Sony PS3 500GB Super Slim Console (PS3)

after 5 years of xbox 360 i decided to move to another generation but instead choose ps4 i decided to bought a ps3(and i will bought in the future a wii u to put near it) , why i took a ps3 ? well now is cheaper and her games as well, i am tired of shooter and fighter games i prefer now platform and particular games with some exception , and there is a plenty of exclusive such like the whole ratchet and clank series , jax and daxter trilogy, sly trilogy, puppeteer,wipeout HD little big planet series, metal gear solid 4,the last of us ecc. , and i forget it there are a lot of ps one classic game like final fantasy XII ,IX crash bandicoot and spyro series(i bought these one for first game) , i could never imagined how much exclusive game the sonys' console hold , the ps3 super slim is very light and small i was surprise,and i did not find the casing too much cheaper as well i like it the new disk insertion remenber me my childhood when i had the ps one my first console. Set up was easy as well and i found the menu more beautiful than Microsoft console i liked the controller i dont find so much difference from xbox360 controller , i did not tried the blue ray drive so i don't know yet the level of noises because most of the game i will buy by digital delivery , and in that case the console is very very quietly, i appreciate it i can buy from playstation network with the paypal system is more safely now than before so if you want a very good game system took a this one you will be not disappointed

I had the old fat and shiny 40Gb PS3 and just loved it. Sadly it packed in with the yellow light of death followed by the red flashinglight of death !! I was fortunate that there wasn`t a disc trapped inside when it failed or I would have had to go into dismantling mode !!I decided that life without a PS3 wasn`t for me so I searched for a best price new PS3 and found this new model at Amazon. I elected freedelivery and I had my new PS3 three days later. Well done Amazon.My first impression was how light and slim it was compared to my chunky old unit. I had read reviews of this unit being a bit noisy inoperation but when it is running a game it is virtually silent. Yes, you do hear it when it is spinning up and loading but at least you know itis doing what it`s supposed to do.I personally like the top loading via the sliding cover as it is one less thing to go wrong and at least you could retrieve your disc if the unitshould fail with a disc loaded.I am impressed with the capacious 500Gb available compared to the 40Gb of my old unit. I will probably store all my digital photographs on my newPS3 and enjoy watching them on TV.As I said in my title the new PS3 does just the same as the older models. It has the same powerful cell processor and will play Blu Ray films ifyou so desire. It really is a nice neat unit and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Even as "last years model" the PS3 is still an excellent console. With a vast array of games available including some award winning exclusive titles which are now very cheap (The last of us and the Uncharted series spring to mind). The slim takes up a little more space than your average Blue Ray player but with the 500 GB hard drive it can store movies, downloaded games, music and pictures.With an internet connection it can be used to play Amazon prime films or Love film on your TV as well as BBC I player and E4 and even as an internet browser though it is cumbersome to browse the web or write anything longer than a tweet without a keypad attachment (not included).If your holding out for PS4 to come down in price this is still a good console and doubles up as a blue ray player compatible with most sound systems. To boot if you have a modern sony TV then most models will let you use your remote with the PS3.

The console certainly isn't aesthetically pleasing and feels cheap and tacky to boot, which I really wasn't expecting from a Sony product. It's also quite noisy when reading from disk.That said, the user interface is excellent both in terms of design and functionality - not only can it do all the usual Smart TV stuff (Netflix, video/audio streaming from the local network etc.) but 3D blu-ray playback too? Awesome.The performance generally isn't awesome - it takes a while to load games for example - but playing a game in full HD over HDMI with Dolby 5.1 over optical is a great experience. Also love that I can control the console over HDMI with my TV remote (why isn't this enabled by default???).Quite impressed to discover that I can use the controller wirelessly with my Sony tablet.I can't compare this with other consoles because this is the only one I own, but I'm really happy with my purchase.
