Special Features

PS3 system software update version 3.00
The updated system software adds various user-friendly features such as the "What's New" screen, where users can quickly browse the new items available in PlayStation Store as well as their recently played games directly on the XMB (XrossMediaBar), with shortcuts to each piece of content. PS3 will evolve continuously with the system software updates, further improving the operability and enhancing the user experience available through the network. PS3 owners will be able to enjoy new features by simply updating the PS3 system software to version 3.00 via the "System Update" function on the XMB.
BRAVIA Sync feature
The PS3 Slim is also equipped with the BRAVIA Sync feature. By connecting the PS3 Slim and a BRAVIA TV with the HDMI cable, users are able to directly operate the XMB on PS3 using the TV remote control. Other functions include "System Standby" that will automatically turn off the PS3 when the BRAVIA TV is turned off.
Vertical Stand for PS3 Slim (CECH-2000 series)
By utilising the Vertical Stand (sold separately), users will be able to set the PS3 Slim in vertical position, making it easier to place the PS3 anywhere at home.

Review

The internal design architecture of the PS3 Slim, from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism, has been completely redesigned, achieving a much slimmer and lighter body. Compared to the very first PS3 model with 60GB HDD, the internal volume as well as its thickness and weight are trimmed down to approximately two-thirds.

Furthermore, power consumption is also cut to two-thirds, helping to reduce fan noise. While inheriting the sleek curved body design of the original model, the form factor of the PS3 Slim features a new meticulous design with textured surface finish, giving an all-new impression and a casual look.

PS3 Slim continues to offer the cutting-edge features and functions of the original models, such as the ability to enjoy high-definition Blu-ray disc movies and games, as well as various content and services downloadable through the network. PS3 Slim's storage size has increased from 80GB to 250GB, and with the extra capacity users will be able to store more games, music, photos, videos as well as various content and services available through PlayStation Network.

Having more than 27 million registered accounts around the world, PlayStation Network offers more than 15,000 pieces of digital content, ranging from game titles, trailers, and demos to more than 15,000 movies and TV shows via PlayStation Store. PlayStation Network members can also download free applications, such as PlayStation Home, a ground-breaking 3D social gaming community available on PS3 that allows users to interact, communicate and share gaming experiences, as well as Life with PlayStation, which offers users various news and information on a TV monitor in the living room by connecting the PS3 to the network.

good choice

Well, i was browsing some consoles on PLAY and i want to say a few things about this PS3 product. For me this is a great choice for those who wants to buy this and i recommend this to those who are interested in it. So, I am an Xbox 360 user and until now i'm on the edge to buy this PS3 and i wish that PLAY.COM deliver it to my country because it's worth it. The things about online i don't use Xbox LIVE because i have a monster PC to play fine online and free and the PS3 that's what i like from it, because you can play free online plus you have many contents to download, so the Xbox 360 has many contents too but i don't like the monthly fees to play a game online or download contents and the last thing i'm going to say that the PC has everything and it can beat the overheating of both PS3 and XB360. And the last thing, I recommend this PS3 to everyone.

Gets a bit warm, but what a console !!!!!!

I was going to buy a Blue Ray DVD player, but instead i got this, which not only plays games, Blue Ray, normal DVD's, BUT i can also watch BBC Iplayer, stream movies on WiFi from my PC to this and when watch on TV. Upscales my old DVD's. Excellent graphics, oh, and it does play PS2 games !! 250HD is more than enougth, I can store my pics and movies on it.

Only thing is it only comes with 1 controller, for this price, it should have 2.

After a while, it does get quite warm, so this is something to keep an eye on. I have also noticed, that it has frozen up, not whilst playing a game, but whilst moving across the menu. This is annoying, as you have to switch the power off to restart it.

The kids love it also.

I am really happy i got this and stronly recommend it. !!!

Apart from the torture of the game I ordered turning up 7 days after the console, very impressed. I was a die hard 360 user but now the PS3 has blown me away.
