Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) recently unveiled the new PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, featuring an extremely streamlined form factor with a 120 GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The new PS3 system will become available in India around the last week of November 2009 at a retail price of Rs. 19,990/-.
The internal design architecture of the new PS3, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body.
Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60 GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds. Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise.
While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the new PS3 features a new meticulous design with textured surface finish, giving an all new impression and a casual look. With the compact body and casual appearance, the newly introduced model will appeal to a wider audience who are looking to buy the best entertainment system for their home.
SCEE said the new PS3 continues to offer the cutting-edge features and functions of the current models, such as the ability to enjoy high-definition Blu-ray disc (BD) movies and games, as well as various content and services downloadable through the network. The new PS3's storage size has increased from 80 GB to 120 GB, and with the extra capacity users will be able to store more games, music, photos and videos.
