UK shoppers will have two buying options: a 500GB model that arrives on 28th September, or a 12GB flash memory model that arrives on 12th October.

The 12GB flash memory model will be standalone hardware and cost €229.99. A dedicated 250GB hard-drive will be released at the same time. A vertical stand will also be available - does that mean the new console can't stand upright unaided?

UK prices aren't given, because Sony no longer sets shop prices here. So price will be dictated by individual shops.
€299.99 tends to translate to around £279.99, and €229.99 will probably become £199.99. Roughly the price of a Wii U, in other words, which poses a conundrum for shoppers this Christmas.

HMV is first to show its hand. There, a 12GB super duper slim PS3 will cost £184.99, and a 500GB super duper slim PS3 will cost £249.99.
GAME prices are the same, a rep told Eurogamer. But if you trade-in a "selected" console, you could discount the 500GB model by as much as half price. There's no trade-in offer on the 12GB model.
Helping fight Sony's corner against the Wii U will be a new PS3 Essentials - budget - range of games, which will tie-in with the PS3 super duper slim launch. In shops, Essentials cost €19.99; to download, if available, these cost €14.99.
