PS3 SLIM: characteristics, descriptions, reviews. PS3 Slim: Features, Description, Reviews Installation of a vertical stand on Sony PS3 Super Slim

Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim is the last update of the game console, released a year to the PlayStation 4 release. Super SLIM version differs from precursors only external species, more quiet operation and large volume of hard disk.

Despite the presence of a newer console, PS 3 is a decent entertainment device with a large library of games, support for Blu-ray disks and various services. But gradually the prefix becomes obsolete and will only continue to lose its relevance compared to a more modern console.

Sony PlayStation 3 can be bought at a price of 17 and a half thousand rubles. If you are standing in front of the selection of the console, then we would recommend paying more attention to PlayStation 4 (especially for serious gamers), as a new and more promising gaming machine. The future of PS 3 fadel and not promising, the console can approach as a less expensive option, for example, for children or those who do not particularly follow the innovations of the gaming industry.

Design

In our opinion, Sony Playstation 3 Super Slim though it became thinner than the predecessors, but received an ambiguous design, because of which the prefix looks like a budget.

As it is fashionable now among the gaming consoles, the body of the prefixes from Sony is half matte and half glossy, like Xbox 360 E. True, unlike a competitor, the matte part PS3 is made corrugated - such a surface looks unusual, but it will be more complicated to be cleaned. Dimensions of the console - 290 × 60 × 230 mm, weight - 2.1 kg, so it is easier and shorter, but a little wider than a newer PlayStation 4. On the right end of the case there is a control panel on which you can enable the console and open a drive, and He is very unusual. Unlike the previous version of PS 3 SLIM using a slot optical drive, in Super Slim we see a completely different method of placing disks: the right half of the case cover goes left, opening the tray in which the disk is lowered. It is uncomfortable - the drive closes only manually, besides, it is necessary to keep in mind that you will need free space over the prefix to pull out and invest.

Interfaces

PlayStation 3 Super Slim game console has received a good set of connectors, Wi-Fi support and optical drive, reading Blu-ray discs.

From the connectors, along with modern HDMI and a pair of USB ports, you can find more old - AV connector and optical audio outputs that have already abandoned newest consoles such as Xbox One and PS 4.

You can also note the possibility of accessing the Internet through the Ethernet port or Wi-Fi 802.11 (B / G / N). In addition, there is support for DLNA, which means the ability to transfer video and music from all devices that can do it.

Hardware stuff

The technical characteristics of the Super SLIM version did not change, remaining the same as the previous model - PS 3 SLIM. The console uses the Cell processor created in 45 nm to a technological process operating at a frequency of up to 3.2 GHz. The graph is responsible for the NVIDIA RSX accelerator. Memory volumes - 256 MB of operational (XDR) and 256 MB of video memory type GDDR3. Today it does not look impressive, but thanks to good optimization, it is possible to get a decent picture with HD-permission support. In addition, the cooling system console works efficiently (no overheating) and silently. Graphics, of course, looks easier than on PS 4 or Xbox One, but still looks good.

The data warehouse uses a 500 GB hard disk. In addition, you can independently change the disk to more capacious.

Joystick

Wireless Joystick DualShock 3 remained the same, not a drop without changing from the times of the predecessors from the same generation. The gamepad can be called comfortable for any games, it is ergonomic and comfortably lies in his hand. On a not very large joystick, there are many controls at once: crosses on the left, 4 main buttons on the right, Start, SELECT, and PS keys in the center, two analog turrets under them and four triggers from above and behind the case. On the top end there is even a microusb connector.

Multiplayer and Other

Despite the fact that the console is already with a dozen years, the company has not yet abandoned its support and continues to add various functions. New games also appear on PS 3, although a number of exclusive and advanced will be available only for PS 4.

At the time of PlayStation 3, online services Network and NOW appeared. The first is needed for multiplayer, and the second is to be able to play games on older versions of the consoles directly from the cloud, however, you will need reliable and fast Internet for this. But the most interesting thing is, in contrast to PS 4, on PS 3 you do not need a subscription to play online. Despite the fact that the support of PlayStation 3 is still ongoing, many popular games have already come out only on PS 4, for example, Uncharted 4 or Bloodborne. And it's just flowers, then it will be only worse. New games for PS 3 will soon cease to go out, and here you can already think about whether it should not add money to take the prefix one? At least so you will not worry about her support in the next 5-10 years.

