Sony has confirmed a new stand alone 250GB PlayStation slim model, to be released next month.

The new hardware will launch on November 3, and will sell for $349.99 in North America.

"The PS3 platform is poised for a tremendous holiday season," offered Scott Steinberg, vice president of product marketing for Sony US.

"The new 250GB PS3 provides consumers with another compelling hardware option and speaks to the growing consumer appetite for digital content from the PlayStation Network – particularly high-definition content that showcases the power of the PS3 system."

The new model is the same form factor as the recently released 120GB slim model, and is aimed at consumers looking for more storage for digital content.
