PS3 Weekend Warrior: PS3 Slim still flying high
August 30, 2009
Fallout from GamesCom’s big PS3 announcements continued to rain down on the PS3 blog this week. The PS3 Trim was still high in the jump counts, thanks to Sony putting its whole weight behind getting the word out to the masses with rebranding, ad campaigns, the works. It seems to be working too, as the Trim has reportedly sold out in some retailers even before the console’s official launch. Yep, I bet Sony guys are flying pretty damn high right now.
