Then you have the power cord plugged into the PS3 Slim the wrong way...the words written in white on the power cord have to be facing up when its plugged into the PS3 or it will get really hot and may even catch on fire!!Get more detail about PlayStation 3 120 GB.

Purchase PlayStation 3 120 GB


This review is from the perspective of an import gamer.
Overall, I'd say the console is not bad, but certainly not perfect and definitely isn't as great as the PS2.

Pluses:

+ With the price drop and re-design, the slim definitely became an attractive purchase, especially as a long-time PS2 fan.
The console is definitely larger than even the fat PS2, and quite heavy, but it's not overly large.
+ I appreciated that games wasn't region locked and that you could sign up for PSN accounts in multiple regions to download content from around the world.
+ It was actually quite fun to try out different demos and videso.

Minuses:

- What caused me to return this within two days is the lack of customizable buttons for confirm and deny in the XMB.
I have no idea why Sony feels they need to force the user to use X for confirm in US regions.
- Library of games is still quite sparse, even after 3 years, especially in the genere of RPGs and visual novels.
With the release of Tales of Vesperia and FF XIII, things are looking brighter on this front though.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 120 GB.

Order PlayStation 3 120 GB


The PS3 Slim blows Xbox360 out of the water. It is quieter, a blu ray player, the controls are better, the games are better, and the biggest plus is it doesn't break down like Xbox360s do (look up red ring of death for Xbox360s if you need to research further). At this price you can't go wrong with a PS3. Get more detail about PlayStation 3 120 GB.
