Feel in the mood for some armchair sport with this cracking deal on Topspin 3 for the PS3, down to £15 with free delivery at Send It!

Sony has put its flagship console the Playstation 3 on a diet; they’ve announced a new Slim version that’s two-thirds of the size and weight of the original (and improved energy efficiency means it’ll even cut down on your electricity bill).

The new PS3 Slim will come with largely the same features as the older version, with 120 GB of storage and the ability to sync with Bravia TVs over HDMI. Linux enthusiasts may mourn the ability to install an alternative operating system and, as with the last PS3 refresh, Sony have omitted the flash memory card reader, half of the USB ports & backward compatibility with PS2 games.

It’ll sell at £249.50, a big drop from current prices: the 80GB model of its weightier older brother is available from £294 at present, although Sony have said remaining stock will see a price drop.

The PlayStation 3 Slim will go on sale from the 1st of September, as will an optional stand for those who prefer their consoles in a vertical position.

Just a quickie on what we might be fighting in shops for this Christmas - The old, familiar Wii Christmas shortage is back. US games retailer GameStop predicts the shortage unless Nintendo has a massive increase in supply in the next couple of weeks. It’s unknown as to whether this will lead to shortages here in the UK but we can use wii-consoles.co.uk to stay up-to-date on the situation.

But if you don’t fancy a Wii, both the Xbox and PS3 seem to be in plentiful supply…Check out the games console reviews to find out what people think about them all.
