The PS3 was reviewed by a Staff member of the Play Station Site as follows:

I have found that the PS3 Slim or the PS3 120 GB to be a great addition to the current PS3 line.  I has several major improvements over its predecessors and the ‘trade offs’ are few and, to most us, insignificant.

The following is a review of how the new model,  PS3, compares to its predecessors:

PS3 SLIM vs. PS3 80/160GB

• $100/200 less in price
• It is smaller
• It is more energy efficient
• Operations are quieter
• It runs cooler
• It has a smaller Cell processor manufactured using a 45-nanometer manufacturing process
• It has a new, more advanced HDMI 1.3 chipset
• It has a HDD upgrade

Things that could be improved in the PS3

• It has No Linux support
• It has No on-off switch in the back
• It has a Push rather than touch ‘On’ and ‘Eject’ buttons
• It is Not as pretty

Things that stayed the same on the PS3:

• It has Unchanged game-playing experience
• It has the same great Blu-ray player
• It has the same PSP integration
• It has the same WiFi, Bluetooth built-in
• It has the same Dualshock 3 rumble, motion sensitive controller
• It has the same I/O options

I found that the PS3 Slim is a superior product when compared with the PS3 80/160GB models. It is relatively inexpensive, feature packed, versatile gaming machine, multimedia hub and outstanding Blu-ray player, earns back the 5th star that I granted the Classic models and I didn’t feel that the PS3 80/160GB models deserved to be 5 star rated.

When compared to the PS3 Classic, the PS3 Slim lacks PS2 compatibility, has 2 fewer USB ports and and it lacks media card slots but these shortcomings are offset by the significantly lower price, energy efficiency, larger storage and an updated CPU and HDMI.

Using the PS3 you can do just about everything you did with the PS3 80/160GB models and in the exact same way. I found that I was able to play all the games I brought without a problem, the Bluetooth remote controller was recognized immediately and so was the Playstation Eye. Both a USB-dongle full-size wireless keyboard, a USB-connected wired keyboard and Sony’s own Bluetooth mini-keyboard worked great. I could upload pictures, videos and music from a USB thumb drive and a USB-connected SATA 2.5″ hard disk and play them in the same way I do it on my own PS3.

I found that the Slim has the exact same ports in the back, the same buttons in front – albeit ‘push’ buttons instead of the ‘touch’ buttons, the same 2 USB ports, comes with the same Dualshock 3 controller, USB cable and Composite AV cable accessories.

I found that the  older PS3s weren’t particularly noisy but the Slim seems to be more quiet and, after several hours of play, it didn’t get as warm as the Classic.

The complete impression of the Slim is “nothing new” at least on the surface.  It is certainly “cooler, quieter, smaller, more energy efficient” and you don’t notice while playing a game or watching a movie. The really great feature on the Slim is that so many more will be able to afford it and, with a larger user base, more developers will feel more strongly motivated to publish more, better games that all of us will enjoy.
