PlayStation 3 Slim review

 

Even before Sony's big unveil earlier this month at Cologne GamesCom, it felt like we already knew the PlayStation 3 Slim quite intimately. A leak from back in...

Playstation 3 20GB (PAL)

 

As you all know by now, the design of the Playstation 3 is shiny black, yes it does pick up your finger prints if you are moving it around a lot, but personally I'm not and I think it is better looking in many ways compared to the Xbox 360. I also feel...

Excellent Design ; Runs cool ; Free Online

Lack of good games ; Mediocre online

So overall it is a mixed bag, the hardware behind the Playstation 3 is excellent there is no doubt about that and over time I am sure that developers will get used to the Cell processor and produce some really great stuff with it, but a year since its...

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB) review: Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB)

 

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB)

More affordable $299 price; slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use interface; doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player; built-in Wi-Fi; 120GB hard drive; HDMI output with 1080p support; no...

Lacks backward support for PS2 games; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible; online gaming, media, and commerce options still aren't as fully developed as Xbox Live, though they're getting better.

With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim 500GB (PS3 Slim) Review

 

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim 500GB (PS3 Slim) is the latest revamped gaming console. It comes with amazing specifications.

• Smaller and lighter ; • Energy efficient design ; • Comes with a powerful Blu-ray player ; • Hard drive can be easily changed ; • Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi ; • 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...

Review: Playstation 3 Slim

 

The Playstation 3 was in bad need of a re-vamp and here it is – thinner and smaller by about a third is a good start, but a cheaper price was even more important. With recent rumours that Xbox 360 users have been ditching their Microsoft consoles in...

In terms of performance, the PS3 Slim packs a mighty punch. Whilst content is still an issue and some may not like the re-design, this is definitely a console for the future. Content will improve greatly and Sony are working on various technologies,...

Sony PLAYSTATION 3 (160GB SLIM) - null

 

After my XBOX 360 got the dreaded "Red Ring of Death" 3 times over the first two and a half years, I started to get worried with the warranty coming up, so I decided to sell it and get a PS3 instead. I've always been an XBOX guy, so I was a little...
