Quote:An incomplete listing on retailer Kmart's website is promoting a PlayStation 3 Slim available starting August 24 for $299.Source: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/...ps3-slim/1
Touting the revelation on their home page earlier with the headline "The rumors are reality," the Kmart site details a slim version of the PS3 with a 120GB hard drive and DualShock 3 controller included. The home page promotion has now been removed.
Engadget reports a similar online listing appearing on the Sears website.
The listings adds to growing speculation that console developer Sony will introduce a slim model of the PlayStation 3 this year along with a cut in price. Currently, the PS3 is listed at $399.
TechCrunch, along with a variety of other gaming outlets, cite an ad run by retailer FYE detailing an 80GB PS3 for $299, and the 160GB model bundled with Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for $399.
Sony may provide more details later today during a press conference at GamesCom, the annual video game expo held in Cologne, Germany this week.
Readers, do you think the PS3 Slim is real? Will it attract more buyers?

I am getting one of these when they release. They are supposed to be out on the 24th of this month, but I doubt it.
