I think they should give the Slim a little update visually, maybe add a little chrome somewhere etc, it is very bare and basic atm, especially compared to how good the 60gb looks.

Off-Topic, I'm P/O at my Slim since the fans seem to be more noticeable than my old 60gb!! They are higher pitched so I can hear them alot clearer, sounds like the 60gb at full speed only from as soon as you start up. I know its not just mine because my m8s sound the same, I think people were really exaggerating saying you have to put your ear to it to hear anything at all.

Blaine5718d ago

When I first got my slim I could hardly hear it at all.

Now it's a bit louder at times, but it never gets anywhere near as loud as my phat used to get.

raztad5718d ago

@Blaine

Time for you to clean you PS3 in. Probably dust and stuff are obstructing the fans. A vaccum cleaner is recommended.

RedDragan5718d ago

A vacuum cleaner? I say a Dyson Cleaner should be used!

That machine is just so epic it deserves it's own category! XD

WhittO5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

Ok, just tested it and turning it on the fans are quite quiet and can barely hear it, but after about 10 min of gaming and the fans kick into next gear it is really noticeable because it's like a sort of high-pitched whine, not really loud in terms of overload lol, more in terms of the higher pitched noise compared to the phat 60gb.

I was thinking of taking it back since I've read online many people have this "problem", where some are totally silent and others you can hear quite well due to the higher pitched noise. But I have already transferred all of my stuff off my phat and wiped that so I would have no backup lol.

Just so I know, after about an hour of gaming, can you hear your Slim from say, 3-4 metres away from it?

(Also, my ps3 has great space all around, entire shelf to itself that is totally open, room isn't really hot, totally free of dust as I clean&Vacuum every week etc.)

Motion5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

I have one of the later phat versions, the 80Gig, and that thing is SILENT. I seriously have to have my head within a foot or two in a near silent room to hear anything coming out of it.

rockleex5718d ago

Or does the PS3 slim match classic white more then black?

gamestorecowgirl5718d ago

Let me know how heavy it is if you can. I want a pink one too, but I'd like some heft to the controller.

BYE5718d ago

Pink controller is perfect to play KZ3. It makes you look badass.

Theonik5718d ago

Kz3 needs its own Hello Kity branded controller!

I will get a second PS3...

...when Sony makes the WHITE version available in the UK.

HINT HINT!

westy5525718d ago

Is there any info about the white one coming to the uk??

Kurisu5718d ago

Not that I know of :(

PirosThe4th5718d ago

to think when i go my 40gb from japan. They run out of white ps3. I was going to get one. But got a Japanese black one instead...
I guess if i had the white one now. I could easily sell it for a lot and buy a black one... >___>

vhero5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

I would get the White PS3 and the White and Blue PSP they are both lovely! Why don't sony ever release these things outside Japan to retail stores?? They would sell loads but they decide to either make Japan only or limited edition (like with PS2).

There's a serial dis-agreer on the loose!

Motorola5719d ago

Who cares about that 1 loser that disagrees. Just think of random disagree-ers as people walking up to you for no reason and just saying DISAGREE even though u said nothing. What would u do? Ignore them. What to do with these losers? Ignore

DaTruth5718d ago (Edited 5718d ago )

Reminds me of that N4G video. Lol!

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle15d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7715d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde22d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy22d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7723d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga23d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199223d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga23d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac23d ago (Edited 23d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman22d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger23d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box23d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion22d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7223d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7523d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit23d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14923d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7723d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