If you want to use the prefix as a multimedia center with Blu-ray discs, then keep in mind that there is no IR port for convenient control of the usual remote control - you will have to use the joystick or buy a special console running via Bluetooth.

In addition to game opportunities and Blu-ray drive, you are waiting for a browser and a number of applications with online services with which the prefix will play new faces - you will see that this is a real multimedia center, as it may sound like that. For example, the same Xbox 360 does not know how to work with Blu-ray discs. In addition, service subscribers PlayStation Plus. Each month is given a pair of free games.

The world of technology is all confidently steps forward. The development of the gaming industry also walks wide steps. And no matter how much supporters are that PC is the most universal platform for video games, but a huge set and those who remain faithful to a variety of consoles, such as PS3 and the like. Of course, the computer is universal, however, the prefix has many of its advantages that are dubious for PCs - a game on the big screen, mobility, full immersion and more. And if you decide to purchase a high-quality console, then your choice may be between PS3 and PS3 SLIM. What are their difference? What are they similar? What to choose in the end? About this below.

Sony PlayStation 3 game platform

The famous Sony company has long been successful among avid gamers who choose high-quality game consoles around the world. Their Sony PlayStation 3 has become an indisputable hit of sales and had a stunning success. Let's try to figure out why Sony Playstation 3 has become such a favorite console of many people.

The playing station is a catchy black box in the style of Sony, which weighs 5kg. Such a thing will not be so easy to reset from the table, if someone accidentally pull the power cord or the joystick. Length of this aggregate 98 mm, and width - 325 mm. All this is performed in a beautiful black gloss, which looks beautiful, although a little persecuted. The main thing is not to transfer it with bold fingers - there will be ugly prints on the housing.

The body of the console perfectly stands in itself: steadily and confident. The special stand is not needed, unlike its follower Sony PlayStation 3 SLIM. But about the last little further.

There are several versions with different rigid disks. You can order at 160, 80 or 40 GB. Of course, the price will be different. SATA hard disk system, so if you wish and a small snack, you can increase the volume by using scolding.

The Sony PlayStation 3 central processor consumes enough power. This can be judged by the impressive power supply, the power of which is 280 W. However, overheating the console rather exception than the constant minus.

Also, the console does not support games from Sony PlayStation 2 and does not perceive Card Reader. Unfortunately, these options developers are not corrected in the following model.

A good Sony PlayStation 3 bonus is the ability to install other operating systems (Linux for example). Therefore, variations of gaming products are slightly wider, depending on the installed system.

Sony PlayStation 3 Slim Platform

Sony Playstation 3 replaced the company introduced its new brainchild - Sony Playstation 3 Slim. If you do not delve into the nuances and test on skouring hand, The usual user will not notice any special changes. However, there are differences from the predecessor of Sony Playstation 3. We will describe them.

Immediately visual difference in appearance is visible. The color remained classic black, but the gloss disappeared. It changed a matte tone. Of course, it did not affect the gameplay, but there is already a variety. At least the finishes from oily fingers can not be seen on the case.

Also, the station itself became easier. Her weight is 3.2 kgthat significantly increases the mobile properties of the device. Along with weight, the prefix sizes decreased. Her length is 65 mm, and width - 290 mm. In terms of mobility, this is a good help - because now the favorite console can be taken to a friend who has a large plasma. It takes place in the backpack less, and the weight has become easier.

A small disappointment was the fact of instability of a new model - the Sony PlayStation 3 Slim could not stand. To do this, you need to purchase a special stand for it or already order it complete.

Pleasantly pleased with a hard disk. It became more in the amount. Sony PlayStation 3 SLIM comes on sale with a hard disk 250 or 120 GB. Although the discs are also SATA, therefore unscrewing the couple of screws, you can easily put the volume that myself wants.

The processor on the Sony PlayStation 3 SLIM company delivered more smartly, but which consumes a smaller amount of energy. Here the power supply has a power of 250 W, half of which uses the console processor. This is naturally plus, because you can not think about overheating at all. True, the difference in speed can be detected, only the launch of the latest games and testing both models. In the classic games that have proven themselves in the game world, the difference was not tangible.

