PlayStation 3 Super Slim Model Review | Capsule Computers

Luke Halliday writes:

"Sony’s latest model of their PlayStation 3 console may seem somewhat redundant given the fact that they previously released a slim version of console a mere 2 and half years ago, but it is still an admirable attempt to correct the issues with the previous incarnations of the machine. Though is it worth tossing your old PS3 consoles out the window into oncoming traffic and upgrading to the super slim model?"

Does it survive a kinetics test, outside a window and onto the pavement?

Mmm, from the sounds of this all they did was make it a lot smaller, but then they also used cheaper plastic and parts. I'm going to be perfectly fine with my normal Slim, no reason to drop the extra money on this Super Slim.

Well if your Ps3 is working fine than you shouldn't even be thinking of upgrading. Unless you want multiple Ps3s. I for one like the sliding door mechanism. Your game will never get stuck and has no chance of the disk tray getting jammed. My fat Ps3 sometimes won't eject a game and won't let me insert a game at times. Don't know why haha. Could be it's about to die. But less moving parts is usually a good thing. But even this open sliding lid probably has problems of it's own. Nothing is perfect.

Its downgrading, not upgrading. I like the first slim so much better. And then i like the phat in the #1 spot because it has a hell of a lot more features in it.

koga884261d ago (Edited 4261d ago )

Yeah I won't be upgrading as long as my slim works fine as it is. I know a few people though who always want the latest version of anything, even with the PSP they bought each one that came out, which was a bit of a shame with the PSPGO. After looking at a few videos and seeing how that sliding door is though, it looks very flimsy and cheap. Not sure if I would trust that to work for a long time without tape or something to hold it in place.

@Koga88,

I fully agree with you. I also have the slim version and do not see the need to trade in for this one. Plus, come on Sony... its 2012 and still no HDMI cable. Not smart at all.

frostypants4262d ago

Yeah, my PS3 fat died and I just bought one of the old slims instead of this. The super-slim is cheaply built. It's not an upgrade at all.

young7yang4262d ago

what does he mean by faster?????

how much faster???

Qrphe4262d ago

Same here, what does it mean?

dalibor4262d ago

Probably booting up the system and when the game is loaded the disk can be read faster. At least that's what I think was meant.

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.

Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.

Goodguy011d 2h ago

The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.

Is it running the same Windows OS? Because that is the biggest issue with the current Ally.
