So two things are going down today with Sony. First all the existing Playstation 3 consoles they sell right now are getting about $100 knocked of their price. Second,the oft rumored slim Playstation 3 has been finally announced. Retailing at $300 from the first week of September,Sony has finally taken the beamouth that is the Playstation 3 and repackeged it into a device that is 32 percent smaller,and takes 34 percent less power. The console will come with a 120GB drive,and the ability to work with your existing Bravia remote. Kudos to Sony for this,and the price cut. They’re finally competitive enough with the Xbox,but more importantly,making a great case to be my Blu-Ray player. (Found on Engadget)
BluRay players (as standalone devices) are the biggest ripoffs –they don’t play stuff like BD+ or any of the twenty or so bluray flavors,and they certainly don’t do the variety of things (music,movies,photo,web) the ps3 does.
