Sony had itself quite a day yesterday, effectively reinvigorating the PlayStation brand with the $300 PS3 Slim and a host of upgrades and updates to the PSP, the PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Network. Now that the dust has settled, we thought we’d throw down a little recap in case you didn’t catch it all — it’s clear that the lower-priced Slim has a lot of people talking about finally buying a PS3, but we think things like PSP Minis “snackable” games and the new PS3 firmware 3.0 might be equally important in the long run. Here’s the full breakdown:
