After months of rumors, Sony has officially announced a revised, slimmer model of the PlayStation 3 that will arrive at retailers worldwide during the first week of September.

The new model, said to be one-third smaller, will sell at $299 USD and 299 euros. The included internal hard disc drive will be 120GB in capacity, and the system is billed as having the same functionality as the hardware currently in stores--meaning that you shouldn't expect backwards compatibility with PlayStation 2 games.

It's nice to finally see a price cut, but I think that the slim aspect is also good news. The current PS3 is huge compared to the other consoles.

But I'll make do with the Wii anyway.
