PS3

COMPARED TO PLAYSTATION 3 "FAT"
A LOT SMALLER
I heard that it was smaller, but seeing is believing! The photos don't do the system justice, and it's not really till you see and feel the difference that you are impressed with it. If you can, go into your local game store and check it out for yourself! If you've previously owned a Playstation console, you already know the difference the slimmer version makes when compared to the original, bulky ones. What's really convenient is that the slimmer PS3 not only means your video gaming is more portable, but that you have a really convenient Blu-Ray player.

NOT A FINGERPRINT MAGNET
I love the sleek look of my PS3 Fat, but don't like how it constantly needs to be cleaned. The glossy finish is a fingerprint magnet! The matte finish on the Slim is much easier to maintain. That being said, it doesn't look as shiny and cool, but I think its convenience outweighs that.

MORE STORAGE
Storage was never an issue for me on my 80GB system, but for those who wanted more storage, you get 40GB more with this system (120GB in total). It may not seem like much, but you can hold MANY movies, pictures, and music albums with 120GB. If that's still not enough, you can always install a 2.5" hard drive yourself, or better yet, plug in an external hard drive in one of the USB ports. You can easily get a portable 500GB external hard drive for less than $100, or a bigger, bulkier one with around 1TB of storage for roughly the same. That being said, I think 120GB for $300 should be more than enough for most users, and is a significant improvement over the 80GB for $400 that people were paying just a few weeks ago!

STILL NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE
This is my one major gripe with the Playstation 3. It really wouldn't have killed Sony to include this feature, as the original Playstation 3's did in fact include backwards compatibility with older Playstation 2 games. A lot of people counter by either saying (1) it doesn't make sense to buy a PS3 to play PS2 games, (2) the graphics on the PS3 are better anyway so why bother with older games, and (3) including backwards compatibility would cannibalize PS3 game sales.

I was not disappointed. The system is amazing. The blue ray player is outstanding. The games are so worth it. One thing I cannot stress enough is to do some research on the games before you buy them. Some of the games are not worth paying full price, and you might be better off getting them used or just renting them. Some games are not even worth your time. Even though the ps3 slim is NOT backwards compatible with ps2 games, lets be honest. This PS3 makes me very impressed with the quality of the product and the price was right. The small size is a plus and it is very quiet. There are no negatives that I have encountered.

I have to say, I have not been a fan of Sony products for a long time. When the Playstation 3 was realeased I was shocked by the price, size, and poor library of games for the unit. So, needless to say, I am not one that ever thought I would be buying this system. I am SO glad I did. It has worked great (time will still tell) and it connects well to the internet. I love the new look, very sleek and fits well into our entertainment center. The Blu-Ray player also works very well.

 

Its quiet and dependable, you dont have to worry about paying for internet Game play online, its free!!!!!!!!! And you can also browse the intenet from your TV you must have an internet connection broadband wireless. Very happy I bought a PS3.

Get the PS3 slim if you are a gamer or you will miss out a lot of all those great games people will talk about for generations after this one! and I hope this Review was helpful for you guys !