The lowest place remains the lack of perception with the Card Reader console and the impossibility of running games with Sony PlayStation 2. Also, the developers in the model removed the support of other operating systems - now no longer rearrange the system to the console.

By summing up

If you sum up a little, then featuring consoles can be reduced to the following:

1. Visual changes. Here the glossy color was changed to the matte, although it remained black.
2. Gabarits.. The SLIM console itself has become slightly smaller in size and easier in weight. 3.2kg against 5kg Sony PlayStation 3.
3. Sony PlayStation 3 could stand independently, in Sony Playstation Slim, you need to get a special stand for stability.
4. Both consoles have SATA hard drives, however, the volume in the SLIM version increased to 250 GB. Although if desired, you can independently increase the hard disk in both options.
5. Sony PlayStation 3 is more prone to overheating due to a weaker, but voracious to electricity processor. Its block has a power of 280 W, and in SLIM - 250 W, from which the latter consumes only half of the power. True, the difference in performance can be felt only in very demanding games.
6. Both consoles do not support Sony PlayStation 2 games and do not see Card Reader, but the Sony Playstation Slim also deprived of the opportunity to establish another operating system to its platform. Sony PlayStation 3 in this regard is more versatile and supports other OS.

Here, perhaps, all the most important differences. Good shopping and winning games.

• RSX graphics processor 3.2 GHz (2 kernels) 256MB / 128bit

• RAM 256 MB Rambus XDR DRAM (3.2 GHz) + 256 MB GDDR3 (0,7gc)

• Hard disk 20 - 500GB (depends on the configuration)

• Blu-ray drive

• Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0, S / PDIF, HDMI

Despite the honorable age of the console, its characteristics do not seem very weak and outdated. The console does not work well with most modern games, even with loss of quality graphics. True, this is felt so far only in games overlooking all platforms. Exclusions look flawless - they are sharpened under PS3 parameters.

What is the difference between PlayStation 3 Fat, Slim and Super-Slim?

Console revisions from the point of view of technical characteristics are identical. But differ not only by sizes. PlayStation 3 Fat has 4 USB ports, a card reader is present, reads Super Audio CD, it is also possible to install Linux if the console firmware is below 3.15. PlayStation 3 SLIM has lost the following functions and has 2 USB ports.

But, in turn, Slim'ka was made on a more modern technical process, which made it possible to reduce the weight of the console, its power consumption and heat dissipation. The last two parameters significantly affected the reduction of noise during operation. The Super Slim version has become even more compact, the truth is the possibility of unlocking this version of the console, as well as the last batches of SLIM.

It should be noted that we are engaged in the PlayStation 3 and Playstation 4 game consoles in Minsk and as rolling PS3 we use the SLIM version of the consoles. With them really much less troubles than with the Fat version. Therefore, if you live in Minsk and there is a desire to rent a prefix, contact. Prices, conditions and others are here - hire of game consoles PS3 and PS4 in Minsk. We will make a discount of 10% if you say that I read the PS3 review from us;)

Ports and Console Connectors

On the rear panel of the console, you can detect the following connectors:

• Gigabit Ethernet port that is designed to connect PlayStation 3 to the Internet. There is also the ability to connect the console to the Internet via Wi-Fi
• HDMI connector - Designed to display high-definition video (supported via HDMI 720, 720i, 1080, 1080i)
• S / PDIF - Designed to display high-quality audio. By the way, for Melomanians PlayStation 3 can become excellent audio-binding. The prefix supports surround audio, not to mention standard.
• Next, there is a standard connector, known since the first PlayStation, you can output both sound and videos in the lowest quality (576p)
• Power connector. PS3 has a built-in power supply.

Front has:

• 2 USB 2.0 connector (the first version of PlayStation 3 - Fat has 4 ports)
• Blu-ray disc connector (Super Slim version is inserted from above)
• Only in Fat "ki still have card readers and an extension card connector

Via USB ports can be connected to external media (flash drives, external hard drives). The console recognizes music from them, photo, video. Thus, PS3 can be used as a multi-media system. But the most important thing is that you can reset your sane so that no one has accidentally deleted.

