The editors didn't like

  • Controller not the best
  • Online play still no match for the Xbox Live
  • Cant play PS2 games
  • Cheaper-looking finish than previous versions
  • Incompatible with universal remote controls
  • The still missing PS2 support
  • No PS2 compatibility
  • 3D Blu-ray update not quite ready
  • Some crosstalk video noise
  • It's a bit ugly
  • The price is still high
  • No PS2 gaming
  • PSN outclassed by Xbox Live
  • The biggest drawback on the Sony PS3 Slim is the lack of support for older Sony PS2 games. It seems to be completely unnecessary
  • And fails to take into account the thousands of PS2 owners who plan on upgrading while still wanting to play some of their older games.

  • That said, the Sony PS3 Slim is still an impressive achievement, and it easily ranks among the best gaming consoles ever. Slimmer, neater and packed with features, it's definitely a must have. Best offers for the Sony Playstation 3 SlimMarks and Spence...

  • Adds thrilling 3D effect to games, Great media management and user experience, 250GB hard drive
  • 3D Blu-ray update not quite ready, Some crosstalk video noise
  • 3D gaming improves what was already a fantastic console. When the 3D Blu-ray update arrives, this will perhaps be the ultimate multimedia device.

  • Has Sony redeemed the PS3 brand? Regardless of the previously stated drawbacks, and the triumph of image over substance, the fact is that the PS3 Slim costs half of what the original PS3 cost when it first launched. It is also smaller, quieter and con...

  • Abstract:  Call it drab, call it dull, call it penny-pinching and conservative, but releasing the PS3 Slim is easily the most sensible move Sony has made in donkeys years. Where it cuts down on the feature set of the original PS3 it does so in ways that do...
