In September, those who’ve been waiting to take the PlayStation 3 plunge might want to ante up. The PS3 Slim was announced today, a thinner, more compact version of the PS3 (which has been criticized in the past for its behemoth size). The PS3 Slim will have all of the same functions as the original PS3 — including the integrated Blu-ray player — and will retail for just $299. The PS3 Slim is reportedly 33% smaller than the original.
Also announced today was an immediate price drop for the original PS3 to just $299 — yep, the same price as the PS3 Slim. The 80GB PS3 is now $299, while the 160GB version is dropping to $399.
