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?

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!

The Fujitsu F705i tries to proves beyond a doubt that “waterproof” and “slim” is a good combination. It is the latest in its “FOMA i series” of waterproof phones headed to NTT DoCoMo conforming to IPX5 and IPX7 waterproof standards and measures a scrawny 13.7 mm. Waterproof up to 30 minutes at 1 meter depth, this phone features a 1.3-megapixel camera, Super Clear Voice and Super Clear Mic for in-call adjustment of volume to surrounding sounds, a 2.7-inch QVGA LCD screen, and Quick Zoom for increased visual accessibility. This cell phone also has another notable feature, which is a buzzer that can be set off in case of an emergency alerting people in the proximity.

The Fujitsu F705i will be available in three colors of snow white, dark blue, and light pink, although my Japanese doesn’t permit me enough to say when.
