New Slimmer & Better PS3

Sony got on stage today at GamesCom and confirmed the new, slimmer PS3 is really REAL.

It'll be out in the first week of September (September 1 in North America and Europe, September 3 for Japan), and will retail for $300 (or 300 Euro, or 29,980 Yen). It's smaller and lighter, has a 120GB HDD, and packs "all the same features" of the regular PS3 while consuming 34 percent less power and taking up 32 percent less space. Existing PS3 SKUs have their prices dropped a hundie apiece tomorrow in anticipation. However I struggle to find a reason to pay $300 for an 80GB PS3 when a couple weeks later, I can get 120GB in a cuter package.
