The PlayStation 3 Slim, also called PS3 Slim, has succeeded the PlayStation 2 as the primary home video game console produced by Sony Computer Entertainment. Its closest competitors include the Microsoft Xbox 360 and Nintendo's Wii. The PS3 Slim saw its debut on November 11, 2006 in Japan; later on, it was released in other countries.
At just a shade over 7 pounds, it is almost 36 per cent lighter and 33 per cent smaller than its previous incarnation, the PS2. It also boasts of a 120 GB hard drive and is said to consume 34 per cent less power. The device still has two front facing USB ports, and the usual HDMI, AV multi-out, optical-out and Ethernet ports. There is a slimmer two-pin cable in place of the kettle power cable. It has a DualShock 3 controller instead of the standard SIXAXIS. The PS3 Slim has a 17-blade, 95mm fan, which hums softly in the background when you are playing games.
The USP of the Sony PS3 is its built-in Blu-ray drive; with this you can watch your favorite films in full HD 1080p. It also has the ability to turn into a home cinema system. As far as gaming ability is concerned, the PS3 has the ability to play almost any media file, be it a picture, video or music, with a minimum of fuss. It has out of the box support for DivX and Xvid video formats, so if you wish to play a video from your digital movie collection, you can do it easily. The device is slightly bigger than the Xbox 360 and has very good graphical fidelity features.
Although its looks are not as refined as its earlier avatar, the PS2, it more than makes up for those with its performance and compatibility with any Bluetooth device. It’s priced a bit steep, though. At nearly $ 300, not every gaming aficionado might think of going in for the Sony PS3.
