After the announcement that Sony wouldn't be lowering the price of their PS3, in a shocking turn of event Sony has now released their new PS3 Slim, just like they did with the PS2, but at almost half the price of the original PS3.
Even more shocking is that you don't lose any features with the newer version and it comes with a larger Harddrive (120GB vs 60GB in the original) than the original as well.
This will definitely make the console wars less of a one sided argument, with the Wii out-passing both the Xbox 360 and PS3, the Xbox 360 second and the PS3 third.
The major downfall of the PS3 was the price, seeing as it has better graphics than the Wii and 360, a free online network Vs the Xbox's pay per month.
Harvey Norman has a deal going at the moment when you buy a PS3 Slim for $499 you get one of the PS3's iconic games (e.g. Little Big Planet).
With this running the PS3 sales number are going to skyrocket and Microsoft has already put into work their defense stating that after the 22nd of September 2009, the Xbox 360 Elite will be lowered to $449 (the Elite being Microsofts comparison to the PS3 Slim).
Also from the 22nd of September to the 22nd of October, any customers who buy the Elite will also get a free copy of Halo:ODST.
An interesting development in the Gaming world.
