Sony had been selling each PS3 console at massive losses since its launch in 2006. The PS3 Slim cut production costs and simplified the system, allowing Sony to break almost even at $300 per unit. For the first time in the PS3’s life, Sony is going to turn a profit on its investment. Meanwhile, Nintendo’s DS and variants have sold so well worldwide that it should overtake the Playstation 2 as the best selling gaming system in history. More »

OK, these are more like “pretty good,” not wicked, mods, but they are easy to install and take virtually minutes to assemble. I have never been in favor of chrome for anything, but somehow, these replacement cases for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3/PS3 Slim are tasteful. More »

The PS3 Slim has already hit 1 million units sold and it’s just getting started. Sony is planning to release a special edition white and pink Final Fantasy Play Station 3 slim for all you die-hard fans.

While I’m not a huge fan of the pink on the white (couldn’t come up with a better color?!), I’d love to have one of those white PS3 Slims in my living room. They’ll be coming to Japan first, and expect to pay a hefty price for it. More »

It’s finally official. Sony has released their highly rumored Playstation 3 Slim. The Slim which has been popping up everywhere with pictures and rumors, will be available to the public in the first week of September and will cost $300 before taxes.

The new PS 3 Slim is lighter, smaller, has a 120 GB HDD and offers all the similar features of it’s older and heavier brethren. While the new PS 3 Slim was announced, Sony also dropped the prices on the older Playstation 3 models by a $100. But like I said before, why would anyone pay $300 for a heavier, older and less capacity PS 3 when you can get the Slim with more capacity for the same price. I wish Sony had cut the prices a little bit more, maybe $150 or $200, because most people will not buy the older Playstation 3. Sony finally has a day for themselves after all. Pics from the announcements after the break. More »
