Sony Corporation has planned to launch an upgraded version of the PlayStation 3 coming November, according to a statement made by a spokesperson of Sony Computer Entertainment America. There were rumors circulating that it would be released sometime in October. At $350, it’s slightly more expensive than it’s counterpart which was priced at $300. The price has been reduced from $400 in August, which was originally decided upon.
This new PlayStation 3 250GB is being launched keeping in mind the festivities that take place during this time of the year in every part of the world. Sony hopes that the slightly higher price would not deter the consumers from buying this product, as generally during festive seasons people are in the mood of splurging.
The new Sony PlayStation 3 will be more or less identical to it’s older counterpart. It will contain more storage space than the former model; at 250GB, it will have a little more than double the space of older PlayStation. It will be able to store more games, movies, installations, applications, photographs and music. Everything has to be downloaded from Sony’s online PlayStation network. The extra storage will make the PlayStation more user friendly, as the users would no longer have to keep deleting content or store these files somewhere else when there is need for more space.
The improved Sony PlayStation 3′s North America launch is not the first launch, though. The same product was launched in Spain a few days back. It was also loaded with Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 2. Australia too is to get it’s new version of Sony PlayStation soon.
