18 Aug, 2009, 11:44 pm IST | by Avinash Bali | Console

At the ongoing Gamescom held in Germany, Sony not only announced a 100$ price cut for the PlayStation 3 but they also announced a slim version of the PlayStation 3.


Kaz Hirai, head honcho of PlayStation said the PS3 Slim will be available worldwide by the first week of September. As far as specs are concerned the PS3 Slim offers pretty much everything the regular PS3 did in addition to a spiffy 120 GB hard drive. It will of course be a more anorexic version of a PS3 that’s 33% smaller and 36% lighter.

The PS3 Slim will be priced at $299 and since it’s too late to disturb the folks at Sony, we’re going to speak to them first thing tomorrow morning regarding availability in India.
