I was surprised by the quality for this price.

I’ve known Sony set-top boxes for a very long time, I had experience with all consoles, I can say the following, the quality has remained at the same level, all the elements are optimally arranged, both in terms of cooling and power consumption, in general, there’s nothing to complain about. I can recommend for purchase, the only thing if you have a slim version, there is not much point in changing to super slim :))) p. S we are waiting for Play Station 4

Pros
  • Compact, 500 gigabyte hard drive, noisier than the previous version of the slim, heats up the same, no more no less, the assembly is good like all sony, in general the same console, only smaller and lighter than previous versions.
Cons
  • Maybe a little soiled due to glossy inserts, at the expense of the drive and the cover everything seems to be working fine, here you want to take matters of taste with an elevator load like in the slim version, if you want this, everything is the same.

The best thing for the money, I'm glad I chose this option.

For the price, this is a great solution. Fans of exclusive games should definitely take it. There are a lot of games and their passage will take quite so much time, and by that time the PS4 will have replenished its library with a huge number of games and then it will already be possible to safely take the PS4. And for those who want to keep up with the times, you can go straight to PS4. Great gift for yourself and kids

Pros
  • Pros: 1. Thinking about the choice of what to take: PS3 or PS4?. If you want to play a huge number of already released games, including exclusives that were released only on PS3, like Heavy Rain, then take it. There are a lot of games, and there are really serious projects. If you are chasing technology, want to experience something new in games, then definitely take the PS4. There are not enough games yet . but you won’t pass these games quickly. Because The games are designed in such a way that you won’t be able to relax too much. Games on PS4 are interesting and with beautiful graphics. 2. Build quality as always at the highest level. Sony knows how to make really high-quality products. Always been pleased with them. 3. There is a cross-play mode. You can play games on your PS Vita or PSP system while out and about or sitting under the balcony on a bench. I tried to play God of War for cross-play on PS Vita, I will say that it is convenient to play. Of course, not all games support this feature. But you can count 2 dozen. 4. HDMI I advise you to buy immediately, because. The included cord only supports 460 resolution. 5. There is a built-in Wi-fi module. You can also connect to the Internet directly by connecting an Ethernet cable to the appropriate connector. 6. Dualshok 3 is comfortable. Charging is enough for a week if you play 5 hours a day. 7. All the same, the console is already 8 years old, but still you can admire it. After all, it was she who brought the game to a new level. Before that there was PS2 and Ps One.
Cons
  • It makes no sense to describe the shortcomings, because. I want to compare it with PS4, well, of course PS4 will surpass it in all respects.

One of the best offers, glad I bought it.

I will not compare the console with a computer - you can compare Tetris with an iPhone. I bought the console because I don't have 300,000+ for a Meijin computer or even 100,000 for a Dell laptop. And my computer is very weak, it's impossible to play games - not only they lag, but they don't go at all. On the console, I went through Saints Row 3/4, and Far Cry 3, and GTA4, and Batman Arkham City, and Crysis 3, and I plan a lot more. And most importantly: on the console it is very easy to run the

Pros
  • 1) Games without brakes (well, adapted to the console - if only there were brakes) 2) It is absolutely possible to play 3D games without any problems 3) GTA5. No comments
Cons
  • 1) The console itself is VERY inexpensive compared to a good gaming computer or laptop, but the prices of games - no matter what anyone says, this is something. Of course, there are various promotions (I took GTA4 for 290, and TRON: Evolution and Front Mission Evolved for 990), but this is extremely rare, and even more so there is a small chance that these games will be of interest to you 2) No HDMI included 3) Not very good video reads. And without dancing with a tambourine you can’t throw off > 4 GB and MKV does not read, so scored on the video 4) It cannot be said that the list of 3D games is small, but there is not much that I like there, but this is no longer for the console 5) Gets hot

A little bit not what I expected, generally fine.

The best option is a fatka for 4000, flash it in half an hour and the price of the console immediately rises by 2022. Some pros: - simple hack - the presence of uncharted 2.3 - normally keeps the gamepad on time, although you can only charge it from the console (I also charged it from the phone through the adapter). And even then, when compared with the wii u gamepad, which holds a charge of 5-6 hours, in which more sensors, screens and technologies are built-in than in any modern device, then…

I'm very happy, it really is worth buying.

