 Looks great, works great 2010-03-09 |
| By C. Stevens (Norwalk, CT USA) |
| Does everything it should, plays games well, doesn't make much noise, plays blue ray movies just fine. Wireless works well, netflix enabled device for streaming movies from netflix. My only complaint would be that it isn't too stable when being stood upright on it's side. It hasn't tipped yet, but I would expect it wouldn't take much to fall over. If you intend to stand it up on it's side I'd suggest getting something to prop it up, like a stand or a makeshift base. Also, I thought playstation would of gotten the clue by now that we want a longer charger cable for the controllers and the ability to charge the controller while the system is off. |
 PS3 Slim mainboard failure after 45 days 2010-03-09 |
| By Scott F. (Bloomington, Illinois United States) |
| I got a release version of the 60GB PS3 way back when the came out. It was great -- until it died in January 2010 with the Yellow Light of Death (YLOD). Unwilling to give up the platform, I recently purchased a 120GB slim version to replace it. I had my hopes set high that the newer slim version would last much longer due the more efficient design. Unfortunately after watching a movie today it locked up and the screen filled with garbage. After that it would not boot up at all, just 45 days after purchase. A call to Playstation support determined that the main board had failed. Now I have to do a warranty exchange for a machine that was practically brand new, and I may end up receiving a refurbished model. This is very disappointing! Hope everyone else has better luck with this machine than I had. It was great when it worked, but it is a major headache when it fails -- not to mention all the money spent in games that we can't play. I would be very hesitant to purchase any versions of this machine. They are expensive, and sadly they just don't seem to last. Now I have to wait a few weeks to get my refurbished PS3. |

| Great but low power USB 2010-03-08 |
| By GODJOEY |
| See nobody brings this issue up since it does use much less power than the previous models. I notice the USB is very nerfed when it comes to power output. I couldn't have a mouse hooked up to it and retrieve data from my thumbdrive at the same time. But as long as I used the gamepad plugged in it was fine. Tested both slots then I bought a powered USB hub and that confirmed it. The slim is great but it lacks power to the usb ports. Think about picking up a usb powered hub to remedy that issue. Other than that it is DEAD SILENT compared to my older model and it doesn't heat the room up it's dvd loading is slower sometimes by as much as 20 seconds on some movies but it's not a big deal. Hope that helps ya. |
