I think Sony had a good show at GamesCon. Im happy that they finally dropped the price on the PS3 and announced the already leaked PS3 slim. With that said, Im upset over how ugly the Slim really looks. I mean its cool that its ligher and smaller, but what the fuck is up with that horrible design. I already didnt really like the design of the normal one, but even that one looks head and shoulders above the Slim in terms of design.
