250GB PlayStation 3 coming this November

Sony has confirmed that it will launch 250GB PlayStation 3 Slim console in November this year. Back in August, Sony had announced PS3 Slim 120GB for $299 and now, 250GB HDD loaded PS3 Slim will cost $349 . North American consumers will be the first ones to get his 250GB PS3 Slim model from November 3 onwards.

The news about 250GB PS3 Slim model CECH-2000B was dug up on the same day when Slim was announced at GamesCon 2009 Expo. Sony PlayStation 3 Slim doesn't offer installing games on the hard drive. However, Sony is pushing PlayStation Network's 2300 movies through the video delivery service. Some of these are available in High Definition. The PS3 Slim won't have any game bundled for its U.S. consumers but for Europe region, Sony might bundle a game or may be two. The new PS3 Slim boasts of consuming 34 percent less power as compared with its previous generation model. PS3 Slim has new 45nm fab process manufactured Cell processor but runs at same clock speed. With built-in WiFi and USB Ports, the Hard Drive access has been made easy and doesn't give any warranty voiding fears. Both 120GB and 250GB PS3 Slim models would be on sale during the holiday seasons. Along with them, a number of much awaited game titles would be sold.
