Available September 1st, the PS3 Slim will have a 120 gig hard drive, it will be 33 percent smaller, and 36 percent lighter than the previous model. Looking similar to leaked photos of the PS3 Slim in May, the console has a matte finish, while the sides remain glossy. The Slim will cost $299, and even bigger news is that the current 80 gig model will be $299 starting tomorrow, the 19th. Stay tuned for more information on the PS3 Slim.
UPDATE: The PS3 Slim is up for pre-order on Kmart, other retailers are sure to follow soon.
(UP)UPDATE: Kotaku has confirmed with GameStop that the current 160 gig PS3 will drop to $399, along with the $299 60 gig.

BOOYA! We knew it all along, right? Well, the PS3 Slim is here, and we can't wait to get our hands on it. I'm really liking the matte finish and the (sort-of) budget-friendly price. The 120 gig hard drive doesn't hurt either. With all that said, what are you guys going to do now? Ditch your old PS3 for a new one, get one for the first time, or say screw it, I've got all the PS3 I need?

Wish it said a little more about the specs. Wireless internet? BC? Maybe that patch that's being rumored will be unveiled soon.

No word yet on full backwards compatibility, Tae and I were just talking about that. I doubt it though.
