You should just admit it: You’ve been drooling over the Playstation 3 since it’s release three years ago but you found the $600 price tag to be a little daunting, correct? Heck up until the middle of last month, the least-expensive PS3 you could buy was $400—and that was for a console with an 80GB hard drive. Well good news gamers, there is a new generation of Playstation 3’s on the block. They are also to be found at half the price of their 2006 counterparts!

The most incredible gaming device on the market has been slimmed down, with a roomier 120 GB harddrive, built in Wi-Fi, free access to the PlaySationNetwork, and one of the best Blu-Ray players you can buy for much more affordable price of $299!

We should say that the new model does offer almost an identical user experience. Much of the hardware is unchanged—the device still features a 3.2-GHz cell processor (though sized down from 65nm to 45nm), 550-GHz nVidia graphics, and the RSX Reality Synthesizer GPU—but Sony completely redesigned the power supply unit and cooling mechanism, resulting in a more efficient PS3 that runs cooler. With the original PS3, Sony found the right combination of hardware for outstanding gameplay, so it makes more sense to refine the current technology than to start from scratch with entirely new components. That being said the previous-gen PS3 is a glossy black behemoth, weighing 9.5 pounds, measuring 3.9 by 10.7 by 12.7 inches, and taking up more than its fair share of space in the entertainment center. Sony trimmed the new console down to a much more palatable 2.5 by 11.4 by 11.4 inches and 6.7 pounds, so it’s easier to stash in smaller spaces. The new PS3 also includes a 120GB 2.5-inch (notebook-size) hard drive. Sony not only shrunk the PS3’s internal components to fit into the slimmer housing, but energy efficiency has also improved, by 32%!

Did we also mention that it’s half the price!?!
