250GB Playstation 3 Available Nov.3/09
There were rumors of this floating around for the last couple of weeks but today Sony confirmed that a 250GB Playstation 3 is on the way and will hit retail in North America Tuesday, November 3, 2009 for $349.99CND*, which will no doubt annoy those that bought a “slim” Playstation 3 back on September 1, 2009, which ships with a 120GB hard drive.
* US and CND prices are the same. The Loonie is almost at par with the US dollar.
“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.”
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 September 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.
