$350 250GB PS3 hits US Nov. 3

Sony announced today it'll offer a 250GB version of its slimline PS3 for $350 in North America as of November 3. The announcement comes as expected after multiple stories suggesting the model would arrive sometime in October. The new system will be otherwise identical to the existing $300 120GB model, but offer slightly more than twice as much storage space.

 

"The PS3 platform is poised for a tremendous holiday season," said Sony Computer Entertainment America's Scott A. Steinberg, vice president of product marketing. "We kicked things off early with the new price point and sleek form factor and have continued the momentum with this week's launch of the universally acclaimed exclusive, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The new 250GB PS3 provides consumers with another compelling hardware option and speaks to the growing consumer appetite for digital content from the PlayStation Network -- particularly high-def content that showcases the power of the PS3 system."
