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

No HDMI

Less bulky form factor; quieter than previous models; lower price tag
Cheaper-looking finish than previous versions; incompatible with universal remote controls

The new PlayStation 3 offers all the HD gaming and movie goodness of the original at a lower price. Serious gamers should still opt for the Xbox, but for as an all-round media player. Its a bargain.