I bought myself in Hong Kong for 7300 + a hard drive for 500 for 320 GB (used) + official sled in aliexpress. It came out very cheap. As for games, I live in Hong Kong, my salary is over 30 thousand, I sell video games myself. I take games exclusively on ebay (due to the fact that it is easy to sell them later for the same money, sometimes even more expensive). I bought GTA 5 for 1500, ideally, for 500 grand turismo. It's not that expensive, it's a penny. New items, nfs rivals, battlefeed 4 -

Pros
  • The cost of the console is quite adequate, support for 3D blurs, design (IMHO), the ability to replace the hard drive with any one, support for third-party gamepads (much wider than boxing), EXCLUSIVES, EXCLUSIVES AND AGAIN EXCLUSIVES (in my opinion, there should be wii u and PS3, in half a year maybe another PS4, xbox one is not yet clear, you need to wait for igor)
Cons
  • PSN is weaker than live (there were all consoles and 3 xboxes 360, simple, slim and E), and even slows down, the interface is much weaker than microsoft consoles

I was surprised by the quality for the price.

Even now, this console can hold the bar, although it no longer has new releases, but it already has a lot of games that can be played for years. The graphics, of course, are already completely “not a cake”, especially at 1080p, although it’s a sin to complain, because the console has been around for so many years. In general, for players who are not demanding on the graphics, it will be the most.

Pros
  • -many games -great price -free multiplayer -More memory than competitors - no special hard drives are needed to replace the media -price (especially in the secondary market)
Cons
  • - not too convenient joystick (especially sticks) - Quite noisy - light gloss

I recommend to buy, the product is of high quality.

Voschem, the epic with Sonya began back in the 90s, there were different models and the 1st and 2nd (as throughout 2022) - in general, Sonya herself ended the soniboyism by releasing a fat woman - it was she who first pushed away from the products of this company and began to look at a competitor, which in the end I bought . I looked at the slims with the same contempt, because I can’t digest the suitcases . but at sunset they released the console that I wanted to see . although the exclusives…

Pros
  • Compactness , convenient conical spindle , not hot and elegant console . I won't write about all the features of the platform in general, everyone already knows about them .
Cons
  • Still, Sony could at least once become generous and finally put an HDMI cord into the kit, and then not go to a stall where they don’t hold you for a sucker and sell it at a sane price (190 only !) . and what I don’t like PSN, I personally think that the Nintendo version is better and more convenient, like the main menu of consoles . I don’t like controllers, I’ll take a la box 360 soon

Good quality product, the price is commensurate with the quality.

To be honest, I'm not a fan of any game consoles, simply because it's more convenient for me at the computer. But I somehow fell in love with this console. I bribed the opportunity to buy games on the Internet, as well as the fact that when you pay for a subscription, two games a month are given for free. In addition to the main function, on the console you can watch videos on YouTube and listen to music, that is, it is something close to a computer. As for the shortcomings, I did not find…

Pros
  • User-friendly interface, fast operation, the ability to purchase games via the Internet, YouTube and radio are available.
Cons
  • No

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

Worth picking up for PS3 exclusives and PS2 re-releases. Has pros: All games from PS3 (and a scattering of re-releases from PS2), including cool exclusives, not further re-released. Well, a large volume of the disk: for the third curling iron this is more than enough to instruct a bunch of games. Has some cons The most important thing is the resolution and image quality. If you think that "it used to be better" - you will definitely be disappointed. This is a very outdated console, on which the

Excellent product, the best quality.

An excellent game console that still never ceases to amaze, with a large selection of games, with a bunch of hits that can be listed for several pages, but this generation of consoles is already outdated and will soon be replaced by a new one with much more sophisticated hardware. What I like about game consoles, be it xbox or ps, you can easily take them with you anywhere, even in a summer house or lounge on the couch, and not sit at the table staring at the monitor. If you have not yet…

Pros
  • Size, design, build quality, a lot of games, an awesome gamepad, a good and very quiet cooling system, and so on.
Cons
  • Already outdated hardware, after all, 8 years after the start of sales of the fat version.

Poor product, the quality is below average.

Are you blind and deaf? where do these laudatory odes come from? she became noisier and hotter. When installed just in front of the TV, this ingenious solution to blow air back leads to freezes and stupidity after an hour or two of playing)))) and this "innovative" disc tray system/? is this on purpose so that the small ones would ruin the disks faster ? Its pros: Less than before Joysticks with batteries there are some great games Has cons: HEATING! NOISY! very slow (after xbox360)…

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

Bought it in 2022 and have no regrets. The prices for games in the store are ridiculous - from 89 on sales! A bunch of offices that change discs for 200-300, move, but all the fire! Same Rayman. Legend looks awesome for today, as does Uncharted 2-3, Tomb Raider, GTA5 and more. I think for another 3 years you can not think about switching to 4 with its horse prices for games.

Pros
  • A huge number of games, now (after a dollar for 70) an affordable price, a convenient joystick that is discharged in weeks, not hours.
Cons
  • The graphics are a little outdated, but not in all games.

The perfect product for any user!

