Sony also said that it would be slashing the price of remaining full-size PlayStation 3 units, although it did not confirm how low the price would go.The new slimline PS3 – which had been the subject of rumours for months – will be around a third smaller and lighter and consume less energy than its predecessor. It will also sport a 120GB hard drive, but will not be able to play old games from earlier console models.PlayStation chief Kazuo Hirai made the announcement at the GamesCom conference in Cologne, in a move widely seen as an attempt to regain momentum in the battle against rivals Nintendo and Microsoft.
