What's Under the Hood

The PlayStation 3 320 GB system features an IBM "Cell" processor and a co-developed NVIDIA graphics processor that together allow the system to perform two trillion calculations per second. Yet the 320 GB system manages to improve on this with its 45nm version of the processor, which although running at the same 60+nm speed as previous PS3 versions, uses less energy. This makes the unit's "slim" size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 320 GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. Finally, it features cross connectivity with your PC network and PlayStation Portable (PSP) handhelds and its huge pre-installed, 320 GB hard drive allows you to save games, as well as download content from the Internet.

320 GB of PS3 power paired with a DualShock 3 controller.

Blu-ray, PlayStation Network Downloads and Beyond

PlayStation 3 utilizes the Blu-ray disc media format, which gives you the best high-definition viewing experience on your television, by way of the format's ability to hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This tremendous capacity, combined with the awesome power of the system's processor and graphics card, promises an endless stream of mind-blowing games and other multimedia content. This doesn't mean though that the PS3 is limited to Blu-ray discs. It also supports CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. In addition, PlayStation 3 system software includes BD Live support that allows you to play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE), meaning you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format to obtain additional features. And of course PS3 owners also receive free access to the PlayStation Network (PSN), where through the PlayStation Store and PlayStation Home, they can download games, game demos, movies and other content, as well as chat with friends, play mini-games, compete in tournaments and explore dedicated game spaces.

A Sensational Controller

The matching DualShock 3 wireless controller included with the PlayStation 3 320 GB system provides an intuitive gameplay experience, with pressure sensors in each action button and the inclusion of the highly sensitive Sixaxis motion sensing technology. Each hit, crash and explosion is more realistic when the user feels the rumble right in the palm of their hand. The DualShock 3 can even detect natural movements for real-time and high precision interactive play, acting as a natural extension of the user's body. DualShock 3 utilizes Bluetooth technology for wireless game play and the controller's detachable USB cable to seamlessly and automatically charge the controller when connected to the PlayStation 3. By integrating all of these features into the popular PlayStation controller design, the DualShock 3 further enhances the advanced gameplay experience only available on the PlayStation 3 system.

Video Streaming

The PlayStation 3 320 GB system is fully compatible with a range of video streaming options to suit every taste, including Netflix,¹ Hulu Plus, CinemaNow, MLB.TV and NHL GameCenter (required subscriptions for each service sold separately). The PS3 also supports some movies and TV shows in 1080p high definition with Dolby 5.1 channel surround sound.

Synch with Your Other Sony HDMI Devices

The PlayStation 3 320 GB system features HDMI + Bravia Synch functionality. Bravia Synch allows connectivity between Sony HDMI products, without having to utilize multiple remote controls. This means that with the push of one button users can control compliant Sony devices connected to your PS3 via HDMI cable.

The 320GB PS3 Slim - a good choice if you don't want to upgrade to PS4 for a while...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 20, 2013

Verified Purchase

Recently, my five year old PS3 Fat 60GB started showing signs of age, among other things it appears to be getting louder and it seems to be running hotter. So I finally decided to upgrade to a newer PS3 model. Even though my Fat 60GB hard drive is small (I never upgraded it), it is a tough act to follow with the features it has compared to the "newer" PS3's. First off, it is one of the few PS3's that is PS2 disc-compatible (without having to repurchase your game from the PS Store), it has four USB slots, and it has media card slots - which I use frequently because I own a Sony HD Video cam that uses the HG Duo memory card. I was surprised to find out that the newer models don't have near the features as my Fat model did, but I can see now that was an economic decision by Sony to lower the production cost and lower the cost of the PS3's to the consumer.

When I started doing the research on the next unit, I thought I was ready to purchase the new "Super Slim" PS3 with 500GB. But after a little more research, I balked after comparing it to the Slim model; and when I went and looked at the Super Slim in person I was not that impressed with the "new" build construction. YMMV, but it just seemed to me that it was not as solidly constructed as the Slim model, and nowhere near the solid construction of the Fat model. I guess I am old-fashioned in this sense, I actually prefer things that are solidly built as opposed to some of the "newer, cheaper" lifecycle many manufacturers go through.

More importantly, the new top-loading disc tray of the Super Slim did not appeal to me. I thought the door that slid open was poorly made, and it was not smooth. Then, I heard the disc loading process, and I could hear it spinning and other noises. Finally, the fan was still semi-loud - not as bad as the original "Fat" (which can be loud), but it was still fairly audible and louder than the Slim model I looked at (see below).

I then kept doing more research, and went over to a friend's house who had the "Slim" model. His was a 250 GB I recall, but the important thing was it still had the front loading disc, it was dead quiet, and it ran very cool. Compared to the FAT, it was cool to the touch, where the FAT is noticeably hot after running for a while. His was 3 years old he said, and never had an issue. I did not like the fact it only had 2 USB ports, and no media card slots, but then again that is the way most of the PS3's have been configured for quite a few years now. I also did not prefer the predominantly matte plastic construction - but did like the smaller footprint and lighter weight. And even though the construction is not as solid as the Fat model, it is definitely a step up from the Super Slim IMHO. It also has the matte finish, which I am lukewarm about, but at least no more fingerprints!

So based on further research checking out articles / forums for the choice between the Slim / Super Slim, I went with the 320GB *Slim* model (Uncharted III Package). We have been using it for a about a week now, and my initial impressions are good. I like the smaller size, it runs cool, and I don't hear any fan or disc noise - it is dead quiet. It does everything identically to my original Fat PS3, I do not notice any performance differences while gaming, watching Bluray and 3d Blu ray, or navigating with it. It was a seamless upgrade in every sense.

