I have my PS3 Slim. First impressions.
As promised, I bought the PS3 as a way of rewarding Sony for the redesigning and price drop. I bought it for 320 euros plus the console plus Fallout 3 WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009 and first impressions are positive, albeit with some caveats.
Let the good. It really makes less noise and run cooler, which is appreciated in the summer. The new buttons I like. The touch was fine, but these are a success because the touch is important. Another thing I loved was the return to have a controller with vibration in my hands, and I had forgotten that feeling. The savings in electricity will also be considerable, which I love.
One of the big reasons also to update the console was on the hard drive, which now is 120 Gb Although you could easily replace the hard drive, as it uses a standard laptop, I preferred to wait and directly change the entire console. I want more space especially for television recordings. I try not to see anything that does not pass before the Play TV, to save the ads. After updating the console (not supplied with the latest firmware 3.0) and install the software on Play TV, I still had 92 GB free, which means it eats nearly 30 operating system ...
Among the bad, which is less taller and thinner, but has more depth. In any case occupies less volume. I miss connections for USB, because with the Play TV all day because you really only available to load the USB command, the pen drive and keyboard, etc.. In addition, USB is still inaccessible.
Also missing is the card reader and the ability to install Linux. If I'm honest I never used the reader and although I installed Linux, I did not do anything decent with it because it was a bit complex to install and discourage me.
They say that the PS3 is a bit slower than the old. To me it has given me that feeling, but circulating out there that compare videos and yes it seems to be a tad slower, but hey, I think they spin too fine. I have not appreciated a big difference.
In any case, I mainly want the console games. The extras are fine, but what I want is a good machine to play at an affordable price and that is finally, several years later, Sony has finished getting.
The guys at Xbox are going to have a little bad for a while, I guess that until Project Natal with a new redesign, because I believe they will not want to reach a mass audience with the current design of the console ... I for my part the I have a little pissed because I published the Xbox failed as a gun show ... Maybe the comparison was not very successful, but you can not tolerate that from 2005 until now have not had time to fix the console hardware. Some studies claim to half the consoles fail, others speak of 25%, in any case more than 10% is nonsense.

Multiplayer games @ The truth is that I have not measured, but has not been necessary, because it is something that I found evident. It is also logical that a 45 mm chip generates less heat than a 90. Pine box.
