Sony Debuts Slimmed Down Version of the PS3

To the disappointment of some, a marquee announcement at Sony‘s pre-Tokyo Game Show unveiling was none other than a newly developed slimmed-down version of the PS3. Like iterations of the past, the PS3 will enjoy a smaller footprint with a 20% reduction in overall size and coming in 25% lighter — with no performance upgrades. The top-loading console takes similar cues to the previous, slimmed down PS2 in hopes of creating a few more sales and prolonging the lifeline of its once revolutionary console. The console will be available in a 250GB bundle with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception Game of the Year Edition and a $30 digital content voucher for DUST 514. Additionally, a standalone 500GB bundle will release for $299 USD. The releases will take place stateside starting October 30 — the same release day as Assassin’s Creed III.

Nike Training x Sony PlayStation Move Pack

Celebrating the 15th anniversary of the Sony Playstation console, they once again teamed up with Nike on a pack of sneakers. As part of the pack they present the Nike “Move” Huarache Trainer and the Nike “Killzone” SFB Boots. The two sneakers mark the release of the new Move Motion controller and the Killzone 3 game. Both sneakers features lots of interesting design details, that are worth checking out. As usual the pack will only be released to friends and family.

Sony PlayStation Move's on the Wii

Japanese gaming giant Sony makes a strong play for Nintendo Wii market share with their latest announcement. The PlayStation Move motion controller (for PS3) functions much like Nintendo’s Wii Remote and Nunchuck, working in conjunction with the PlayStation Eye camera and a sub-controller – though Sony claims their version is much more accurate. And you can play in HD. We’ll have to wait and see if this can compete with a traditional controller/Wii gaming. The PlayStation Move releases sometime this Fall.
