BANGALORE: Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) is set to launch the new PlayStation3 computer entertainment system, featuring a streamlined form factor with a 120 GB hard disk drive (HDD). The new system will be available in India in the last week of November, 2009 at a retail price Rs 19,990.
 
The internal design architecture of the new PS3 system, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body. Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds. 
 
The new PS3 continues to offer features and functions of the current models, such as the ability to enjoy high-definition Blu-ray disc (BD) movies and games, as well as various content and services downloadable through the network.