Glossy inserts. Many people dislike them. Or do they not understand? For me, they have a rather useful function - they immediately say that the prefix is ​​\u200b\u200bsecond-hand, if in cool stores with low prices they hand me a scratched and hand-stained prefix and happily punch the check. And the fact that they scratch over time is not so important to me (an expensive suit is put on carefully, but they are worn like pajamas - dude etiquette). Prices. I am absolutely satisfied. I would be…

Pros
  • I've been on Playstation since 1996, buying PS3 for purely subjective and biased reasons. 1. Small size, light weight. 2. 500 Gb. Attention! The set-top box should have approximately 450 Gb due to the fact that the OS uses the binary number system in the properties, it will show just such a volume. This is normal and even natural. Plus, the software of the set-top box also takes some space. 3. Games (for me, the exclusives of Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5). 4. controller 3. For me, this is the most familiar gamepad. On PS3, it works wirelessly via Bluetooth. It contains rechargeable batteries instead of batteries, so it can be charged by connecting to any USB connector, both on the set-top box and on any device that has this port. After a full discharge, it takes 1.5-2 hours to charge. Note! To find out the battery charge, you need to hold the PS button and all the necessary indicators will light up on the screen. 5. Multimedia center. This console has so many features that after PS2 I had to wrinkle my forehead to figure it all out. Photos, music, movies - all this can be viewed from different media or uploaded to a set-top box. Comment! If you want to illegally (yep, that is, if you don’t have enough viewing of licensed Blu-Ray or DVD) to copy a movie to the HDD of the set-top box, then get ready to look for information on the forums and deal with the limitations of the FAT32 file system (a file larger than 4 Gb will not fit on HDD set-top boxes) and the unreadability of the MKV format. 6. Internet. Free PSN service. Play games with friends online, compete in competitions, purchase games from the PS Store and more. Built-in browser with basic features, plus watching videos (including YouTube), listening to music and all that. 7. You can connect USB keyboard and mouse from PC. Greatly simplifies Internet surfing.
Cons
  • I love flaws. Honestly. Without them, any thing loses its individuality. Although, this is a matter of taste. 1. Time killer for the whole family. The prefix terribly takes time and effort, relaxes the mind. It also puts people on an idle pastime and creates a serious addiction. 2. Unreadable MKV. However, after thoughtful manipulations, the problem is solved (read the forums).

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

When playing on a TV - the main thing is not to forget to activate the PC or game mode - to reduce the input lag. It also does not hurt to get a good set of acoustics with a receiver or an external DAC with an optical input. Different pros: Games, and above all exclusives, and even at the end of the generation, the release of such mega-hits as The Last of Us and Gran Turismo 6. And while many multi-platform games look better on the xbox, in most cases the sound is still better on the ps3. A…

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

I bought it for Heavy Rain, because such a masterpiece is not to be missed. Many people do not like the drive, which in their opinion is unreliable. I consider these claims to be unjustified. Firstly, the disc is perfectly inserted and removed, I don’t know why the rest have so many difficulties with this. And how you can break a disk by taking it out, I have no idea at all. Secondly, in which case the disk can be quickly removed, and it will not get stuck in the console. Thirdly, by thrusting…

Pros
  • - Design. Many people do not like it, but it seemed to me very stylish and original. - Compactness. The prefix is ​​very small and light, so there is always a place for it. - Convenient and intuitive interface. - Blu-ray drive. Ability to watch Blu-ray movies - Exclusives. There are a lot of cool and interesting games, and some can even rightfully be called masterpieces (Heavy Rain, The Last of Us). - DualShock 3 gamepad. Very comfortable - fits perfectly in your hand. Powerful battery, you can play all day and it won't sit down yet, while charging the controller in less than an hour. - Does not overheat. The first version of PS3 had this problem, but now it has been completely eliminated. The main thing is not to lean the console against the wall, then the cooling system will work perfectly.
Cons
  • - Price of games. I think everything is clear here - very overpriced. - The glossy surface is very dirty and attracts dust. - HDD. It has a rather low read speed, which is why some games sag a little FPS. So it’s better not to spare money and immediately buy an SSD with a much higher read speed. - There is no HDMI cable in the kit, and playing with a tulip is a mockery. - Pretty noisy.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Folks, be a little more reasonable. Well, the console is still 6 years old. It's strange to read about the claims to the graphics. I have a computer assembled personally and designed for all the most advanced games with maximum graphics (the cost of the system unit is more than 100 thousand). but I perfectly understood what I was buying and what to expect from this console. I wanted to play some exclusives that came out only for her and I play and enjoy them without looking for shadows from…

