We know, we’re as shocked as you are! 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 120GB hard drive and the tidy price tag of $299. It boasts all the same features as the current PS3, which means still no backwards compatibility with your PS2 games.
Now there is no reason not to buy a PS3 this holiday!, unless your broke >_< ouch..

While pink is the new black, chicks dig white gadgets. The new Sony PlayStation 3 now comes in white, so you have a choice between ebony and ivory. There are a few quirks, however, with this new version, that’s why they call this low-end.
- 40 GB hard drive
- No backwards compatibility with PS2
- No memory card slots
- 2 USB ports
- NO support for SACD playback
- Still Wi-Fi supported
- Shipped with the new DualShock 3 controller
The 40GB PS3 will hit stores in Japan on November 11th (for the equivalent of $341 USD) and in all likelihood, they’ll be available in North America within a couple of weeks of that for around $399.
