It seems the months of rumors and speculation around the Internet has paid off. Sony has now officially announced the availability of a slimmer version of it's Playstation 3 console. The matte finished slim weighs only 7 lbs. and is definitely smaller than its piano black cousin. However for some reason they think giving it a form factor that is very similar to the older one would make sense, I for one was hoping that it would vastly different. But hey they it was slim, do just of it as Playstation 3 on a diet. What's very interesting is looks very similar to the gadget touted in a youtube video a few months back. So it seems that the Philippine black market was able to snag some test systems hehehe. Anyways here to a cheaper and less power consuming blu-ray player for the rest of us. Oh and it plays games too.
