Following the successful launch of the slimmer and lighter PlayStation3 system with 120GB hard disk drive, the company recently announce that a new PS3 system with a 250GB HDD will be available on Nov. 3. It will retail for $349.99.
The 250GB PS3 system offers the same form factor and functionality as the current 120GB system, which achieved retail sales of 1 million units worldwide in the three weeks since its launch on Sept. 1. Both models will be available at retail this holiday, providing both gamers and gift-givers with the opportunity to choose the PS3 system that’s right for them.
“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 (the) 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.”
