Product Description
The Sony PlayStation is the most popular gaming console. Featuring advanced 3D texture-mapped graphics, full transparency and shading effects, and high-quality CD sound, it was considered impossible to emulate decently until the release of an astonishing emulator. The precise manufacturing methods of the PlayStation have gone through several refinements since the console's arrival. The current production model features a highly integrated chipset. Despite having gone through numerous hardware revisions, the technological core of PlayStation's architecture remains unchanged.

The fourth generation of hardware released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment platform, the PlayStation 3 120GB system is the next stage in the evolution of Sony's console gaming powerhouse.

Yet the 120GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 120GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) and its pre-installed, 120GB hard disc drive allows you to save games as well as download content from The Internet. Unlike The some other models of The PlayStation 3, The 120GB system does not offer backwards compatibility. The same functionality now in a smaller, more quiet and energy efficient package

 Great Buy- PS3 March 17, 2010
O. Hall III (Claxton, GA USA)
I opened it and it was exactly what I had paid for. As soon as I plugged it in and entered my info I was up and running. I do have one suggestion. Do not expect it to play Playstation 2 software. That was the only great feature that was removed from the PS3 Slim model.
Great Machine March 17, 2010

I am new to games and this seems to be the perfect machine to begin with. My only concern is that even after downloading the latest operating software from Sony, the PS 3 asks for older and outdated programming before the beginning of a game. I found that the accessories (remote and HDMI cables) were available at a MUCH better price at Amazon than anywhere else.
I would definately recommend this to others.
 A GREAT entertainment package March 15, 2010

I have used a Nintendo Wii for 4 years and an Xbox 360 for 1 1/2 years so I am familiar with all the major gaming systems. We recently received a PS3 slim and I love it!! I will just bullet point the main pros and cons
pros
-Blu Ray player (one of the best ones on the market)
-built in WiFi AND Ethernet jack (Xbox 360 has Ethernet jack, but not WiFi and the Wii has WiFi but not an Ethernet jack)
-Super quiet compare to the Xbox (a little louder than the Wii).
-Can upload music, photos and videos to the hard drive and play right from homescreen. I copied my photos and music on to a flash drive and connected that to my PS3 slim. the PS3 found them and I copied them on to my hard drive (make sure you create individual folders on your flash drive exactly as the following: MUSIC, PHOTO and VIDEO. The PS3 firmware is written to look for those folder names so you need to place your content in their respective folder)
-The photo album software is awesome. My family sat down and watched a photo album set to music right from the Photo Album software that I put together in a couple of minute. It was super easy.
-Web Browser
-Motion sensitive controller (kind of like the Wii). I played Stuntman Ignition and steered my car simply by tilting the controller
-SMK Link made a universal remote called the Blu Link for the PS3. It is AWESOME!
Cons (not a lot, but):
-I don't care for the Sony controller. I think the Xbox 360 is far superior. The 360 was desinged much better: fits hands better, left thumbstick is in a better location and the triggers have a better shape. This is not a deal breaker, but the 360 controller is much better. I tried the Shadow 6 controller that DreamGear made for the PS3. I love the shape and feel of the Shadow 6, but it does NOT work! I should have listened to the reviews
-Need a disc to play instant NetFlix content. I guess I should at least be greatful that Sony and Netflix worked out a way to circumvent the exclusivity deal with Micrsoft, but having NetFlix as an integrated part of the Xbox is nice (it should be noted that NetFlix will be available on the Wii soon as well)
-Not backwards compatible with PS2 games. Really the only PS2 game I want to play is Star Wars Battlefront 2 and maybe they will release a 3??? (there's always hope).
When all is said and done, I definetly recommend the PS3 slim!! Do I recommend it over the Xbox 360? Yes and no. If the PS3 was backwards compatible for ps2 games, I would live with the inferior controller and say definitely. Since it is not backwards compatible the combination of that and the inferior controller makes it a little harder to say "definitely"
the best thing u have March 15, 2010

i just search online when i recieve it because i can't get it function right for just starting the system
becuase the tv screen is a black and says that the harddrive is broken it need to be recover or something
and it tooks hours to recover. i found online that sony knew these problems and they are going to have a new update just for this system and after that update the system should be fine. well i don't think they really need those update becuase after it recoverd then it just work fine like the other ps3. it just that hard to get started that's all and don't let it stand becuase they said this system is not design read the disc vertically so.. don't let it stand.
