According this release, Sony is to release their new PS3 console on September 3rd. The new PS3 has internal 120GB HDD, and reduced 33% in thickness and 36% in weight. Power consumption is also reduced to 2/3. The recommended retail price will be $299 USD. The price of ongoing PS3 will also be reduced from August 18.

There's a lot of popular series coming such as "Final Fantasy XIII", "Mobilesuit Gundam Battlefield Record U.C.0081", "Tales of Vesperia", "428 - In the blockaded Shibuya".
