Tokyo Game Show is always an exciting time for gamers everywhere, as we all look forward to new games and other news being unveiled during the show. This year is no exception.

The new PS3 will be available in two different models, with 250GB and 500GB HDDs which will allow you to store even more of your digital life.

In order to maintain the superior gaming experiences that you expect from us here at PlayStation, we are always looking for ways to change and evolve with your gaming behavior. You might remember the smaller models that we launched for PlayStation 2 and PSP (PlayStation Portable), and we know that many of you love the opportunity to add these streamlined models to your home. Additionally, as developers continue to release deep and rich digital gaming content, providing an option for larger HDD is essential, especially for games with large DLC packs, and full game downloads, as well as personal entertainment content. The biggest and best games live on PS3 this holiday season, and the new PS3 is the perfect way to play.<\/p>\n

We are also excited to announce that the launch of this new PS3 model will include incredible additional value.

In case you somehow missed it, UNCHARTED 3: Drake\u2019s Deception is the latest installment in Naughty Dog\u2019s storied UNCHARTED franchise that chronicles the adventures of Nathan Drake. UNCHARTED 3: Drake\u2019s Deception Game of the Year Edition is a great way to kick off your gameplay experience on the newest PS3 model.<\/p>\n

UNCHARTED 3: Drake\u2019s Deception Game of the Year Edition will also be available as a standalone title on September 25th for $39.99 (MSRP).\"New<\/p>\n
