Unless you've been locked in a cage somewhere, you should have at least heard about the newest version of the Playstation 3. Dubbed the "Slim" by many, it's the smaller version of the Playstation 3 that has a 120GB hard drive included.
Those of you hoping that the system was backwards compatible are going to be sad to find out that it's not. However, there have been rumblings recently that Sony is working on software emulation to provide it to all Playstation 3 systems.
The Playstation 3 120GB version will be hitting stores no later than September 1st, and will cost gamers a total of $299. With the system htiting a price drop, previous versions of the Playstation 3 should be hitting a price decrease with most consumers as well.
"The internal design architecture of the new PS3 system, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body. Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds. Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise. While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the new PS3 system features a new meticulous design with textured surface finish, giving an all new impression and a casual look. With the compact body and casual appearance, the newly introduced model will appeal to a wider audience who are looking to buy the best entertainment system for their home."
