How pretty… the Satin Silver PS3. Will cost ¥39,980 (around $374) when available on March 6th in Japan with a silver ¥5,500 (around $51) DualShock 3 controller. The only available HD is 40GB… Sadly

We have heard rumors that there is an all new Sony PS3 which slims down to a nice portable console. The rumor could be true because of Sony’s past of releasing the PSX and PS2 Slim. We say that this will not come out in the near future that is because of the drastic changes that would need to be done to slim the current model. A redesigned PS3 most likely will come in to play in late 2009.

We think this is just about as bad as a fake can get. The PX-3600 has 9-pin controller ports used for the Atari 2600 and Commodore Vic-20. One of the included controllers has vibration and the other does not. We are not sure what games it will play but we guess SNES and NES roms. Some games are included but are not listed on the product page. We say stick with a real Xbox.

Sony just discontinued their 80GB PS3 and now there is talk that there is a 120GB PS3 that will be available soon. Electronista says that Sony is going to maintain its two-unit strategy for the PS3 and will sell the console with additional storage, most likely 120GB. Rumors also say that the new PS3 version will come bundled with a Dual Shock 3 controller.

Was that fast or what? Just after a day of knowing that the 80GB PS3 would be discontinued, Best Buy has taken it off of their web site. We do know that some stores are still selling the rest of their stock. Most likely at a discount price.

When you first look at the Lipljan YDPG69 you may say that is a handheld gaming gadget. Wrongo. It is a PMP that runs Windows CE 5.0 and supports JPEG, BMP, GIF, MP3, MP4, DivX, XviD, AVI, ASF, MPEG4 and WMV. Also, features a 3-inch QVGA display and dual D-pads, with out a keyboard we would like to know how we would use this for anything productive. The PMP is currently a concept, so we hope they change it for the better.
