Sony just released its fifth iteration of the PlayStation 3 game console (affectionately named the “Super Slim.”) This new version is basically the same as the original PS3 that debuted in 2006 and is almost technologically identical to the Slim that hit stores in 2009, though it is not backwards compatible for PlayStation 2 titles. Sony will offer three models of the Super Slim: the 250GB (of internal storage) model ($270, tested in this review), the 500GB model ($300, due out Oct. 30 in North America, and currently available in Europe and Japan), and a 12GB Flash memory-only model that’s only available in Europe.
So, how is the Super Slim? It’s ugly and clunky, but it might have a redeeming quality or two.
Tell that to the thousands of people who are buying it in Europe
But will this new model blend ? The age old question
There's no denying it looks good on the box but getting up close reveals it's not quite so grand. Word of mouth will likely play it's part in how well it continues to sell after the spike
Not that it matters anyway if you just want to play games on it but yes both previous versions are gorgeous in comparison
Shouldn't this be marked as opinion?
kinda sad.
