Though most of us have our own viewpoint, for some PS3 Slim does not have much to offer and for some it is a whole new experience. Available in sleek curved simple body design, this new console enables the users to get access to a wide array of entertainm...
Abstract: After several leaks when the Sony Playstation 3 Slim (160 GB) finally got unveiled a month back, it showed up as a good mix of little surprises and a windfall dropped price. Tagged at minimum $249 or INR 12, 260.57, the PS3 has been redesigned to be 36 pe...
Abstract: To the casual observer, there’s nothing particularly slim about the new Sony PlayStation 3’s sleek black housing—it’s only when you compare it with its nearly three-year-old counterpart, the previous-gen PS3, that you see how much smaller it is. The bi...
As Blu-ray players go, the original PS3 was competitive at $400. At $300 with a slimmer profile and lower power consumption, the PS3 Slim (120GB) is arguably the one to beat. Factor in games, social networking features like PlayStation Home, music and...
Abstract: Sony has been under a lot of pressure ever since the PS3s release, the high price point being the prime reason. For years, gamers and developers have tried everything to get a price cut but Sony stood their ground. They believed that they are offering...

Nous restons déçus de la PS3 Slim en tant que boîtier multimédia. Pourtant, avec un peu d'effort de la part de Sony, il est certain qu'elle puisse devenir une réelle rivale des meilleurs modèles actuels. En attendant, elle est reste vraiment loin d'êtr...
