PlayStation 3 Slim General Discussion

Featured 33635 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

I was looking at getting a stand alone blu-ray player sometime in the future for the other TV... but for a bit more $$$ i might just get a second PS3 a Slim PS3.

But ill cross that bridge when i get to it.
i like my ps3 'fatty'. i like my women with curves and my ps3's.
you can keep your 'A cup PS3' sony.

you SHOULD get a hdmi cable, not just component
i mean they package them with other blu-ray players

Yes they should, even at minimum they should include a Component cable even the Tight **** company of M$ gives you a HDMI cable, i'm sure sony could do it
I have a bad feeling about the 45nm processor...from the 60nm processor....if they could put in a 45nm, why couldn't they up the clock speed a bit :|
Does this new slim have card readers in it?

No...its dosen't...
dont think so...Another reason why its gone donw it price... because of cuts backs
I'm just stick with my 40gb version (320gb HDD)...not giving up for ya...I do the same with my ps2...stuff the slim verion....original is the best

Also..the slim verion...missing the shinning part...know what i'm saying..

i know..its not right to talk about piracy here...but am just talking about a generic homebrew topic.
Track record shows, the initial models of the SONY gaming consoles have better compatibility in regards to homebrew. But then again, the previous consoles didnt have to go through a mandatory firmware update everytime one wants to play online :| *fingers crossed*
Its up on JB's website $494, better than I expected
cnet.com.au review. Watch it the hard drive is upgradable

I wonder if SONY can see these comments... will they cancel production of the slim and redesign it?

I hope so

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.

smASHer mumbled:
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)


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.



wait what
GAME has it for $479.
