Only moments ago, Sony revealed the PS3 Slim for the first time at the GamesCom Press Conference in Cologne, Germany. The PlayStation 3 Slim is lighter and smaller than the current model, but has the same features. The Slim will be available from the first week of September, retailing for €299 / $299. The price for the current PS3 model has also be reduced, as we saw earlier this week.
Official Images:
It seems that the leaked photos from back in May were real. The PS3 logo is indeed different on the PS3 Slim, losing the “Spiderman” font. Sony did a good job keeping the leak fairly small this time with everything lablled as rumors. The PSP Go! leak before E3 was a lot worse when an official Qore interview was leaked.
Personally, I prefer some of the other PS3 Slim mockups that were flying around the last few months.
