I have owned the Sony Playstation 3 Slim 120GB for around a month now and feel i can provide a informative review. First off, i have not owned any of the earlier models of the PS3 so this review is based soley on my experience using the Slim version. The setup for the unit was simplicity itself, i dont have a HD television set so connected via the included AV cabling. for those who have a HD television be aware that the unit does not ship with a HDMI cable, only standard AV cabling and an adaptar. Due to not connecting to a HD TV many of the settings didnt apply to me. Setup of the internet was a bit more tricky, when compared to the Wii's internet ...  Read the complete review

I got my PlayStation 3 the other weekend, after my Xbox 360 went faulty on me, that pesky red ring of death. After being a strong xbox fan for so long I thought I would give the PS3 a turn, and I must admit, this is truely a powerful and exciting machine.

The Sony Playstation 3 has been around for a good few years now so a newly recently release slim model wasn't a surprise.

Sony have actually admitted that the slim model uses a cheaper blu ray drive & this actually takes slightly longer top load discs when compared with previous models. Also this model in general doesn't seem to be as stable as ...  Read the complete review

The PS3 Slim is much more than a games console; it's a fully-fledged home entertainment system. Watch blu-ray films, surf the internet, watch missed episodes of your favourite show on iplayer and off course play games. The graphics are quite impressive and definitely have that WOW factor. Drakes Fortune looks wonderful, colours are vibrant and everything looks realistic. Great thing about the slim is that it's energy efficient (45nm architecture), meaning that you can play hours upon end without needing to worry about the electric bill, this also means that it runs considerably cool. The slim is half the size of the original PS3. it ...  Read the complete review
