Pre-Order today!!!

The wait is over and a slimmer PS3 has arrived. It’s nearly 1/3 the size of what it used to be, and uses much less power (nearly 34% less), so you can game with an eco-friendly conscience as you annihilate your enemies and not the earth.

With a huge selection of PS3 titles available, you’ll enjoy the latest and greatest games, as well as a slew of amazing features that offer the ultimate entertainment experience:

• Large 120GB hard disk drive for storing games, music, videos and photos
• Built-in Wi-Fi
• Built-in Blu-ray player with DVD and CD playback
• Free PlayStation network membership
• An HDMI output for 1080p resolution on your compatible HDTV
• Includes a DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller

Now Canada needs the Movie download service...

I was just in a Canadian EB Games and they told me they haven't started taking pre orders for the SLIM yet... although the employee didn't really seem that knowledgeable

Well, The websites say you can pre-order. I guess EB games is just slow they will lose some pre-order sales because of that.
