Just a reminder to those living in North America that the 250Gb PS3 hit shops today.

The box is loaded with not only the console that “does everything” and a bag of chips, but a controller and AV cables all for $349.

Consider this your public service announcement for the day.

Thanks, GamingBits.

Sony has officially announced the availability of a new PS3 Slim with a 250Gb hard drive hitting store shelves on November 3.

It will run you $349.99.

See for yourself over on the US PS Blog.

And we just got a 160Gb fatty last month. We’ll go cry in the corner now.

Another retailer in the UK has confirmed to Eurogamer that consumers can soon expect a 250Gb PS3 Slim Bundle, going to far as to call it a “definite for October”.

The source, who asked to remain nameless, said its suppliers didn’t know “which game or games will be combined with the console”, but that Sony plans to unveil all at TGS later in the month.

This new bit of confirmation lends possible credence to earlier reports during the week of Assassin’s Creed II, Gran Turismo 5 and Uncharted 2 bundles.

Still, keep it as rumor until an official announcement is made by Sony.

A source close to Eurogamer has confirmed reports earlier in the week that PS3 Slim bundles will be made available this year in the UK, and maybe as soon as October.

The Slim in question will be 250GB and will include either Assassin’s Creed II, Gran Truismo 5, or Uncharted 2 for £299.99.

According to the anonymous retail source, the October bundle will be Uncharted 2, and the one with Assassin’s Creed 2 is to be released in November. With Sony officially stating GT5′s to be released sometime during Q4 2009 – that bundle is due between October and December.

Sony has yet to comment at this time, but the source says that an announcement will be made soon.
