New Super Slim PS3 to be released 12th October – but only has 12GB of memory…
on September 19th, 2012 at 3:00 pmConsidering that the majority of PS3 games require mandatory installs, (with some taking up as much as 4-5GB), one has to ask what’s the point as users will have to keep un-installing and re-installing their games, as those with a PS3 know is a tedious process.
Granted Sony is also releasing a separate dedicated 250GB hard drive that can be installed in the machine, although once installed the console’s internal 12GB storage will no longer be accessible.
Also at £185 it’s far too much. With only 12GB of memory, and considering you can now get a PS3 Slim for only a fraction more than that, £99-£120 would have been far more reasonable.
There will be a 500GB version of the Super Slim costing £249.99, but again it’s just far too much given that the next generation is just around the corner and that the Nintendo WiiU is only a month or so away from launch.
I guess Sony still haven’t learned anything from overpricing their products. With that in mind I’d expect the PS4 to around the £400+ price mark.









This is purely a profit thing for Sony. It’s not that cheap to buy, but I’m guessing it’s very cheap to manufacture.
Sony need all the money they can get from the PlayStation brand at the moment.
