PS3 Slim Review

end of last month, Sony introduced the new iteration of its successful line of PlayStation 3, referred to as the PS3 Slim. Of course, like his older brother, PS2 Slim, the concept which is smaller than its predecessor. However, emergence of new stuff to the console, along with some deletions of controversy. PS3 Slim Overview New PS3 Slim with matte finish As you can see, it was much changed over the new console. Instead of the shiny black piano, has a matte finish. Many people do not like this better, but I do. This is due to the fact that the original PS3 was a magnet for dust and fingerprints. Hopefully the new fairs better than the original finish. PS3 “Fat” vs. PS3 Slim In addition to its goal of becoming different, this model also weighs a bit less, has real buttons instead of power sensors and run, and is not PSU switch on the back of the console. Not really a pro or con, just different. PS3 like others, will be the standard wireless controller, adapter, power cable and USB charging cable. The Good The new model comes with several improvements thanks to Sony. One of the most important would be the new CPU / GPU. The new processors are now in a 45 nm process and then use less energy. I have seen the numbers 70-100 watts less during the game compared to the 60GB model release. Therefore, the console can afford to be so small. Also likely to have a better future than the PS2 Slim due to heat problems that plagued her. Also, the new configuration, CPU and GPU, are said to be faster now, but I found a slight difference than the console menu, it seems smoother. This is something you can keep your eyes and probably in the afternoon. PS3 games have not yet maximized the current structure of the cell, so it’s a coin toss. The next addition favors the doubts that you can use the console as an entertainment machine. The audiophiles rejoice! PS3 now supports Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA audio. Those who do not have high-end receivers will be able to appreciate the benefit of the new audio formats. This really adds value to Blu-ray group who just want to watch movies. with the price of $ 299 is a good bit to get just that. Those of you, like me, who have noisy PS3 will also benefit. The new Slim model average is 10-15 dB quieter than its predecessor. This really helps those trying to watch movies. I would have to crank my speakers to compensate for the ridiculous amount of noise from the fan in the old PS3. My 40GB PS3 sounds like a jet aircraft taking off, this barrel has a slight hum. That is the point mentioned earlier that the CPU and GPU produces less heat. The new PS3 has a better unit, which makes the disc spins, while the disc early. You who have Xbox360 disk rings definitely appreciate this. The hard drive upgradeable to 120GB and interchangeable. notebook SATA drive fits into it. Since there are 500 GB drives out now, there is a lot of content. BRAVIA Sync is now in the new system. Those of you who will benefit the Sony TV that because it gives direct control over the remote control for your TV. Otherwise, is one of the smaller updates because most people have Vizio, Sharp, Samsung and television. I have a Bravia II 42 “LCD, so it’s a nice feature. The Bad Like the 40 and 80GB PS3 ™, this model has no PS2 compatibility. I’m sorry people, but those of you who actually play PS2 games on PS2 probably has a hand. I would say dig it out and plug it in, because I doubt that Sony has plans to resurrect the format. Compatibility with Linux has gone. These. 01% of you even thought about this as an important factor may be afraid to buy Slim, however, now running Linux on your computer is on, so I stick with it instead of your PS3. Something about an operating system that Linux does not make me mad to put it into a game console with a controller. I guess it would be better with a Bluetooth keyboard, but honestly, does not appear that the loss of all his paint. ; PS3 can not stand more vertically by default, because of downsizing and OH-s% @ T factor in swinging when it begins to rotate a disc. To make it vertical again, you have to pay for a booth at $ 24. I would wait until a third party who makes a cheap one. Personally, for me, it’s no problem. no SD or CompactFlash slots that PS3, as in the original PS3 version. Nevertheless, since the launch of PS3 40/80GB still a loss. your hard drive makes a sound stronger now, but it is more than a complaint from a concern (see above). results The main purpose for me to buy the new system has two main points: 1st does not sound like a generator 2nd Upgrading the hard drive Because of the fact that Sony wants $ 200 to repair his PS3, I got stuck in the middle. I do not play PS2 games, and really does not care about Linux. why it was worth it for me. I’d rather have a new system under warranty for a certificate. <; / p> So who wants it? depends on your situation. For those who do not have a PS3, do not see more . It is cheap, do not use much energy, does not sound like a flat-aid and have lots of gifts to keep you happy. It gives the Xbox a run for their money, because their party lists. And why that went to the PS3 is that online play is free. For those who want to install Linux, do not buy, because it obviously does not work (this goes for all five of you, buy a Dell 6 years on Craigslist to get the same results) ; PS2 players may want to stay away unless you have a PS2 practical work. Pros: larger hard drive features quieter and less heat back to audio files, better synchronization with Bravia televisions cheap Smaller and easier, especially for a Blu-ray player of this quality

Cons: Compatibility was a hit with the loss of PS2 Games and Linux can not stand on its own device is a bit stronger

, I recommend it. It’s hard to say who because most older people have a PS3 that does the same. But for those who want to come Start the PlayStation side of things, or want a media player, look no further. Score: 4 / 5
