The styling of the Sony PS3 Slim is a 100 per cent improvement on the original PS3. The original console may have been powerful
But it was also big and bloated
And looked out of place when sat alongside the latest slimline HD TVs. The slim Playstation 3 features a much thinner chassis
And also gets a smarter matt black finish. Gaming was always an issue for the original PS3
And this is anothe
Less bulky form factor
Quieter than previous models
Lower price tag
Blu-ray player
Works as a media hub
Quiet

The editors didn't like
No PS2 compatibility
A bit loud
Drive cover is a bit cheap and flimsy
Still not quite "cheap"
Flimsy exterior
Cheap drive mechanism
Tough price point
Slightly plasticky feel. Slightly worse CD audio playback. Better games on Xbox 360
Online play still no match for the Xbox Live
Cant play PS2 games
The still missing PS2 support
Cheap design
Price
No HDMI

As we write this Sony is gearing up to launch the PS4. That console will be out by the end of the year, we think. Does that mean you shouldn't buy a PS3 if you haven't already got one? Absolutely not, if you don't have one, you're missing out on a l...

Where it does offer food for thought, though, is in the 12GB model's SSD. We think the 500GB model of super-slim is overpriced at £240/$300, in that all it really offers to the existing user base is more gigabytes to fill up. If you're struggling to mana...

That said, the Sony PS3 Slim is still an impressive achievement, and it easily ranks among the best gaming consoles ever. Slimmer, neater and packed with features, it's definitely a must have. Best offers for the Sony Playstation 3 SlimMarks and Spence...
Has Sony redeemed the PS3 brand? Regardless of the previously stated drawbacks, and the triumph of image over substance, the fact is that the PS3 Slim costs half of what the original PS3 cost when it first launched. It is also smaller, quieter and con...
