Looks a lot better than the original.

According to an update from Kotaku, it sounds like it comes with a Sixaxis controller, not a DS3. Which is... disappointing. Seems like Sony is going to maintain the Sixaxis as some kind of "value" controller under their "premium" DS3, instead of quietly forgetting about it like the embarrassment it was.

Of course, it also sounds like that's the direction they're leaning in North America, with the 120+ GB unit getting the DS3 and the 40gb keeping the Sixaxis. Lame.

I read on IGN its limited to 10,000.

Very cool. It's good to see Sony drop the price on those games.

There is a possibility those games will sell very well, maybe back in japan's top 20?

 A striped design would suit it better; it slims you down according to Obelix

i hope they don't release those ugly boxarts in the UK!

From a business point of view, they dont have to do anything at the the moment; consumers are snapping up games for the already lower price on the wii. I imagine a nintendo line up will come sometime later this year perhaps, Zelda and MP3 are obvious choices.

I was really hoping for a bundle including the new SKU...
