Lean, Green, Playstation 3

Remember when Sony released the Playstation 2 Slimline? What an improvement that was on the original brick they threw out. Well thankfully they've done it again.


Ok so now for the science...

* 120gb hard drive
* 32% smaller than the standard PS3
* 36% lighter than the standard PS3
* Uses 34% less power than the standard PS3
* Should retail at £249
* Has Sony Bravia sync feature allowing control via TV remote and it will switch off when the TV is turned off.
- It will only have 2 USB ports
- No feature for installing other OS's (so no more linux on PS3 for you geeks)

It's a great look for the PS3 and will no doubt boost sales. Is it enough to close the gap on the Xbox 360 and Wii? Time will tell, although i'll stick with my 360 for now. Even if it breaks I could still replace it for about £100 cheaper than the new PS3.
