Sony playstation 3 slim 160gb manual

Maybe so, but pick the Slim up and it feels quite substantial. And while we're sure Sony doesn't want people referring to the Slim using adjectives like cheap except when it comes to the price tag , the company does want this PS3 to appear more "casual" and appeal to a wider audience read: casual gamers.

In that regard, the PS3 Slim's new design and finish seem well thought out. And the new system is not without a little glam--there's a mirrored strip on the front of the unit next to the opening of the slot-loading disc player and some glossy plastic on the sides.

Those shiny finishes, like the glossy finish on the "fat" PS3, do pick up fingerprints, and it's also worth noting that the matte finish does absorb the oil from your skin and attracts smudges. In other words, if you end up handling your PS3, expect to have to wipe it off from time to time just like the old "fat" model.

Some people will like that the master power switch is gone, but parents with small children would probably prefer if Sony had left it on the back to keep their toddlers from accidentally turning on the system. The new button in front is nice and responsive and doesn't require too firm a touch to turn the system either on or off this system appears to boot up just as quickly as the old system--in just less than 20 seconds , so your little ones will have no problem firing up your PS3 in your absence.

According to Sony, to achieve the new small size, the internal design architecture of the PS3 Slim has been completely redesigned, "from the main semiconductors and power supply unit to the cooling mechanism. The PS3 Slim is powered by a new 45nm version of the Cell processor, which runs at the same speed as the 60nm processor in the "old" PS3 but is smaller and more energy efficient.

Company representatives said that power consumption for the Slim has been cut from watts to watts. We'll be verifying the Slim's power consumption with our own independent testing soon. Ramping down the power consumption and, more importantly, the heat the system generates has let Sony tone down the cooling fan.
