If you haven’t been following video game news recently then you may have missed a couple of key announcements from two big players in the industry. First off, Sony announced a redesigned PlayStation 3 console aptly named the PS3 Slim. As you might have guessed from the name the size of the console has been tweaked down a bit, and so has the price… beginning September 1st you’ll be able to pick one up for $300. Apparently September 1st isn’t an official release date, as PlayStation Guide Roger Altizer points out here , you might be able to pick one up now. Microsoft, in swift fashion has now lowered prices on the Xbox 360 consoles. Beginning August 28th you’ll be able to pickup an Xbox 360 Elite for $300 as well. Other versions of the Xbox 360 have been lowered also. Turns out the struggling economy may be just what the doctor ordered to make video game consoles more affordable. And without a doubt, this will make holiday dreams for many a bit more accessible. Where is Nintendo in all of this you ask? Sitting pretty at number one watching Sony and Microsoft battle to the death.
