At first glance, the slim Playstation 3 is a huge improvement on the older, fatter, lighter model, the only downside so far I can see about the fact that it is lighter and thinner is the fact that I really don’t like standing the console up as I feel it will fall over. Ok, you can buy stands to do this job but after splashing out on a brand new games console, I really don’t want to then buy a stand. Surely Sony could have included a stand. On the plus side though, the fact that it is thinner means it fits easier into my TV cabinet and isn’t causing the shelf to sag with the weight.
Anyway, the new design looks much better than the original PS3 and now looks better than the Xbox 360 and doesn’t suffer from smearing fingerprints like the older model, but that’s not why I bought it. Yes, there are websites like urfreegifts.co.uk and freebieangel.com where you can get these consoles for free but if you want to pay for your PS3, here’s what you can expect for your money.
Setting up the PS3 is relatively straight forward, even for someone not so technically minded. Sign up to the Playstation Network using the built in Wi-Fi connection for free and install the latest updates as well as free demos or buy games, movies or music, the PS3 has enough storage for all your needs and if it doesn’t, you can always upgrade your memory. One of my pet hates about the XBox is that you need to pay if you want to play games online, unlike Sony’s PlayStation Network, I grudge paying money to buy a game only to have to pay some more monthly for the privilege of playing online. Yes, you can pay money for downloading Movies or buying games but this is an option.
