Size matters

Following up on Annsonn’s post earlier in regards to the SLIM ps3..looks like it’ll be available worldwide starting September 1st and at a whopping 100 dollar discount from it’s original pricing.

The general consensus seems to be that it’s too late for SONY and these sales tactics.. but
I’m now contemplating getting a ps3..though my brother just picked up a 360.. so.. yeah I’m on the fence about the whole thing.

ps3-slim-plastic-casingSo having Sony deny it a billion times, but having rumour and conspiracies surface like once a week, there is new rumours of Sony finally unveiling this machine on August 18, 2009 at Cologne Gamescon in Germany. $50 has already been taken off the 160GB bundle on Amazon, but some say that Sony has informed European retailers that this console will be €100 cheaper for the 80GB system. We can only hope it does get cheaper and wait for the news to come out on August 18th, if it does.

Starting this August, Sony will be start shipping their netbook, the Sony Vaio W. This 10.1 inch netbook will have all the specs of what most of the netbooks out there will have including: 1.6GHz Atom processor, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g/n, VGA out, two USB ports, Ethernet, webcam, and MemoryStick / SD card readers. It comes with a 3 cell battery which will last you about 3 hrs but of course you can op for a 6-cell battery as well. The only feature that is kind of cool because its a Sony product is that there is software that will allow you to stream videoes to and from your PC and PS3.

There’s no 3G OR GPS option, or is there a SSD option as well. The price is $499 which asks for is most than most of the netbooks in the market now, but then again, its Sony. The netbook comes in 3 colours: white, black and pink. Hit the jump for more pictures.

sony-reader-prs-505-06Got a Kindle2 or PRS-700? Looking for mangas that you read on it? chan and i bought ebook readers a month ago and we (when i say we i mean I) love it! Unfortunately due to budget reasons, we got the Sony PRS-505. It doesn’t have WiFi, it’s not a touch screen, there’s no backlight, and there’s no keyboard, its JUST an ebook reader. I have an iPod for all that other stuff. And believe or not, this thing is actually thinner than my first generation iPod Touch. Hit the jump for more: (more…)

So I don’t know what is “Beyond High Definition” but anyways, Sony just won’t stop making these “Special Edition” PS3. They’ve got one for Metal Gear and Resident Evil, so they HAVE to make one for FF7, there will probably be another one for FFXIII when it comes out, probably one for Gran Turismo. Crazy Sony. May that’s why they are losing money, they are spending so much time trying to figure out how to get the same person a PS3 two or three times.  Hit the jump for more info.

*Edit – ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!! – In response to our hit numbers.

p_gallery32Sony has finally released details on its much hyped P-series netbook entry at the recent CES convention in Las Vegas, and it is a sexy little thing. Available in 4 colours (Black, White, Red, Green), it will run Vista out of the box, it has an ultra slim profile and sports a 8″ wide screen. All at a low low (remember this is Sony) price of $900 USD what more could you ask for?! Full specs and pictures after the jump.
