Electronics giant Sony said on July 6 it will introduce an upgraded PlayStation 3 videogame console in Japan at the end of July, with a bigger memory and a new white version on offer.
The company will sell a 160-gigabyte model for 29,980 yen (341 dollars), the same price at which the Tokyo-based Company had previously offered its 120-gigabyte console, it said in a statement. It will also introduce a 320-gigabyte model for 34,980 yen. Both models will be available from July 29 in Japan. Sony did not indicate world-wide release plans in the statement.
The devices let PS3 play be controlled with swings, jabs and other natural movements instead of toggle-and-button commands that have been trademarks of play on PS3 and rival Xbox 360 consoles by Microsoft. Microsoft's Kinet technology will use a 3-D camera and gesture recognition software to let people play videogames using natural body movements instead of hand-held controllers.
