Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (250GB) price range: $270.00
- Reviewed by: David Carnoy

- Reviewed on: 08/18/2009
The good: More affordable $299 price; slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation; all games in high-definition; easy-to-use interface; doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player; built-in Wi-Fi; spacious hard drive; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply; built-in Web browser; free online gaming service.
The bad: Lacks backward support for PS2 games; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible; online gaming, media, and commerce options still aren't as fully developed as Xbox Live, though they're getting better.
The bottom line: With a smaller design, more energy-efficient operation, lower price tag, and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the PS3 Slim delivers a compelling package for an affordable price.

It really DOES do everything!
by Robert_sens on October 23, 2010
Pros: Great titles, bluray compatibility, and now with the Move bundle package available the PS3 takes home entertainment to a whole new level.
Cons: Content for the Move is still limited, but the Move accessory has only been available for a month. No dedicated remote for DVD playback thus the game controller is used, which can be a bit awkward.
Summary: If you're looking for a gaming system that can provide hours of entertainment with hundreds of titles, and provide bluray playback, look no further.
