Review on Game console Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim 500 GB HDD, black by Stanisaw Augustynowi ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

I bought almost zero from my hands (only 3 months in use) for only 7.5k. I've been using it for 4 months now. In general, the impressions of the console are good. As a BD player, there are no comments. The problem of the high cost of games is solved by a flea market and promotions in stores (discounts + 2 / 3 for the price of one) - I have already scored 20 discs, I gave approximately 8k in general. + some games on PSN + and sales in it. As a media player - it's more convenient for me to use the built-in TV, it's more ubiquitous. I replaced the HDD with an SSD - I would not say that the download speed has grown so much (after all, SATA1), but the responsiveness in many places has become noticeably better. IMHO, 500 GB, in general, is not really needed inside the console itself - most of the games are played from a disk, media can be kept on external drives, and PSN plushness is a separate conversation :)

Pros
  • - compact and not hot - BD player that reads absolutely any BD discs without problems (inexpensive separate players have problems with this) - practically silent - CO is not audible at all, only a working drive (the noise is small, but still noticeable at night) - a considerable number of interesting Single-exclusives (compared to the same X-Box) - as the owner of a PC with i5 and HD7950, I liked the picture, especially in exes; in general, the multiplatform does not look so deplorable, but a strong blur, closer LOD, weak anti-aliasing, simplified effects and SSAO are noticeable (I ran a little in Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider) - a very tenacious gamepad - it feels like the charge lasts for 15 - 20 hours, and this is with its low battery capacity (like ~ 600mAh) - the Xbox 360 game consumes 2x1500 batteries for the same period of the game; charging ~ 2 hours.
Cons
  • - plastic quickly gets dirty from dust and fingers, and does not look very good at all - there is a lack of confidence in the reliability of the drive cover - very expensive games - fresh novelties are offered for 2.5k; discs in stores, even "ancient" games (before 2022) - 500 - 900; - not all games allow themselves to be installed on the HDD, unlike the Xbox 360 (I want to save the drive, faster loading, less noise); - the game does not like falls - it fell only once from half a meter with its body onto linoleum, and X began to fail; X-boxes are tenacious in this regard (for several years they fell more than a dozen times and even met a wall a couple of times); - Wi-Fi g-standard gives a maximum of 2 MB / s - with an Internet of 40 Mbps and the weight of games from 10 GB is depressing :( - it is difficult to use it as a media player - it does not accept information from external drives in NTFS (and this is now de facto for Windows flash drives / HDD), and with support for media formats, it also does not have everything as it should be (mkv does not see, only Orthodox mp4 ; also with mp4a and flac / alac - only mp3 :/) - HDD 5200rpm - this greatly reduces the comfort of using the console: unhurried interface, long installation from a BD-disk, long launch of games (even installed ones) and the market, poor responsiveness of the console menu in the game and the market; in short, the installation of a hybrid / SSD suggests itself
