The PS3 Slim is the latest PlayStation 3 games console, but it is essentially the same console as before, but with slimmed down components and a new, smaller body. The key improvements in the PS3 Slim are the 120GB hard drive, up from 40GB, 60GB and 80gb in previous UK versions and making it slimmer has made it 36 per cent lighter, 33 per cent smaller and it consumes at least 34 per cent less power (for you know worry about you electricity bills). The PS3 Slim represents a new console just in time for x-mas, one that could start to make sony some profit because up to this is due to the vast majority of PS3 sold so far (around 24 million of them) have been sold at a loss. However, new manufacturing procedures have changed this recently, and a redesigned 45nm Cell processor along with other similarly small and power efficient components have reduced Sony's manufacturing costs significantly. So what do you get: You get the console, a DualShock 3 controller, power cable, AV cable and USB cable - but no HDMI cable is included. So what you get is the same as the older version but with a newer style controller. In my opinion Sony has released this console just in time for x-mas to try and boost their profit margin, it is still the great ps3 but with no real noticeable benefits to us the customer and no real break in the price which people are crying out for! After all that said DO buy this product because the ps3 in my opinion is the best game console out at the moment with free online game play and a blu-ray player this console far outranks the x-box 360. This is still a very good buy and is now must more pleasing to look at!