Devices designed for PS3

For the game, the standard DUALSHOCK 3 controller is used (we have a separate article) and the PlayStation Move - the device allows you to interact with the gestures. You can take Move and play, say on the box, the firing simulator, bowling and other games, but there will also need a special PlayStation Eye camera that can recognize gestures.

View menu and its features

The standard Menu PS3 is very similar in style with XMB (Xross Media Bar) PSP, and in general, Sony's corporate identity is easily recognized. In terms of use, I want to say the following: An hour later, another XMB wandering on XMB can already be about to navigate where it is located, even if it's not a different parameter in front of the eyes.

Everything works very quickly and smoothly. There is even a built-in browser, through which in case of acute necessity, you can wander through the Internet. There is also a built-in player to watch movies and listening to music. PlayStation 3 is also an excellent Blu-ray player . Otherwise, everything is as far as the modern gaming system relies - various settings, profiles, data management, Internet services, including PSN, where you can buy the game and so on.

The background color and the menu theme can be changed, there is an opportunity to even put a screenshot or photo on the back background. There are no complaints to navigation. Everything is simple and intuitive.

That PlayStation 3 has a standard set

Buying a prefix, it will be interesting and useful to know what is located with the PlayStation 3 in the box and what will need to be purchased.

This is what the standard console equipment looks like:

1. Console PlayStation 3
2. One gamepad DualShock 3 (along with Fat-Co in the kit was Sixaxis - it differs in the absence of vibration)
3. Gamepad Charge Cable
4. Cable for connecting to the network 220 V
5. Analag cable for connecting TV. (It is better to immediately buy a good HDMI cable - through an analog image is much lower than quality)
6. Instruction manual with demo disk

And the games for PlayStation 3 will be released and what is the console remarkable?

PlayStation 3 for more than 8 years of its existence on the market did not make a silent list of games. With the list of all games you can find in the special section of our site - games for PlayStation 3. And some of them are simply obliged to play any person who considers himself a real gamer.

Starting from November 15, 2013, there is a follower of PlayStation 3 - PlayStation 4. But, according to developers, games for the PlayStation 3 will still come out for several years. For example, FIFA 14 came out for PlayStation 2. In addition, PlayStatin 3 will not lose relevance for a long time thanks to such exclusions as: God of War 3, Gran Turismo 6, The Last of Us, Little Big Planet, Uncharted series and other.

Thank you so much for your attention to the article. Unfortunately, the block for comments is not ready yet. Therefore, if questions remained, then leave them under similar videos on my YouTube Channel. I will be glad to answer all your questions.

The new game console from Sony - PlayStation 3 SLIM is already sold. Only for the first week of sales in the United States and Europe, the number of copies sold over 500,000 pieces (this is despite the fact that the cost of the console has decreased from the estimated $ 600 to $ 299 - 29 980 yen in Japan and 299 euros in Europe). It should be noted that in addition to promoting your new product, Sony has also made television to eliminate the residues of "Tolstoy" PlayStation 3 in the dealers warehouses: the recommended price of the existing version of the PlayStation 3 with 80GB HDD is reduced to $ 299 from August 18 in the US and up to 299 euros August 19 in Europe. In addition, from August 18, in North America, the recommended Cost of PS3, 50 GB cuts, is 399 US dollars.

What has changed in PlayStation 3 Slim besides the thickness of the case? Unfortunately, to get an instance of the new console "on the analysis" did not work. The Sony Dealer strictly said that "in case of any serious scratch on the case or damage to the warranty sticker, it will mean that PS3 Slim we bought, and for the cashless payment to the organization and on extremely unprofitable conditions." The 3DNews colleagues were more successful in this regard, who managed to prepare PS3 SLIM. And lay out a photo report

As can be seen in the photo, in order to pack the PS3 SLIM filling in a new thin and lightweight case, Sony engineers had to seriously recycle the circle circuitry. The result of this undoubtedly long and painstaking work was to reduce the weight and thickness of PS3 SLIM by about 2/3 compared to the "Tolstoy" predecessor.

