PlayStation 3 Slim General Discussion

Featured 33932 Views 972 Posts PS3 Software
Was just wondering what(if any) differences there ae between the 80gig Ps3 & the new Ps3 Slim.
I am just trying to work out which model to get.
Can you upgrade the HDD in the slim? Card readers SD etc??
Any help on this subject would be much appreciated
slims ps2s disgust me, seriously. it just looks like you could pick it up and snap it in half, not really a feature i want in my console.


and the worst part about the deros laybying all the singstars is 90% of the time they end up cancelling it anyway
looks like a prototype model, thats why a few months back when this picture was circulatin, no-body beleived the rumour. bad design, no really even black, i mean CMON .

Jimbo will NOT be buying one of these

Skua will NEVER BUY A SLIM PLAYSTATION

Skua will ALWAYS BUY A FAT PLAYSTATION
the ONLY thing that would've persuaded me to get one is if they included more ram, and like that was ever going to happen.

There is nothing different in the slim than the fat ps3 has

If it had $1 million dollars hidden inside somewhere (slim ps3) how would you get it out? Smash it up/ submerge it in water/ stab it to death ?
ive always wanted to drop a tv from a great height, so probably that way.


or get thaty blonde chick off the phone auction add to yell "YOU PAID 42 CENTS FOR DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSS?!?!?!" and throw it on the street

rofl nice mate

Back to topic though;

I think that the hdd position has killed the ps3 slim standing vertically, as it wobbles easily if you tap it
I think everyone's overreacting abit it doesn't look that bad it still looks better than the Wii & 360 pro console and it's got less fan noise and power consumption lol you all might have to get one if you need to replace your console someday because unless you buy a backup 80gb they are going to be phased out www.kotaku.com.au/ I'll reserve my judgement on if it looks cheap when my sister gets one and I can check it out but less fan noise FTW!
Yet even though it's a nice new design, Sony are still to much of a tight **** to include component cables, you still get the same cable you got in the ps1

on cnet site mentioned, its been design to stand horizontally.
if it was shiny with touch button and vivid logo it would look quite nice.

you SHOULD get a hdmi cable, not just component

i mean they package them with other blu-ray players
Looks like the new slim is the replacement
for the older fat PS3s with the retail price
of the older matched to the new slim model.

So it wont matter, Possibly by the end of the year the only model you could buy new, will be the PS3 Slim.

Is this a good thing ?
It wont have the classy looks on the outside, or the ability to run Linux and the touch sensitive buttons
but it will have easier access to the harddrive and cooler more energy efficient processor.

Though most of us love our old fat PS3,
and would never consider parting with it.

There is a new king on Sony's production line
It's a Cheaper, Duller PS3, Made Slim for the masses
Long Live the King.
^^ HAHAHA +1!
personally i will be buying a PS3 'slim' eventually.. but first.. Sony need to get their software act together and come up with a totally universal PSN sign in whereby your gamesaves are held on the internet... currently if my PS3 were to fail, or i wanted to try to move my gamesaves to another PS3 it would not work.

I do think that the new PS3 slim lacks that nice finish the old phat ones have.. the glossy top however annoying to keep free of dust looks super sexy compared to the cheap **** finish on the slim. Plus.. why no Linux install? Ok so not a feature many used.. but some do.. why remove something that is only software based? Lack of touch-sensitive buttons also cheapen the slim.. BUT the sole reason i'll get a slim is coz it'll use less power.. which means better PPDPW (points per day per watt) for Folding@Home .. with the slim using than less than 90w apparently (down from 135w)
If my ps3 blows up before or just after the slim is released sony are getting abuse.
Man, the more I look at the Slim ... the prettier it becomes xD

Not true, you can copy the ps3 saves onto a USB stick and you can use them on another ps3 providing your are using the same PSN login on that PS3.

Pfft update your firmware bro. folding at home has been removed because it heats your ps3 up, and the whole time the ps3 is on if you have a disc in it the ps3 is constantly reading the disc so it can display the name of the game in the XMB. it destroys your laser and overheats your gpu, which will bring on a premature YLOD.

I fix these things all day man.... it's not worth it. We pay enough tax to let the government worry about researching cancer. if you wanna fold at home, do it on your pc not your ps3
vyma100, are you suggesting to take out the disc when not playing the game? I tend to leave the disc in the PS3 if I plan to play it again the next time I turn it on again ...
I can Imagine the slim over heating quickly
