Abstract: With built-in Blu-ray, Wi-Fi and a 120GB hard drive, the £249 Sony PS3 Slim seems set to become one of the best console deals on the market. It is amazing what a long-awaited price cut and reconfigured hardware setup can do for a system, but with the PS3 ...

The slim Playstation 3 features a much thinner chassis, and also gets a smarter matt black finish. Gaming was always an issue for the original PS3, and this is anothe
The biggest drawback on the Sony PS3 Slim is the lack of support for older Sony PS2 games. It seems to be completely unnecessary, and fails to take into account the thousands of PS2 owners who plan on upgrading while still wanting to play some of their older games.
That said, the Sony PS3 Slim is still an impressive achievement, and it easily ranks among the best gaming consoles ever. Slimmer, neater and packed with features, it's definitely a must have. Best offers for the Sony Playstation 3 SlimMarks and Spence...
Has Sony redeemed the PS3 brand? Regardless of the previously stated drawbacks, and the triumph of image over substance, the fact is that the PS3 Slim costs half of what the original PS3 cost when it first launched. It is also smaller, quieter and con...
