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 120GB, 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.

Not bad but...

Not the quality you'd expect from Sony. Doesn't look as good as the old model, cheap casing, looks a bit bland. Also, you can't really stand it up like the old model as you have to buy a stand so that adds to the cost. £250.00ish isn't much of a price drop even though you get a bigger hard drive which to me, isn't such a big deal. The hard drive can be taken out to upgrade just like the old model. All in all, I think it's worth around a £200ish price mark.

first impressions are superb

i got my ps3 lsim 120gb today and its really easy to set up,everything loads up fast on my wireless connection,the userface is simple but has more options than iv seen before lol
im really glad i got one and the slim is lovely to look at,is very quiet & uses minimal electricity which is good for the enviroment.
iv had a 360 since launch and its been good altho im on number 4 but the slim seems better built,and everything is smoother and more proffessionsal looking on ps3 interface.
i got one soley for ps3 exclusives which i really like and use xbox for live and cross platforms.
looking forward to playing god of war,uncharted etc etc :)

Better than big 60gb ps3

I sold my old 60gb ps3 to get a ps3 slim and must say it is amazing, you can hardly hear it when its on, its so much lighter, doesn't get hot and looks awsome.
The pictures of it don't do it justice, it looks so much better in the flesh and its so much easyer to keep clean as it has a matt finish.
It looks very discreat sitting on your tv stand.
I would say if you are thinking of choping in your old chunky ps3 for the slim don't hesitate do it you won't be dissapointed.
