The New PS3

There will be a new PS3 in stores on September 1st. The new PS3  will be known as the PS3 Slim.The PS3 Slim is 32% thinner , 36% lighter and uses 34%  less energy then the original PS3.The Cool thing about it  is that it is only $299 for the 120 GB better then the 60 GB XBOX 360 selling at $299. BEAT  THAT  MICROSOFT   !!

More affordable $299 price; slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use interface; doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player; built-in Wi-Fi; 120GB hard drive; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply; built-in Web browser; free online gaming service

The bad: Lacks backward support for PS2 games; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren’t compatible; online gaming, media, and commerce options still aren’t as fully developed as Xbox Live, though they’re getting better.

The bottom line: With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.
