PS3 Slim was supposed to have network storage (that is, no local hard drive)
Posted on December 14, 2009 | No CommentsDid you know that, at one point, Sony considered constructing the PS3 Slim around the concept of network storage? That is, instead of there being local storage (hard drive, memory cards, etc.) you'd store all of your data on Sony's servers then retrieve said data over the Internet. Now that would have been radically different.

One million PS3 Slims sold worldwide since its launch
Posted on September 24, 2009 | No CommentsFinally, actual PS3 Slim sales numbers. Before all we had were percentages—sales up 300 percent over last week, that type of thing. Anyhow, Sony sold one million PS3 Slims since its launch back on September 1. That's worldwide, mind you.

Final Fantasy XIII PS3 Slim to land in Japan by year’s end
Posted on September 24, 2009 | No Comments
The PS3 Slim is a hit, but hopefully Final Fantasy diehards haven't already purchased one. Sony has a special white and pink edition coming that will honor the franchise. Plus, it will come rocking a 250GB HDD. So far the special edition is only announced for Japan though. It's slated to be released on December 17 for ¥41,600. (That's a ¥11,620 premium over the standard PS3 Slim)

PS3 Slim doing pretty well: Sales up 300 percent
Posted on September 11, 2009 | No CommentsWell look at that: not only is the PS3 Slim a big success over in Japan but it's also doing pretty damn well here in the U.S. Sales were up some 300 percent in at Sony's “top retailers,” comparing the the week it launched to the previous week.

To call the PS3 Slim anything but a huge success would be disingenuous
Posted on September 7, 2009 | No CommentsOh, if only Sony had somehow released the PS3 Slim back in November, 2006, how different things would be! The sales reports are staring to trickle in from Japan, and Sony sold some 150,000 during the first three days of availability. That represents the system's best showing ever.

The PS3 Slim runs way faster with firmware v3.0
Posted on September 2, 2009 | No CommentsFrom the fine folks who brought us the first video comparison comes another batch showing that the PS3 Slim is, in fact, faster than the PS3 fatty. However, I’m sure you noticed that the Slim is running firmware v3.0 while the fat is still on v2.8. Regardless, the Slim is booting up and loading faster [...] -
Videos: Is the PS3 Slim slower than the PS3 Fat? (We’re talking miliseconds here.)
Posted on August 31, 2009 | No CommentsThe PS3 Slim literally took the world by storm last week, shaking the Heavens themselves in the process. But this new development warrants our attention: is the PS3 Slim slower than the PS3 Fat (or is that Phat? Help me, Internet.)? A bunch of videos posted to YouTube certainly seem to indicate as such.

PS3 Slim expends half the energy of the PS3 Fat
Posted on August 27, 2009 | No Comments
What would it be like to have a real testing lab instead of working in the makeshift "lab" that is John's attic? A blogger can dream. Or we can take a look at an outfit like Cnet.
The boys over at CBS tested the new PS3 Slim against the PS3 Fat using an array of power consumption tests. The verdict?

Lossless: Unlike PS3 Fat, PS3 Slim supports Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio
Posted on August 21, 2009 | No CommentsSony giveth, and Sony taketh away. About six people were upset that Sony decided to, once and for all, kill PS2 backwards compatibility with the PS3 Slim. But as the rubbish opening sentence implies, PS3 Slim owners will, indeed, have something over their PS3 Fat (is that the standard nomenclature now?) brethren: Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio support.

45nm Cell microprocessor confirmed in PS3 Slim
Posted on August 20, 2009 | No CommentsIt’s not too hard to believe that Sony would have tinkered under the hood of the PS3 Slim and today we’ve learned that those assumptions are, in fact, true. The Slim now has a 45-nanometer Cell microprocessor, which was jointly developed by Sony, Toshiba and IBM. Benefits of the new fangled chip based on IBM’s [...] -
Gundam to be the very first Sony PS3 Slim bundle
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No Comments
Sony loves them some bundle packs and the Gundam franchise will be the first to grace the box of a PS3 Slim. The Japanese only box will include Kidou Senshi Gundam Senki and will save gamers a few yen. But the pack also includes product codes for FA-78-3 Full Armor Gundam and RX-81AS Assault Armor DLC packs, and an original HD animated Gundam film.

PS3 Slim: Too little, too late, or dy-no-mite!
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No CommentsWatching the news come in yesterday about the PS3 Slim, I said to myself, “Man, this is great for Sony, especially if we're still in 2006.” Harsh, perhaps, but the sentiment is spot-on: had Sony released the PS3, Slim or otherwise, at $299 back in the autumn of 2006, we could well have seen an effortless transition between the PS3 and PS3. As it turned out, three years later, we're left wondering this: Is the PS3 Slim enough to, say, re-ignite the Console Wars?

The PS3 Slim vertical stand will cost $25
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No CommentsOkay, who is surprised by this pricing? Anyone? Probably not. Official add-ons have been overpriced for decades and the vertical stand for the PS3 Slim is no different. All this means is that shortly after the launch, 3rd party companies will out their own version that will cost $10 to $15. Or you can just lay [...] -
Poll: Are you going to buy a PS3 Slim?
Posted on August 18, 2009 | No CommentsNow that Sony finally dropped the price of the PS3 down to $300 will you buy one? A better question might be: are you going to pick up a 80GB or 160GB PS3 because the Slim doesn’t support Linux? Sound off in comments on that last one. Are you going to buy PS3 now that [...]