I did do a PS3 to PS3 transfer of the data from the old FAT system to the new Slim, and that went off without a hitch. I am very pleased with the new Slim model, and I am glad I made this choice. I do not want to be an "early adopter" of the PS4, and plan on getting a couple of more years out of the PS3 platform / titles. I will consider the PS4 after the kinks / bugs are worked out, and when there are a plethora of game titles available for it. I never like to be on the bleeding edge for new technology, and why I am opting to upgrade my PS3 with the Slim model. The old FAT is going into the family room as a Blu ray player, and for occasional second gaming station. I plan on upgrading the Slim 320GB with a 750GB drive as my boys are demanding more room these days, and then I will put the 320GB drive from the Slim into the older FAT.

I can only hope the Slim lasts as long and works as well as my FAT did, and I will update at a later date if needed if I find anything that warrants it. Bottom line is that I ended up choosing the Slim model over the Super Slim model to bridge the time until I make the PS4 leap Your mileage may vary, but I don't think I am alone in this choice. The Slim models are getting harder to obtain for a fair price, and I bet around the time the PS4 comes out they will be even more scarce.

Thanks for reading!!

I thought I would write up this review and cover some of the things I feel others have left out of their reviews of the PS3.

First thing, PS Home. It's a full-on virtual world for you and your friends to mingle, play FREE games within PS Home, customize your house (which if I had this nice of an apartment with this awesome of a view in real life I would be one very happy camper), customize your avatar (which is 100x more realistic than your cartoony Xbox avatar), among other cool things I'm sure, all for FREE. My only complaint with PS Home is the pricing of some of the avatar and apartment extras, but this is a complaint on Xbox too. I mean this is digital clothes and furniture we are talking about here, not physical! I shouldn't have to pay a real dollar for a digital shirt for my digital avatar. I guess they have to make money on something though.

Second, PS+. Sure you can play online with your friends free (which is a major plus for PS3). So why pay for PS+? I'll tell you why. The wealth of freebies! Already in my 30 day PS+ trial I have downloaded; 3 PSone games (Syphon Filter 1-3), 4 Minis (sort of like small XBLA games), also both PSone games & Minis can be played on PS3 and PSP. Saving the best for last, Back to the Future: The Game Episodes 1-5 (which is a PS3 exclusive, and was a big disappointment for me when it came out and I didn't have a PS3 yet, as I am a huge BTTF fan). All for FREE! What I'm not 100% sure about is whether you can still play these games if you cancel the PS+ subscription, but if Sony keeps it coming with the freebies, it more than justifies the cost of PS+.

Third, DC Universe Online. It's FREE! Free to download & free to play! I'm currently downloading it, clocking in at around 15GB, and with my slowish DSL it is gonna take about 5 forevers, but I have no doubt it will be worth the wait time. I will say this though, I'm not 100% sure if it currently being free for me is due to the PS+ subscription or not, but if you need PS+ to play it, it's still cheaper than most pay-to-play MMOs.

When you buy a new PS3 these days, you are given just a wealth of extras. I am highly impressed! I haven't even hardly cracked into the Uncharted series, which is the reason I bought a PS3 in the first place. Sony has won me over, and while Xbox Live has impressed me over the years, PS+ definitely gives you more bang for your buck.

Will I get rid of my 360 now? Not a chance! Most multiplats work/look better on 360. Besides, I have WAAAY too many 360 games that I love. I have always been a multi-console kind of guy anyway, and now my current generation family is complete, and this newest family member brought gifts with it! Hooray! My PS3 looks quite dashing next to my Xbox 360 & Wii...

So in closing if you don't have a PS3 yet. What are you waiting for? Go for it! You will not be disappointed!

EDIT: The freebies from PS+ do expire with your PS+ service, but you can play them as long as you are a PS+ subscriber. They also renew when you renew, so if you let your PS+ membership run out, you can always get your games back once you sign back up. Now going on 2 months of PS+ service I have well over 20 games from the service that didn't cost me an extra penny, so $50 a year is well worth it in my opinion. PS+ is also shaping up to be a way better value to me than XBL Gold, I have never received any free games from Xbox in my 5 years of being a XBL Gold subscriber.

As for DC Universe Online, it's free-to-play whether you have PS+ or not, so it's a decent alternative to all the pay-to-play MMOs out there. Sure WoW might be a tad more fun, but seriously who wants to pay $10 a month just to play 1 game. Unless you have unlimited time to play games you are simply wasting money with pay-to-play games.

So there you have it. You are getting a lot of bang for your buck with PS3, so what are you waiting for? I noticed the price on this bundle is going up, which means they probably aren't making this particular bundle anymore. Although I'm sure there is another similar bundle out there.

I was in the market for a newer PS3 since my older "fat" model was nearing the end of its use. This upgraded model is very nice, and I love the matte black finish on it so not to leave any unsightly fingerprints. For the price you get what you see on the box which isn't a bad thing, and the game (Uncharted 3) is definitely worth the play-through. The Dual-shock controller that comes with this bundle also has a matte finish, unlike the glossy finish on previous controller models.

I would recommend this to anyone looking to pick up a PS3 as a starter console or even as a replacement, but with the new slimmer model that has been released after this model is still an option if you are looking for more memory or just an all around space saver. You can easily swap out the hard drive in any PS3 though, so really it comes down to personal preference.
