PS3 Slim – it's so much more than ‘just’ a gaming machine...

Blu-Ray movies at full Hi-Definition:
The PS3 Slim sports a fully featured Blu-Ray disc player so that movies and games can be enjoyed at full Hi-Def resolution via the on-board HDMI port.
More interactivity:
The new PlayStation Operating System (V 3.0), included in the package, gives you even more interactive and user-friendly features, making the console much more than ‘just’ a gaming machine.

And it looks good, too:
With its irresistibly sleek and curvy case, the PS3 Slim is a good-looking creature indeed.It is designed to be placed in a horizontal position, but a stand (available separately) enables the PS3 to be mounted vertically to suit you or your gaming space better.
Better for you and the environment:

• The lightest and smallest PS3 ever – fits neatly onto any shelf or TV unit.
• Packs a huge 120GB hard drive – letting you store even more downloaded content, demos, games, movies and more!
• Fully featured Blu-Ray player built in – so you can enjoy cutting-edge HD entertainment when you aren’t gaming!
• Cooler and quieter than before – So no distractions from enjoying your gaming.
• Consumes less power – Less spent on electricity means more to spend on great new games!
• New V3.0 Operating System – makes using the PS3 Slim a cinch!

Thats what im thinking now lol

[stegger]

Getting one of those glad i held out, didn't like the shiny black one.

[Lee]

Yeah the shine off your forehead is bad enough

Well, my big shiny PS3 has just exploded, and Sony say it's a known fault, but won't replace it. They said that the (quote) 'best bet is to trade your old one in with us with £145 for a refurbished one'

So, it looks like I may have to get one of these.

[jim76]

i thought only 360's went bang! lol

[Marvin]

Well it wasn't as exciting as that, but it displayed the 'yellow light of death' when I went to turn it on. Also, to be fair to Sony, in the first year of sale, only 0.3% of PS3s failed, in comparison to 30% of Xbox 360s.

[showtime]

97% of all statistics are made up



23% of people know that

[jim76]

must admit i'd be tempted by this new one. The old shiny one looked mahoosive and fugly to me.

Have a look on the " which" website, mate. EVERYTHING sold in the UK comes with a 6 year warranty. It's just that no-one knows about it!

[Gonky]

Has the new gran tourismo been released on the ps3 yet?

If not, i may just be persuaded to get one of these!

[Marvin]

Nooooo. Obviously. I don't think it will be released until the end of 2010, even though PolyPhony said the end of 2009.

I just read that article on Which? I had already called Claims Direct, and they said to take it up with HMV (where I bought it from), as they said that Sony have done more than they are obliged to by law, however, they agreed that 1 and a half years for 300 quids worth of PS3 was not a reasonable length of time for this product to last, and that we have a strong case against HMV, if only I could find the bloody receipt.

No hdmi cable ? in these HD times
Shame on you Sony.
