PlayStation 3 slim 160 GB I am a video gamer and sometimes the console doesn’t come cheap, especially if it just comes out ,like the PS3. I decided to wait and soon Sony developed a slim version. I love this product because I’m a PlayStation fan. I have the PS3 slim and I think its cool because its energy efficient, light weight compared to the original , and of course its cheaper. Here are some more facts about the PS3 Slim. The first PS3 Slim was officially released in September 1, 2009 here in North America and sold a million units in only three weeks of sale,“ now that is impressive!”(Carnoy, Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (120GB). Sony is really competing with the Xbox 360 by making a model that is cheap with a little big hard drive. This system has a BD-Live capable Blu-ray with a 1080p HDMI.(Peckham, Sony PlayStation 3 (120 GB) Game Console). If you want full HD 1080p requires an HDMI cable and a TV that supports HDMI imput. The BD-live is a new feature on the Blu-Ray where you need internet connection and allows you to view contents like exclusive special feaures on the movie, game activies, download ringtones and wallpaper,and enter live events. This feature requires a lot of updates since movies are being made every year. The system allows you to put songs, images from your camera, and use the internet. Now, the design that this system differs from the original version is the glossy black finish with a duller matte. The weight of this system is approximately about seven pounds and unit measures 11 in length and width with a 2 and half height in inches, “that’s about a size of a laptop” ( Peckham, Sony PlayStation 3 (120 GB) Game Console). This is about the same measure of a DVD player. This PS3 slim is just like the original, but theres only one slight change that I hate about is that theres only two usb ports. If you needed extra ports you have to buy a USB Hub and it takes up one more power outlet. I wanted to play one of my favorite games like Rockband but it wasn’t enough to put the game instrument controller , which cost more money out of your pocket. When you buy this product, it comes with a contoller called the Dual Shock 3. This contoller is wireless. you connect the controller to the PS3 with a USB cable to pair it and charge the controller(“It Only Does Everything” Sony.com) This is really good
