As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the PlayStation 3 Slim an even more versatile home entertainment machine. 32% smaller, 36% lighter and consuming 34% less power than the originals, this latest edition of the PlayStation 3 has been completely redesigned for a much more streamlined feel. Features such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a powerful gaming console.
Under the Hood
The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That makes the PlayStation 3 40 times faster than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience. This console also provides for a sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. A pre-installed 120 GB hard disc drive allows you ample room to save games as well as download content from the internet.
Blu-Ray Is the New Way
Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power.

All the other reviews are more or less spot on regarding this console, but be warned - although it WILL play PS1 games, the new slimline version WILL NOT play PS2 titles - something that annoyed me quite a bit (especially as I did not find this out until I got it home).
Ok, for me this wasn't a dealbreaker - I still would have gotten it anyway, but sadly I have to still keep my PS2 out and set up for PS2 titles when I would have liked to have removed it and just had the one console.
Also, MAKE SURE your TV is fully compatible too - mine isn't sadly, meaning i'll have to get a new TV soon - another thing I'm not happy about.
Bear these things in mind before making a purchase (This is not a cheap console).
It also only has the two USB sockets, and not the other various sockets that the old version had.
On the plus side tho, it's smaller, doesn't quite resemble a waste paper bin when on its side (but you WILL need a seperate stand for this one), it has Wi-Fi (Unlike the old Xbox 360), and it's VERY quiet (Unlike the old Xbox 360).
All in all, great - but not perfect.

| This is the best console i have ever had. i bought the origional 60GB version model on launch day and i didnt have any problems with it, then when the ps3 slim come out i gave my 60GB to my brother and bought the slim and i have never looked back since. The sonsole is so reliable you can count on it NOT to brake. my friend bought a 360 and he's been through 5 of them before getting a PS3 and he has never looked back at getting it. why buy a console with a 56% brake down rate when you can have a PS3, the graphics are alot better and it is ALOT more powerfull than the 360. If your thinking about getting a PS3 get one, you will be in love with it. Happy Gaming.... |
Best Console out there! Buy It Now!

| Got this after I got the Yellow Light Of Death on my 60GB PS3 FAT. So far so good works perfectly, quieter then the fat a lot quieter. It also doesnt get as hot and has vents at the back instead of the front and side unlike the old PS3S. No dust should enter the system at all thanks to the vents being at the back. The Ps3 120GB is also a few seconds faster when playing games and loading which is also good. It uses less energy and is very very light and a lot smaller. It is the best cnsole out there but be warned. This system could still get the Yellow Light Of Death so after the one year warranty does run out get a new arranty on it because it is worth it. Also back up your data frequently because I got the YLOD of death on my FAT PS3 and my disc was stuck in had to take the system apart and my warranty ran out. So on this system back up all the time and make sure your covered just in case the Yellow Light Of Death shiould not happen but it could in the future. Overall the PS3 slim is a massive upgrade in both gaming and watching Blu Ray films, quieter and smaller this is the best PS3 system released so far and with 3D gaming and Blu Ray coming dont miss out on the best console on the planet! |

| Exclusives on this console for me are on a higher plane than the xbox 360, what it comes down to for me is realism, and exclusive games like killzone 2 just look and sound real, i've played the xbox 360 and in my opinion while it's not far off the ps3 it seems slightly more arcady to me, often sharper colours and textures but missing that little extra that makes the games come to life, Sony's blu-ray intergration and the processor has alot to do with this. Obviously if you want fun and don't care about these things go for the Wii, it's good for what it is. But if you want the most realistic looking games with free online and a blu ray disk player for good measure, buy this console it won't dissappoint. |
