Finally the ps3 slim has arrived; it shows off a new design and also a new logo. It is smaller than the original ps3 and also lighter. It is still the same ps3 we’ve come to love or hate but only in a smaller package. The best thing about the new ps3 slim is its price tag, for only 299$ it’s a bargain considering that it has Blue-ray, Bluetooth and it is WIFI ready. Like its predecessor you can play mpeg videos and pictures by inserting your USB flash disk to the USB port just like in the XBOX 360.

Now let’s talk about the new design of the ps3 slim; it has a matte finish, you may like it or hate it but it depends on your taste, some will say that the older design is more elegant, I agree with that but look on the bright side at least when you touch your ps3 you won’t leave smudges and grease on it. The ps3 also got rid of the touch sensitive power button and replaced it with a real button. The fan or cooler fan of the ps3 slim is quieter compared to the old one but if you get near it you can still here its sound. When they made the ps3 slim they considered everything from changing the transistor design and even fit the voltage regulator within the ps3 slim.

Overall the ps3 slim is good, it has lesser power consumption, it is smaller and it’s cheaper. It comes with a 120 GB HDD, a six axis controller, it's WIFI ready, has Bluetooth and the same processor speed as its predecessor. The only thing that’s missing in the ps3 slim is its backward compatibility but it’s not all that bad you can still get a ps2 for 99$ and if you want you can still buy the earlier version of the ps3 which almost support full backward compatibility of ps2 games.

Well guys your dreams have been answered, the Sony ps3 slim is here, no more waiting for price cuts, it’s already as cheap as you want it to be. Will Sony’s console once again claim the title “king of the modern day consoles?” And end the console wars? Well we can’t answer it just yet only time will tell..
