Sony yesterday unveiled a long-rumoured slim version of its PlayStation 3 videogame console and cut prices on existing models that have been struggling for momentum in the marketplace.
A PlayStation 3 console with "an extremely streamilined form factor" and a 120 gigabyte hard drive will be released next month, according to the Japanese electronics giant.
The consoles will be price at US$299 (Bt10,200) in the United States 299 Cent (Bt14,400) in Europe, and 29,980 yen(Bt10,850) in Japan.
Sony lopped $100 off the prices of PS3 consoles currently on the market to $299 for models with 80 gigabyte hard drives and $399 for those with 160 gigabyte hard drives.
The slim PS3 is about two-thirds the size of existing models but has all the features of previous models, including Blu-ray high-definition disk players, accroding to Sony.
Since their launch with much fanfare in 2006, PS3 models have boasted power and rich graphics, but at premium prices when compared to Microsoft's Xbox 360 Nintendo's innovative Wii consoles.
