Here comes Sony Playstation 3 Slim

The coming "ber" season sure preempts more gadgetry worth looking forward to or getting excited about before the holidays. Announced recently, the Sony Playstation 3 Slim is now made affordable (slashing roughly US$100 from the previous price tag), has a slimmer and compact design, retaining pretty much the same features (Blu-ray, WIFI, HD storage, Web browser built-in and HDMI support) as the model it intends to phase out. It's coming out *officially* this September, not sure though if it will ever be launched here.

Losing the game console battle to sales-busting Nintendo Wii and second-honor Microsoft Xbox 360, this might actually be a good chance for PS3 to catch up to the race.


What used to be shiny and expensive-looking is now matte-like and cheaper in comparison, probably to justify the price cut? I ain't thinking of buying (pre-order actually) just yet, I'd like to see how Nintendo and Microsoft will react to the pricing.

My kids are getting tired of their PS2, actually they've been bugging me to buy a Nintendo Wii (yes, they love Mario and the gang), and if I do consider buying them PS3 Slim, all our PS2 games are practically useless (no backward compatibility sadly).

At least we can watch Blu-ray? As if I have movies in that format. Hmm, I think I'd still like to stick with our PS2.
