When it first launched a couple of years back, the Sony Playstation 3 offered unprecedented power and gaming performance. In a bid to keep it fresh, Sony launched a new, slimmer Playstation 3. The components are pretty similar, but read on to find if i...

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...
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.
That said, the Sony PS3 Slim is still an impressive achievement, and it easily ranks among the best gaming consoles ever. Slimmer, neater and packed with features, it's definitely a must have. Best offers for the Sony Playstation 3 SlimMarks and Spence...

The PS3 Slim sees Sony hoping to invigorate sales of the Playstation 3 with a lighter and much less expensive model. No doubt the company views this as a chance to redeem the brand before it starts to look like a fat old aunt in the console war. For th...

Has Sony redeemed the PS3 brand? Regardless of the previously stated drawbacks, and the triumph of image over substance, the fact is that the PS3 Slim costs half of what the original PS3 cost when it first launched. It is also smaller, quieter and con...

Sonys remodeled PlayStation 3 (120GB) dropped a couple of dress sizes and $200 off the price of its predecessor, the original PlayStation 3. For $499, you can now have a first-class, BD-Live capable Blu-ray player with 1080p HDMI output, integrated Bluetooth and 802.11g, an upgradeable 120GB hard drive, Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1-channel Dolby Digital audio support, and Sonys monstrously powerful custom multiprocessing CPUs. Oh, and it plays PlayStation 3 games, too. The most significant internal...

The PS3 is dead, long live the PS4. Except the PS3 is so far from dead it's almost ridiculous. For one thing, there is a persistent rumour that when the PS4 launches, it will not be backwards compatible with PS3 games. That's not a hardship for most, as a...

As we write this Sony is gearing up to launch the PS4. That console will be out by the end of the year, we think. Does that mean you shouldn't buy a PS3 if you haven't already got one? Absolutely not, if you don't have one, you're missing out on a l...

Say hello to Sony's newest games console. Not ready to shepherd in the next generation with PS4 quite yet, the Japanese tech giant instead opts for a trimmed-down take on the PlayStation 3 - a 'super slim' model that makes even the last iteration of th...

Flimsy exterior, Cheap drive mechanism, Tough price point...
Where it does offer food for thought, though, is in the 12GB model's SSD. We think the 500GB model of super-slim is overpriced at £240/$300, in that all it really offers to the existing user base is more gigabytes to fill up. If you're struggling to mana...
