Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) today confirmed their plans to launch a new 250GB PS3. The new PS3 will have the same slim form factor as the recently introduced 120GB model, which retails for $299 and has sold 1 million units worldwide in the three weeks since its launch on September 1. The 250GB model becomes available on November 3 for the price of $349.99.
“The PS3 platform is poised for a tremendous holiday season,” said Scott A. Steinberg, vice president, product marketing, SCEA. “We kicked things off early with the new price point and sleek form factor and have continued the momentum with this week’s launch of the universally acclaimed exclusive, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The new 250GB PS3 provides consumers with another compelling hardware option and speaks to the growing consumer appetite for digital content from the PlayStation Network – particularly high-def content that showcases the power of the PS3 system.”
Speaking of PSN, Sony noted that over 600 million pieces of content have been downloaded as of September, and the platform will continue to expand its downloadable games and movie offerings. PSN currently has 2,300 movies (one-third of those are in HD) as well as 13,300+ TV episodes. by Shirley
