Well, we've heard the rumors and the retail leaks, and now it's official: there's a 40GB Playstation 3 coming on October 10th. It's only official for Europe as of now, with a €399 pricetag, but it's pretty safe to assume we'll be getting the same thing soon enough. The catch? No memory card reader, only two USB ports, and no PS2 backward compatibility. Is this the pricepoint Sony needed to hit to finally make the PS3 affordable? Will you be making the plunge now despite the lack of backwards compatibility? Between this and some good games finally coming out, the PS3 might just start moving some units

This is the new Hitachi New Style TV, a 32" LCD television that is not only ultra-thin at 0.75-inch (1.9cm) thick, but looks absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately, it's just a prototype of the final model, which will come in 2009. Sony better hurry up scaling up
