PS3 Slim Now Available in Oz




Gadget love. Beyond sexual.


Sony's upgrade for it's Playstation 3 officially went on sale yesterday across Australia and New Zealand.

Slimmer (you think?) lighter and with a less dust-friendly outside, it seems to be a sexier and quieter version of its former self.

New features include a 120GB hard disk (that can be upgraded without voiding the warranty) and a reworking of the inside bits that make it less noisy than it's predecessor to run. In the main, the functions are still the same. Which includes the ability to play PS3 games, a top quality Blu-ray and DVD, CDs and MP3s, show and store video and photo, and connect to the internet and the free Playstation Network with its wireless connection. Backwards compatibility to the land of PS2, however, not so much. Though are you really still playing PS2 games?

The outside is no longer piano black - it's got a rough, matt more 'touchable' surface so dust and fingerprints are no longer an issue, and the on/off and eject buttons are now just that - you can physically push them in, rather than give them a finger swipe.

RRP is $499.



Compared to the old PS3, the PS3 Slim is obviously, er, slimmer.
