The New Sony PS3 Slim Could Give Competitors A Run For Their Money.

Sony has stated, the production cost of the PS3 has been reduced by 70%. Sony PS3 Slim could ultimately give the system the edge it needs to rise up and take back at least a decent chunk of the market. The fact is the pictures are being leaked from an official PS3 manufacturer Maintek, which is based in China.

It will be known at the E3 conference that will take place.The main advantage of using the thinner version of PS3 would the low power consumption and easy portability. We all know that thinner items can be easily carried to different places easily and hence if the PS3 come as a slimmer version the portability would make it easier for you to take it to your buddy's house and play there. Most importantly, the new Sony PS3 Slim will see a price cut over the original model. The new console will be available in the first week of September for $300. The banner even goes far enough to touch on the rumors of an impending PlayStation 3 price drop and Sony PS3 Slim redesign, but offers nothing more visually than the stock hardware photos available elsewhere on Kmart.com. That Kmart.com would even mention rumors of a hardware redesign seems unusual.

Sony also says that they're eliminating the feature of installing other operating systems on the Slim, so no more Linux. And the reason they don't just out the slimline versions of products right away is because the production costs of the technology that these systems utilize is outright embarrassing. In addition, Sony can keep a consumer's attention if they consistently have new updates and improvements on current products between console releases.

The new slimmer model is expected to have an 80GB HD. Last week, a listing for the Slim appeared on Amazons website . But then again, if Sony were to release a PS3 Slim there would no need for a price cut, as the slimmer model would undoubtedly be cheaper to produce and sell. Time will tell on this one, but for now the Sony PS3 Slim remains a rumor.

It's certainly a rumor that could shift consoles for Sony. The Madden games are a big deal in the US and August is just close enough to the end of the summer and the start of the Holiday season to make a Playstation 3 Slim bundle a massive marketing attack from Sony. Lastly, this all leads to European retailers getting word of an impending $100 price cut on the 80GB console, and the debut of the Sony PS3 Slim at the gamescom expo in Cologne, Germany on August 18th.