In addition, Sony designers equipped PS3 SLIM by a more compact and less energy-intensive power supply unit (now the flagship prefix Sony consumes about 250vatt), and also significantly reworked the console cooling system. The changes in the latter touched in the main design of the casing of the aircraft, the design of the radiator and the blown fan - the diameter of the latter increased to 95 mm, and the colussvo impeller increased to 17 pieces. The number of fan revolutions also reduced that with reduced eenrol consumption, the Sony PS3 SLIM component led to a significant decrease in low and mid-frequency noise in the console. The only thing you can reproach designers - using a 120GB of a hard disk of Toshiba producing, outstanding with a fairly well distinguishable high-frequency whistle. Which, however, is practically indistinguishable by rumor when the volume of the speakers of the stereo (or television) in the area of \u200b\u200bthe -40DB and higher.

The changes also touched the functional component of the console. As in PS3, on the motherboard, Sony PS3 Slim is the total two chip - 8 nuclear cells (Sony, Toshiba and IBM joint development) and RSX from NVIDIA. Initially, Cell is able to handle graphics, it is more than good - one of 8 nuclei is allocated precisely under the graphic operations, one thing - under the operation of the OPRATION System, another kernel is responsible for the sound, the remaining five are for other operations. The game developers are available for direct access specifically these are the five Cell processor cores. In PS3SLIM, the Cell graphics core was blocked, and all the graphics processing fell on NVIDIA RSX (Reality SyntheSizer or "Reality Synzator"). The main reason for the appearance of this graphics processor in PS3 and PS3 SLIM is the ability of the RSX to maintain permissions up to 1920 x 1080p (Full HD), while the Cell graphics core is able to give a picture in the "standard" modes NTSC / PAL (480i / 575i) with a faster scan. Appropriate, due to the presence on the board of two processors (we recall that Cell is based on the PPE - PowerPC Power Processing Element architecture) The total amount of PS3 SLIM memory (512MB) is divided in half - 256MB XDR memory is given to the needs of Cell, and 256MB memory DDR3 is given under NVIDIA RSX needs.

By the way, the hardware locking of the graphics core in the Cell processor on Sony PS3 Slim indirectly confirms that the company aimed at the release of absolutely new content for the gaming console, and therefore such a long-awaited dream of PS3 SLIM backward compatibility with games for Sony PlayStation2 is not destined to come true.

On this, the main changes in the Sony PS3 SLIM stuffing corresponded and end. All other changes are exclusively to the exterior and marketing positioning of the console. So, the Sony PS3 logo was subjected to modified (changed the style of writing, size) and changed the placement on the case. The hull itself was removed "tons of piano varnish", replacing the shiny and perfectly collecting fingerprints with a lacquer surface PS3 on a matte textured, equipped with only glossy plastic elements.

Sony Playstation3 SLIM now has a new coating and logo.

The touch panel requires exceeding the touch panel on the front side of the Sony PS3 SLIM abolished, Power and Eject are now made in the form of two large, round and well-spaced buttons. In other words, designers tried to fame, and the new, "stylish and compact PS3 SLIM will surely enjoy a wide audience of people seeking to acquire the best game console" According to Sony in a press release on the occasion of the start of the console on sale.

By the way, if earlier the name of the PS3 brand should be written as PlayStation 3, now Sony has officially changed writing on PlayStation 3. As stated in the Sony press release, "along with PlayStation®2 and PSP® (PlayStation®Portable), combined PlayStation family, the new PS3 model will help expand the PlayStation business and provide users with even more features using the service. PlayStation®Network"In other words, Sony's marketers for some reason were extended to increase the recognition of the already recognizable brands.

A special Sony header also makes it on the promotion of the loaded content and services of its own PlayStation Network. According to a press release, it is for the convenience of working with this network, the number of accounts in which all over the world exceeds 27,000,000 units (by the way, the number of content is just over 15,000 units. By a member of the expression of one of the testers with Ferralabs - "Good Please in a faceless flock, friendship "), the capacity of the hard disk PlayStation 3 SLIM has been increased in the database to 120GB, and the ability to replace the disk to 160GB by the user without losing the warranty. The main content for loading offered through playstation service Store - games, trailers, demo versions, movies and TV shows, the social network is called to replace the playstation home service - "The revolutionary 3D community of gamers, in which PS3 users can communicate and exchange impressions from the games", and with the function of the news service functions Card HELP Life with PlayStation.

