Gamescom 2009: Crushing Over PS3 Slim

Posted by Adam Johnson Aug 20, 2009










As most major media outlets predicted, Sony unveiled their new Playstation 3 at this years Gamescom in Germany.


Thankfully the PS3 has dropped it's trashy Spider Man font and shed about 33% of it's weight. The new Playstation 3 Slim is much more attractive than it's Haagen-Daz slurping predecessor in more ways than those strictly cosmetic. It sports a 120g hard-drive, runs quieter, and is more reasonably priced at $300 (only about $50 more than the new PSP!), the same price as the similarly spec'ed XBOX Elite.

I'm totally loving the new design and branding of the PS3. The unit itself actually looks like a game console, as opposed to a living-room "multimedia entertainment suite".

The Playstation Slim models have always been some of the most handsome consoles to grace the market and the PS3 entry is no expection.

Remember these?

Playstation One (just want to pinch it's cheeks!)


Playstation 2 Slim (so debonair.)


Playstation 3 Slim comes out in Early September. Will the droves of gamers on the fence about getting a PS3 finally bite, or will they save their money to buy two COD: Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Editions? You really have to ask yourself--What is cooler? Blu Rays or Night Vision goggles?

  2. Too little, too late? Backwards compatibility would have been a deal sealer for me.
