiny PS3 Slim. The good news is that the system sports both a slimmer form factor (33 percent smaller, 36 percent lighter and 34 percent less power use) a 120 GB hard drive and a tidy pricetag, $299. The bad news? All the same features as current PS3, which means still no backwards compatibility with all PS2 games.

If you've been holding off on buying a chunkier PS3 until the inevitable release of its slimmer little brother, your wait will finally end in Sept.

As foreshadowed by retailers and called for by analysts (it's pretty nice for us lowly consumers, too), Sony has officially cut the US retail price of the PlayStation 3 by $100, effective immediately. This new pricing affects all PS3 systems currently in the retail stream, and will carry over to the just-announced PS3 Slim.


Byebye Xbox!

Just to make things a bit more tempting; Sony have patented technology to let the PS3 emulate PS2 games

dammit

I want it to be ps2 compatiable!!!!!111oneone This is really idiotic, they should've made it like that in the first place, cuz with that they could sell some more PS2 games and a part of that money goes to Sony anyway, so they are idiots.

It was rumored that at the gamescom they would announce an update with backwards compability but looks like that isn't happening.

The original models had bc but they took out the emotion engine (which played the PS2 games) to save cost

ps3 is still wack though in comparison to ps2 imo.

but the 360 was way better than xbox1.

same old story, too expensive for smaller companies to make creative games for it.

[Rame]

How is it wack compared to the PS2?

[Reiko]

it's not wack it's just not that popular I mean 360 is cheaper and Sony lost many exclusive titles

Haven't you seen the line-up of games they announced?