In addition, new projects are SCE Worldwide Studios, including Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Eyepet, Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack in Time, Heavy Rain, God of War 3, Mag, Modnation Racer, Gran Turismo 5 and others will be released With the initial optimization of the code is under PS3 SLIM. So far, the console with the cases optimized under it, the games are tightly - loading the system and content with DVD on the PlayStation3 SLIM is slower than that of the original PlayStation 3.

True, when testing games, it turned out that, for example, "Batman: Arkham Asylum" is loaded faster on the new "thin" version of the console.

Among other features of Sony PS3 SLIM should be noted:

• Updated PS3 version 3.00 firmware.With the new firmware, PS3 SLIM users will receive new convenient features, including What's new news screen, where they can promptly find out about all the latest PlayStation Store. In addition, the XMB ™ menu will feature a list of recent user games, as well as the possibility of quick access to them. PS3 will continue to be improved by updating the system, which will continuously improve its functionality and offer users with new features using PlayStation Network. All new features will be available to PS3 users after updating PS3 to version 3.00 in the System Update Options (System Update) of the XMB * 3 menu.
• BRAVIA® SYNC ™ FUNCTION - When connecting to the Sony Bravia TV, using the HDMI cable, the PlayStation3 SLIM users will be able to manage the PS3 console menu using a regular television console. Among other functions of the console - System Standby, which automatically disables PS3 when the BRAVIA TV is turned off.
• "Vertical Stand" for the new PS3 SlimcECH-2000 series will allow you to fix a new PS3 SLIM in a vertical position and thus more convenient to place it anywhere. The stand will be on sale in Japan on September 3 at the recommended price of 2000 yen (including taxes) in North America at the recommended price of 24 dollar.
• In the package of PS3 Slim has long been outdated joystick Sixaxis finally replaced on beginner to outdated joystick dualshock3
• Support for the 802.11n high-speed wireless wireless network protocol, the PlayStation3 SLIM has not been added, although taking into account the huge sizes of modern games - this is a clear marketing miscalculation.
• Item "Bulletin Board" Replaced with "What's New", suspiciously resembling the Top-Sites screen in Safari - the screen of one click on which the favorite and / or last game, the main websites, communities, etc. are taken out.
• "STATUS INDICATOR" - Window in the upper right corner, in which now in addition, the dates, the controller numbers and the status of its battery will be displayed information, about the user's PSN account: the current avatar, the number of friends online, new messages from the PlayStation Network participants.
• "PlayStation Store" - For the PS Store icon in XMB, a preview is now available: it is not necessary to go to it, just to make the selection on it, and you will see a list of new products next to the icon. Such functionality is also planned to be made available for some other XMB applications and services.
• "Personalization" - For personalization, several new features are available: now you can choose an avatar, and an animated picture can be installed on the wallpaper in XMB.
• "TROPHIES" - Game developers were given the opportunity to divide the trophies available in the game on basic and additional (obtained during the passage of additions and add-ons of trophies). Lists of basic and additional trophies will be divided for users, so now additional trophies will not interfere with see what percentage of the basic game passed, this statistics will be available only in the scale of the main trophies.

In this honey barrel, created by the efforts of the Sony marketing department, it should be noted a spoonful of fight in the form of the absence in the firmware PS3 Slim third version of the function "Install another OS". According to the Sony press release, all the efforts of SCE Worldwide Studios and SCE Worldwide are aimed at improving the PS3 platform with sharpening the last exclusively for the game and entertainment content, and, therefore, give the user the opportunity to put on the PlayStation 3 SLIM another operating system at least, It is impractical.

To make a new PS3 system more thin and easy, the internal architecture has been completely revised - from the semiconductor materials used and the power supply to the cooling mechanism. Compared to the very first PS3 model with HDD 60 GB, the internal volume, as well as the thickness and weight of the console, decreased by about one third. Moreover, electricity consumption also decreased by a third, which made it possible to reduce the noise level when fan operation.

Inheriting from the original model, the streamlined body, the new PS3 is at the same time characterized to the smallest detail of the design and textured surface, which gives the console new image. Compactness and stability will undoubtedly attract the attention of a wide audience of buyers.
