The slim, although more affordable, is an ugly little hunk of shit. The original PS3 made it's presence as a gaming machine known. It took up so much space it was impossible to ignore. The slim looks stupid too. I like the glossy finish on my 80 gig. Plus, I can just put a 120GB(or bigger) in my current PS3 and have the same thing. And no, the description is wrong. Sony won't win the console wars. No one has held the reigns for three generations. This generation, it might go back to Nintendo.
It's already out in some stores. September 1st was just a "guideline", whatever the hell that means. I'm trading my old 40 gig + 2 games for this. Great deal I think.
I dont' t see how PS3 and Xbox 360 fanboys have to fight about which ones better. Both systems are pretty much the same both have there own ups and there own downs. I'm getting a PS3 for christmas!
does any one think that the slim will be worse for some reason like cheaper gear and stuff. me i think it will be better getting one when it comes out already have a 40gb. also i heard it will have a new media bar so sweet
i don't have a ps3 and i apologize for my ignorance, what's the rca video cables for? does it work on regular television? and hdmi cables, do you buy it separately?
rca cables work on reg TVs. hdmi cables are seperate and only use for hdmi monitor or HDTVs. hdmi cables is needed because on an HDTV, you will sense a controller lag meaning u push one button and a second later it registers. HDMI cables will fix this on HDTVs
Hmmm i just hope a PS3 emulator comes out within the next year... ALL my consoles are emulated, such as ps2, dreamcast, saturn, ps1 and all classics ect.. and yes i do use real disc for them.
to me the "Razer Mamba" is the best controller ever made, tho it is $130 it was worth it...the best ive ever owned...with the highest DPI and worlds FIRST wireless. (For what it does)
It is as cheap as it is because the Sony's manufacturing department found a way to cut cost without undermining the system. And being that Blue Ray is the new standard for High definition movies, over time, the parts become cheaper for the Blue Ray drive.
This war has come to an end ps3 has won!!!! Price drops mean more newer customers which mean more PSN online ids ( more people playing online) and now this man O man did Sony do it big.... 360 I'm sorry I never trusted you ps3 is the system to have... R.I.P
this is the console that ive been waiting for so long,now im gonna buy this newborn ps3 slim,this will beat the fucking shit of the 360 and this will get more sales than the 360 mhuahahahahahahahaa
o yeahhh? well it cant beat the shit out of my Alienware M17x laptop, with DUAL nVidia 280m's in SLI, i mean.. just one of my cards will kick the PS's ASS all over gameland, and its a laptop.. mhuahahahahahahaha
overpriced, if you go all out, i got msotly stock and will upgrade myself... your asus is weak.. and what.. you think your pice of crap brand isnt?? and a 260m??? please...
thats your opinion but each of the flatforms have their own capable abilities but yeah many people buy pc for internet,research,gaming and some other stuff but pc will never beat a console for its gaming entertainment purposes and thats why console is still alive and adding some originalities that pc dont have,so i bet that it will be better than pc in the sooner future,everything is unexpected and unpredictable so dont underestimate the value of these consoles
You've got to be kidding, I mean I'm definitely a PS3 guy but I don't kid myself, when it comes to gaming quality PC's wins hands down. Consoles are limited by the hardware they are made up of whereas PC's are easily upgradeable so developers aren't held back (to a certain degree of course) with PC's .
well pc can be upgraded so easily,but the developers are making sure that their consoles are more upgraded than its previous one and yeah maybe in the quality but nothing beats what the entertainment that the consoles have given to their consumers,and their controls will beat the pc's mouse
smart, i agree and disagree, first off you can use a PS3 or xbox controller on a PC, also it depends on what games when you speak of Mouse and keyboard being better respectivly.There is just no way in HELL a controller is better than a mouse and keyboard when it comes to FPS. you will get owned. the controller isnt fast enough for games like that.Any PC gamer will agree 110% i tried Crysis with the 360 controller the other day and it was terrible...
im not talking about the controller of the present day like the 360 controller or the present ps3 controller,but the future motion controllers they will be better than the mouse but they will take it slowly but seriously and about the gaming developing well yeah the console games are developed by the pc but i have no doubt that they will make something that dont rely on pc,well its just my predictions and opinions i apologize if someone are offended by my comments
oh my bad, i thought u meant regular controllers, dont get me wrong they are way better for certain games, i meant that repectivly as to the mouse and board, now on the other hand, yep.. i actually think that natal project for 360 is pretty dope, i head it was comming to the PC so i'll trying that out when it comes out.
i know bro, i was just impying to the fact of what you said.. and i quote "consoles are no match for pc FOR NOW"
This will never happen, and people here shouldnt be mislead. and if you speak about originalities... yeah i'll give you that, some games are cosole exclusive only.. but still, developed on a PC.
YES! The hdd can be upgraded. That's the main thing that made me a little iffy about getting this but now I'm 100% going to get this. I could almost cry lol, but yeah, this and all the renovations they are doing to PSN is definitely going to push Sony ahead in sales.
yeah my good ole launch 60gig is a 380W clunker, the slim is now down to 250W. Good work Sony! I might get this one for another room.
Funny that the 360 is now the heaviest, fattest console and it still needs a power brick, not to mention it has IGN's recently reported 54% failure rate.
I CAME seriously! i got already my old PS3 with 80 gygabytes hardrive and it rocks! 2 years and i never had any problems with this awesome system, now PS3 SLIM looks awesome, thin more hard drive space, and save a huge amount of light almost 40 % !!! i want this now !!!!! oh and my PSP go for Christmas 4 sho! PD. not a fanboy i ad already a xbox 360 was good but PS3 is far better, and finally im a hardcore PC gamer ! l8rs!
you CAME. haha i love that past tense phrase. my ps3 is practically brand new so im just gonna trade that one in for the slim one. didnt think it would happen this quick.
I love it. This thing is going to sell like ice water in the middle of the desert. I have an original 60 and I will most certainly get this too. I'm on my 4th 360 from 3 red rings and microsoft is going to lose this war due to shotty hardware and sony has done their homework and made a reliable system.
I am by no means a Sony fanboy, I own all the latest consoles and alot of older ones too. At $299, this is a wonderful value right out of the box. The wireless adapter, the ability to play Blu-Ray and the ability to upgrade the HDD to your liking is what sets this console apart. This price point will guarantee it to be the hot ticket this this holiday season. Now, about that PSP Go pricing.....LoL. I will probably still get it too :p Oh, and arcades & PC 4 LIFE!
Even though it only has 2 USB ports, you can use a USB HUB to make more connections. Even though the new PS3 does not come with a memory card reader, you can add one via USB. All in all, the PS3 "Slim" is the full featured PS3 minus the memory card readers, 2 extra USB ports, and the all sexy touch sensitive button. :-) PS3 went on a diet and its looking sexy as ever.
ALSo you can remove the HDD PTOM did it, they showed it inall the other videos theres a flap on the bottom. not on the side bottom but the landscape bottom.
This is by far the best deal ever. No one should never complain about it costing to much because it is the cheapest Blue Ray player on the market or one of the cheapest. Plus it is the cheapest next gen gaming console on the market with NO compromise for its design. If one were to compare the Xbox 360 120 gig and the PS3 Slim ( which has 120 gig of Hard Drive), the PS3 Slim is of better value because of its cheaper price tag and better value.
