Sony's PlayStation 3 120GB Slim Console

Sony PS3 Slim is finally here. Who underwent a diet, once the "fat" video game console has become a slimmer version Trimmer, his original self is cool and not too different from the original version. The Slim is smaller in size, lower price and has a 120 GB hard drive that is up to 80 GB of the original. It has the same characteristics as the original PS3, however, consumes 34 percent less power. It also takes up about 32 percent less space. A matt black gloss finish replaces the original. This is a bonus for those who care about the fingerprints and dust. However, if you like shiny things, all is not lost. There is still a gleam in the side walls and on disk. A new logo for the PS3 has been engraved on the side. The hard drive has been moved from the side of the system in comparison with better accessibility. If you wish, you can replace the hard drive without voiding the warranty. Loosen the two screws, and is already underway. The Slim measures 11.42 x 2.56 x 11,42 in relation to 10,8 x 12,75 x 3,86 in large PS3. Slim weighs 7 pounds while the original game console weighed 11 pounds. This decrease in the size and weight makes it haulable from room to room or place to another. The role of on / off and disc eject buttons have been replaced with real buttons that light up when the console is turned on. The Slim has a smaller and more energy efficient version of the 45nm processor in the original cell had a 60 nm processor in the cell. This has reduced energy consumption by two thirds and has more fan noise and quieter than before. The PS3 Slim has Wi-Fi and two USB ports. Slim is also a Blu-ray. The Blu-ray can be used for movies like, games. It is a free service for online games and a built-in web browser. The new Bravia Sync system in it. If you own a Sony TV, this will be an added advantage because it allows direct control of the console with the TV remote control. For those who do not own a Sony TV, this update will not be too important. The Slim maintains compatibility with PlayStation 1 games, but like the original no backward compatibility for PS2 games. This means that you can not play PS2 games on the Slim. Sony said that this feature is completely off the table. For some, this is disappointing. The players still have their PS2 games will continue with the use of two systems. There is no possibility of installing an alternative operating system. The Slim has no infrared port. This means that no Bluetooth universal remotes are not compatible with the PS3 Slim. The Slim can stand vertically or horizontally. Slim tends to be less stable when running a disc. We recommend you purchase the optional support if you intend to take it. Or the fate of his stand. This will not be a big problem with some players. If you have a PS3, or find the original price tag was a bit 'too much for your wallet to handle, then now is your time. Slim is cheaper, lighter (which will be easier to move from one room to another), uses less energy than before, and offers free online play.
