Super Slim New Design PlayStation 3 Out This Friday

Five years on from the release of the game-changing PlayStation 3 the console is still going strong [it doesn't look like the PS4 will be with us any time soon] and Sony have rejuvinated it ahead of the Christmas rush with a sleak and slim new design.

The growing PlayStation Network is likely to welcome a few new gamers by the time Santa's done his rounds this year with the slim and seductive 500GB New Design PS3 dropping in the UK on Friday [September 28] and the family friendly 12GB version landing on October 12.

Half the size of the original PlayStation 3, the New Design console boasts double the hard-drive for all your gaming, streaming and listening needs. Check-out the console's evolution in its five years below.
