Sony PS3 Slim shrinks in size and price

Just as the PlayStation 2 before it saw the introduction of a slim version to boost sales, so the PlayStation 3 has perhaps inevitably followed suit. According to SCE president and CEO Kazuo Hirai, the PS3 slim is some 36 percent lighter and 32 percent smaller than the original PS3 but retains the Blu-ray player along with a 120GB hard drive.
