New compact and energy-efficient design. Terrific gaming performance. Integrated high-quality Blu-ray player. Hard drive is easily accessible for upgrades. Built-in Wi-Fi
Bluetooth. Support for HDMI CEC and DLNA.
Bangin new compact body houses all the power of the original. A beefier 120GB hard drive is still a breeze to swap out. Overall
Runs quieter than previous PS3 iterations. Hello extra Cnote! A great value
Especially if youre still sans a Bluray player.

The editors didn't like
Slightly plasticky feel. Slightly worse CD audio playback. Better games on Xbox 360
Lacks backward support for PS2 games
No infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes arent compatible
Online gaming
Media
And commerce options still arent as fully developed as Xbox Live
Though theyre getting better.
No memory card slots. Lacks support for Netflix streaming. Dedicated Blu-ray remote is not included.

Sony requires you to purchase a $24 plastic stand (if you want to balance the rig upright.). Sorry Captain Linux
No more support for alternate operating systems. Its no 360 turbine

The New 120GB PS3 “Slim” is a fine looking machine. It’s stylish, it performs well and it’s priced right. Sure it may take a few seconds longer to load Blu-ray discs, but it’s not a big deal. If you already own a PS3, we’re not sure why you’d bother to...
