There has been quite a lot of talk in the console gaming world this week. Beginning with Sony's announcement of the "Playstation 3 Slim", a lighter, smaller and less power hungry version of the popular PS3 gaming platform. The new hardware brings new and exciting features while taking away others. For example, the new PS3 slim will lose the ability to play old PS2 games. With the smaller form factor, Sony has also reduced the number of USB ports from 4 to 2. The PS3 Slim is slated for release on September 1st with a price tag of $299.99 (120GB HD).
In response to Sony's PS3 Slim, Microsoft has gone ahead and planned for a Xbox 360 Elite price cut, from $399 to $299, matching that of the new PS3 Slim.
Thankfully, the consumers are usually the ones that benefit from such marketing campaigns.
