What’s New In Playstation 3 Slim?

It’s out now and selling like hotcakes. PlayStation 3 120 GB
is priced at $299 only. It can’t get any better. Sony has launched this slimmer PS3 with a distinct target audience. They are out to woo those who found standard PS3 version fatter and expensive.

PS3 slim is lighter and slimmer- true to its name. It weighs only 7 pounds as opposed to 12-pound earlier models, and is only 2.5 inches wide. Compared to the regular version, Slim does not come in glossy finish but only in matt charcoal colour.

One downside with the slim design is that you’ll need a stand if you want to erect it like a tower. Not that you really need to do that for optimum gaming experience. PS3 Slim has upgraded the memory options. From 80GB it now offers 120 GB and 250 GB, with an option for you to upgrade further anytime if you need to.There is a standard 2.5 inch SATA slot. Another technical difference is that Slim does not support ‘other OS’, so no more Linux hacking with this one. If you’ve used a PlayStation 3
lately you would have realized that they stopped PS2 game support in 2007. Same applies to Slim, so no backwards compatibility.
