Sony came to Gamescon and unveiled the highly anticipated Playstation 3 Slim with 120gb hdd along with a nifty $300 price tag. Sony said that it is lighter, smaller and less power hungry than current models, it is also losing it's ties with the ability to install another OS on the system, which isn't exactly a huge lose considering the support for it doesn't seem to be there. Sony said that it will be released in September.
Sony also announced 3.00 firmware for the PS3. The firmware is going to give the XMB a much need facelift along with a few new thing's like dynamic themes, which gives new life to the already simple menu system.
In PSP news, Marvel is teaming up with Sony to release comics for the PSP, which is a perfect media for the system. It's also getting "Minis". Mini's are games under 100mb and will most likely be priced under $10 bucks.
It appears that Sony is creating a price friendly environment now which is something it has needed. Sony is gonna need to play some much needed catch up.
