Sony slices the Playstation 3 down to size

There are two new versions of the nano-sized Playstation – a 500GB version that will sell for $399.95, and a 12GB flash version that will come in at $299.95. Both will hit shelves on September 27.

The new console really is quite the feat of engineering, coming in at half the size of the original PS3, and shaving an extra 20-25 per cent off the PS3 slim. Both models will be available in either black or white.
