HomeKmart Says "New Exciting" PS3 is Real (Update: Slim Preorder is Up)
Posted August 18, 2009 08:40 AM by Juan Calonge
The website of Sears-owned retailer Kmart sports today a promotional
banner reading, "The rumors are reality – New Low Price & A New Exciting
Playstation 3." There is no further information at this time, but it definitely
seems that a new PS3 model is coming up, although it may or may not be
the fabled slim console.
If you follow the "Learn More" link now, it takes you to the already familiar models and bundles. Hopefully it will be updated during the day.
Additionally, kotaku is reporting that FYE is soon going to advertise price reductions for the two existing models of PS3, with both dropping $100.
We'll definitely know more later today when Sony Computer Entertainment holds its gamescom press conference.
Update
Engadget just noticed that the link is now live and takes to a preorder page for a slim PS3, with a price of $299.99, and a release date of August 24. It supposedly comes with a 120GB hard disk drive, and one Dual Shock 3 controller.
