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
Price
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
The biggest drawback on the Sony PS3 Slim is the lack of support for older Sony PS2 games. It seems to be completely unnecessary
And fails to take into account the thousands of PS2 owners who plan on upgrading while still wanting to play some of their older games.
Smaller and lighter, Energy efficient design, Comes with a powerful Bluray player, Hard drive can be easily changed, Builtin Bluetooth and WiFi, Faster installation
No real reduction in price, Fiddly disc access, Glossy finishing attract dust over the body, More USB ports should have been added, No Linux
Though most of us have our own viewpoint, for some PS3 Slim does not have much to offer and for some it is a whole new experience. Available in sleek curved simple body design, this new console enables the users to get access to a wide array of entertainm...
Abstract: After several leaks when the Sony Playstation 3 Slim (160 GB) finally got unveiled a month back, it showed up as a good mix of little surprises and a windfall dropped price. Tagged at minimum $249 or INR 12, 260.57, the PS3 has been redesigned to be 36 pe...
Abstract: To the casual observer, there’s nothing particularly slim about the new Sony PlayStation 3’s sleek black housing—it’s only when you compare it with its nearly three-year-old counterpart, the previous-gen PS3, that you see how much smaller it is. The bi...
As Blu-ray players go, the original PS3 was competitive at $400. At $300 with a slimmer profile and lower power consumption, the PS3 Slim (120GB) is arguably the one to beat. Factor in games, social networking features like PlayStation Home, music and...
Abstract: Sony has been under a lot of pressure ever since the PS3s release, the high price point being the prime reason. For years, gamers and developers have tried everything to get a price cut but Sony stood their ground. They believed that they are offering...

More affordable US$299 price; slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation; all games in high definition; easy-to-use interface; doubles as Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player; built-in Wi-Fi; 120GB hard drive; HDMI output with 1080p support; no exter...
Lacks backward support for PS2 games; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes arent compatible; online gaming, media, and commerce options still arent as fully developed as Xbox Live, though theyre getting better.

La PS3 Slim ne révolutionne pas la lecture Blu-ray de l'ancienne PS3 mais n'apporte que quelques nouveautés plus ou moins pratiques selon le degré d'exigence de l'utilisateur....

Impossible de lire les conteneurs MKV, Obligation de mettre les périphériques USB en FAT32, Consommation, WiFi G et pas N
Nous restons déçus de la PS3 Slim en tant que boîtier multimédia. Pourtant, avec un peu d'effort de la part de Sony, il est certain qu'elle puisse devenir une réelle rivale des meilleurs modèles actuels. En attendant, elle est reste vraiment loin d'êtr...
Abstract: Elle doit sauver son concepteur du marasme global dans lequel il se trouve actuellement. Sony Computer Entertainment perd de l’argent (295 millions pour le second trimestre 2009) et a vendu moins de PlayStation 3 qu’à la même...
