PS3 Slim gets a bit slimmer

MCV Staff 10th March 2010 Publishing

Two new revisions to Sony’s PS3 that are expected to hit the market in March will offer a surprise new feature – less weight.

Andriasang reports that the new SKUs will weight exactly 3kg – 200g lighter than the current PS3 Slim’s 3.2kg. The new models will sport the serial numbers CECH-2000A and CECH-2100A.

Hardware revisions are common and the weight reduction likely stems from one or two internal component changes.

In the name of science, MCV can confirm that 200g is exactly the same weight as 200 paper clips or 200 one dollar notes.
