Do you own a PlayStation 3 Slim already? In case you don’t then you should get one this week. The 250GB PlayStation 3 Slim is confirmed to arrive in the USA on November 3 and it’s said to cost $349.99. That’s just $50 more than the 120GB model. Do you think it’s worth getting it?

It looks like Best Buy is almost ready to sell the console too as the new PS3 Slim has been spotted in Best Buy’s inventory. The picture has been taken in a Best Buy backroom in Houston, not that it matters that much. Most Best Buy stores must have received the console so you’ll probably find the 250GB PS3 Slim in a Best Buy store near you next week. Anyone excited yet?

Sony is really riding the wave on its brand new PS3 Slim. The game console is selling like hot cakes all over the place so it’s no wonder that a 250GB PS3 Slim model has also been developed. The bigger model has apparently arrived in stores and retailers are waiting to sell it to the angry mobs gathering in front of their stores. Ok, maybe there’s nobody lining up to get this model yet as the 250GB PS3 Slim should officially be available starting with October 6. But then again, there’s at least one store that’s selling those boxes in the picture here.

On a different note it looks like October 6 is a day when everyone wants to get noticed. It is definitely not going to be a day dedicated to Microsoft related events like the big Windows Mobile 6.5 launch after all as both Sony and Motorola have apparently big plans scheduled on the very same date. So what will you do on October 6? Follow Microsoft’s launch, grab a 250GB PS3 from Sony or attend Motorola’s MOTODEV event?

It looks like Sony’s PlayStation 3 Slim was the thing Nintendo needed to cut down the price of its popular Wii console by $50. If you want to play motion controlled games you can get the Wii right now or the iPhone 3GS for the same price. The Wii’s new and very official price is $199.99, and although its graphics could be significantly improved, it still offers a better gaming experience than the iPhone or iPod touch when it comes to motion controlled games.

And that’s $100 less than the PS3 Slim! It will be interesting to see if Nintendo can stop the Slim’s popularity. Sony has sold over 1 million Slim consoles in less than three weeks and it’s getting ready to launch the 250GB PS3 Slim version. So what will you choose now folks? The cheaper Wii or the smaller Slim?

The PS3 Slim is the hottest gaming console right now. It shouldn’t be, given the fact that Sony hasn’t launched a totally new platform. It’s mostly the same thing you’ve seen before, only it’s Slim and it’s cheaper. So if you want to go ahead and order your Slim console today you can already do it via Amazon. The 120GB PS3 Slim will cost you $299.99 and it will be ready to ship sometime later this month. Rumors point to an August 26 ship day but don’t get all too excited. It looks like the PS3 is in high demand and Amazon is going to only allow one PS3 Slim per household. That also means you might not get yours until a later date. If you got the cash and you’re already in love with this slimmer look then, by all means, follow the link! You’ll know what to do!

This PlayStation 3 we see here is the Slim version that was rumored for quite a while now. I don’t know if the actual shape or weight of a new console is such an important factor for you, but this Slim PS3 looks a lot better than some of its counterparts. And it’s not only the design that looks better now. The price has dropped too. The PS3 Slim will be available for just $300 which sounds about right. We’ve been waiting for a long time for Sony to decide to drop this particular price.

Should the Xbox and the Wii be afraid? Well that’s for analyst to say. In the mean time we know that the PS3 Slim is quieter and it will consume less power than the regular PS3. The $300 console will also offer you a 120GB 2.5 inch SATA drive, an optional vertical stand and it will measure only 11.42 x 2.56 x 11.42 inches and weigh 7.05 pounds.

What will you choose: Xbox 360, Wii, or PS3 Slim?

This is a nice but unexpected surprise! In case that there still are PlayStation 3 lovers out there, they should know that Sony might finally drop the price. According to rumors such a move will be made at the same time EA Sport will release the next Madden version this fall so you’ll still have to wait a while before getting a cheaper Playstation 3.

Considering that the PS3 has been trailing behind the Wii and the Xbox 360 for a while now, Sony should definitely charge less for it. Or can we go ahead and speculate that a new PlayStation console is going to arrive soon and therefore the price cut is absolutely necessary?
