PS3 Super Slim - Sony’s 5 Mistakes

MMGN: The Super Slim PS3 could have been something of interest to Sony fans or those yet to dabble in the PlayStation 3 market, but in the end, it's left floating in the wilderness. Who is it actually for?

I like the top loading because if my system happens to get the YLOD I will be able to get my game out. I don't have to wait to get my game out of the system (Not that I have to wait long now,but still).

What I am worried about is, will the game get easily scratched due to the system being moved, similar to what happens to the 360 disc?

The price is not to much, in a way its cheaper without the price drop. You get more space and for 20 dollars more you get 2 games or 70 dollars worth of extra stuff (depends on how you see it).

If the disc needs to be clicked into place like in the PS2 slim, I doubt you'll need to worry about scratched discs. Blu Ray is very durable anyway.

This might be the Sony's answer to steal Nintendo Wii U's thunder. IF you're looking for great library of exclusive games, you can't go wrong with the slimmer $250 PS3.

IF you're looking for a new fresh gaming experience, you may opt for the $300 Wii U. Fortunately, the PS3 will be able to mimic what the Wii U can do via new firmwares, but you may need to add $250 PS Vita in your purchase list too (especilly for new PS3 gamers.)

For the 2 crappy games that will use the PS3 + PS Vita control setup. Such a groundbreaking technology.

it needs wireless N! wtf sony? switching to this has no benefit over the current models. the 360 slim got it right with wireless N and a MUCH quieter system. but this? i dont see it, the current model is quiet, has slot loading, and the same wireless card...so your not getting quicker downloads, your not getting anthing with the super slim really. who would buy this over the wii u at the same price? -__-

sjaakiejj4229d ago

Who is it actually for?

Anybody who wants a Ps3.. It's all about reducing the costs of manufacturing, not about building something to compete with WiiU.

DarkHeroZX4229d ago

true but this will actually cause all other existing models to go way down in price as well. So this may be the boost Sony needed.

HammadTheBeast4229d ago

Only problem I see is pricing, which will be fixed soon enough with the holiday season.

TheLyonKing4229d ago

Oh my god so many doom and gllom articles when anything sony appears it is crazy this like the 4th negative thing I have read about the super slim.

Price is fine for a great looking console which is 500gb and in europe the 12gb upgradable flash console for a tiny bit cheaper is also reasonable.

A part from maybe the price the super slim looks fantastic.

live2play4229d ago

Oh em gee i know right? Why is sony always getting picked on... like fur realz IM CEREAL

Why not nintendo? No one ever picks on nintendo!
...OH WAIT

TheLyonKing4229d ago

why are you even mentioning nintendo in a Sony Article, My point am trying to make is sony have a great product that's priced perfectly for each model one which undercuts the wii U price.

Don't see why you had to comment on mine just to winge that the nintendo gets picked on cause like I have said before this is a SONY article.

Just incase you didnt see what I wrote S.O.N.Y article there is no need to bring N.I.N.T.E.N.D.O in it.

In the words of Axel got it memorized?

Seems people are warming up for the next-gen console war, that's all.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Servers Are Officially Shut Down 'Indefinitely,' Sony Confirms

Sony has confirmed that LittleBigPlanet 3 servers on PlayStation 4 will remain offline “indefinitely” following troubles with the service from earlier this year.

Sad day, hopefully they’ll allow a third party server solution. Goes to show game preservation is an uphill battle.

First the Helldivers launch and then this

Sony still can’t run online services/games.

-Foxtrot3h ago

Do you not get tired creating duplicate accounts...

It's super sad at this point

Knightofelemia1h ago

Last time I remember Helldivers is doing great with players both PC and Playstation.

And how was it at launch? A disaster for weeks.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC5h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer6h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya4h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde4h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me
