Sony sells 40,000 PS3 Slims in two and a half weeks down under-February 2024

  TOKYO--Following on from Sony Computer Entertainment's keynote address at Tokyo Game Show '09, the Australian arm of SCE announced that the PlayStation 3 120GB, commonly referred to as the PS3 Slim, managed to sell 40,000 units in its first two and a half weeks of sales (September 3-20). Interestingly, 21,000 of those units were sold during the first four days of sales alone.

  The PS3 Slim hasn't even been on sale for a full month, but that hasn't stopped SCE Australia from announcing new bundles for the unit. Launching on the 15th of November, a new PS3 Slim revision will be coming out that will ship with a copy of Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves and will include a 250GB hard disk drive. The bundle will retail for A$599.95, which is A$100 more than the current 120GB PS3 Slim that comes with no games. Later on down the line Sony AU plans to release three more bundles, featuring a copy of Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time, EyePet, or SingStar Motown.

  Pre-TGS rumours indicated that a 250GB HDD revision might include a PlayTV personal video recorder adaptor, but at this stage Sony has made no such announcement. No updated release dates were announced for the PVR adaptor, PlayStation Network Video on Demand, or ABC iView.

  Stay tuned to GameSpot AU for any more Aussie-specific announcements and more from the Tokyo Games Show 2009.
