Ps3 Maven

PS3 Specs and Video Released

The official announcement of the September 1st release for the new PS3 Slim has finally been made and now the official PS3 Specs and unboxing video have also surfaced.

The video below shows the new PS3 SLim alone and next to the regular Playstation 3 console we have grown so familiar with. The entire PS3 Slim specs provided by Sony take us into the nitty gritty, but one thing is for sure…a larger hard drive: 120 GB instead of 80GB.

While everyone is excited at the new Sony PS3 Slim news, we would love to hear feedback about how you really feel about the new design. It is certain people will be happy with the price cut, but what about how it looks.
