The Sony PS3 Slim is finally here. When subjected to a diet that once "fat" video game was a slim, trim cooler version of its original self-developed console is not much different than the original version.

The Slim is small, a lower price and has a 120GB HDD is this from the original's 80GB. It has the same features as the PS3 original yet consumes 34 percent less power. It also uses about 32 percent less space. A matte surface replaces the glossyblack finish of the original. This is an added bonus for those who have to worry about fingerprints and dust. However, if you like shiny things, all is not lost. There are a few of the side walls and gloss on the drive. A new PS3 logo is etched on the side.

The hard drive has been on the side of the system moved forward for better accessibility. If you choose, you can format the hard disk without the replacement warranty expires. Two screws and you are on yourWay.

The Slim measures 11.42 x 2.56 x 11.42 in relation to 12.75 x 10.8 x 3 .86 in the older PS3 measures.
The Slim weighs 7 pounds, while the original game in 11 pounds weighed in console. This makes it decrease in size and weight haulable from room to room or place to place. The touch-sensitive on / off and disc eject buttons have with real buttons that light up when the console has been replaced.

The Slim has a smaller and more energy-efficient 45nm version of theCell processor. The original had a 60nm Cell processor. This has cut energy consumption by two thirds and has the quieter fan noise than before. The PS3 Slim has built-in Wi-Fi and two USB ports. The Slim has a Blu-Ray drive. The Blu-ray drive for movies as well, games are used. It has a free online gaming service, and a built-in Web browser.

The new Bravia Sync system would have on them. If you have a Sony TV, this is an added bonus, because they allow direct control ofYour console with the TV remote control. For those who do not own a Sony TV, this update is not too important.

Slim maintains backward compatibility with PlayStation 1 games, but just like the original it is not the backward compatibility for PS2 games. Means that you can not play PS2 games on the Slim. Sony says this feature is off the table entirely. For some, this is disappointing. Players who enjoy it have their PS2 games to with the help of two to continueSystems.

It is not possible to install an alternative operating system. The slim does not have infrared port. Which means non-Bluetooth universal remotes are not compatible with PS3 Slim.

The Slim can stand vertically or horizontally. The Slim tend to be less stable when spinning a disc. You can buy the optional stand, if you plan to do want it. Or your own makeshift stand. This is not a big problem with some players.

If you do not have a PS3Console and found the original's price tag was a bit too much to handle for your money, then now is your time. The Slim is cheaper, easier (it will be easier to move from room to room), less power than before, and offers free online play.