Pros
  • Pretty decent graphics by today's standards. Easy to use, multifunctional (here you have a video player, an audio player, a browser and a bunch of little things). The gamepad included is wireless, which turned out to be quite convenient. By the way, the gamepad charges just lightning fast. I bought a prefix and naturally the gamepad was discharged to zero. After half an hour of playing with the wire, the battery was fully charged. And the charge lasts for a long time. I have been driving for 4 evenings in a row after work GTA 5 and Last of us and have not yet sat down. Quite a convenient store with games, a free online game. There are no subscription obligations.
Cons
  • Taking into account the fact that the set-top box is already more than 7 years old (I mean the model itself, and not the period of its operation), there are no shortcomings at all. Please evaluate the prefix sensibly, given its age and capabilities. The biggest minus is the price of games (it is unreasonably raised) and the price of the console itself. Now the PS4 is coming out, and authorized Sony Centers are talking about the cost of PS4 in the region of 17-18 thousand. I took my PS3 500Gb for 14.490. I think it's a bit pricey compared to the new one. Although I also pre-ordered on PS4) There will be 2 tsatskis). Well, you can also write down the noisiness of the drive as a minus. In the room you can hear how the engines drive the head.) And the cheapness of plastic. All the same, the XBox looks more impressive, quieter and much more pleasant to the touch.

The right product for me, there were no problems.

A very good system, the name of which Super Slim does not justify itself at all. An unreliable drive that I don't use at all. I'm using a PS+ subscription. Beautiful design. In all the reviews they write about glossy inserts and that they get dirty, all this is complete nonsense, the plastic is such that it does not completely stain the console, and we buy it to play and not look at it. In choosing between PS and XBox, decide for yourself between joysticks, online services and exclusives. Two…

Pros
  • A very powerful console at the moment, although it is already the end of the generation, it still holds its own. Exclusives. Insanely convenient joystick (with a gyroscope), which lasts a long time to charge (charges directly from the INCLUDED set-top box via USB cable). Nice design. Does not play, does not creak. The assembly is excellent. Gorgeous graphics (HDMI!). Very fun to play with friends like Mortal Kombat, Little Big Planet, Resident Evil, etc. Instead of official dual shocks, you can buy unofficial joysticks, which are half the price. Huge hard disk space. Good PlayStation Plus system with discounts, exclusives, demos and 17 free games that change. Supports Wi-Fi, which is very easy to set up. Blu Ray drive. In general, this is not only a set-top box, but also a multimedia center for the whole family. You can buy a bunch of accessories.
Cons
  • I WOULD NEVER CALL SUCH A SUPER SLIM BOX, it weighs 2kg, it's huge. The drive doesn't seem reliable at all. The prefix is ​​quite noisy, but it does not heat up too much. Games take a long time to load (from disks). Not very user-friendly XMB interface. Playstation Home is completely crazy. All accessories are insanely expensive. The included cable leaves a lot to be desired. You will have to immediately buy an HDMI cable.

A good product, more pros than cons.

As for games, the console is very good. There are high-quality projects from which you will get a lot of impressions, of course there are also not very games. It is worth considering carefully the purchase of the game, look at the reviews of the opinions of other players, before giving money for it. Yes, I almost forgot, if anyone thinks that you can download pirated games and play it, then firmware 42022, 4.31 will not be sewn. Though it's only a matter of time.

Pros
  • Compact, does not take up much space, although someone like =). Many say that it makes a lot of noise, I wouldn’t say that, it works quietly, you turn on the vacuum cleaner, it makes noise there. The cover from the drive breaks, the cover is like a cover if your hands are crooked, then you will break not only the drive =), this applies not only to PS 3. Everything is fine with me. Good games are made on it, unlike the PC heaven and earth. For example God of War 3. I enjoyed it tremendously. You won't expect this from a PC =). They say the graphics are bad, well, bad if you play the old ruby. Buy an HDMI cable and a 1080i TV and you'll be fine. It is possible to buy and download games from Sony sites at a reduced price.
Cons
  • Reads flash drives only FAT 32. But about the PS 3 operating system, it seems that you can view photos, watch videos, listen to music. I inserted a flash drive with photos, but I did not see anything. Although the jester knows him, maybe he didn’t do it right. I don’t need it in printsepe, I took it for the game. Browser Jopan full =). Not comfortable. Games are expensive, the Japanese are greedy people. I'm certainly not against the license. But pay 2022, at least 900.

I would definitely recommend the purchase, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

For a very long time I chose a prefix, I settled on PS3. I use it at 146%. I play drakeface, said Igor's new album Drowning, I watch action films and sometimes soap operas. Glad the new PS3 has SystemOptimizedAndPeformed. Very handy joystick unfortunately only -720p, not 1020p. PS3 suits me very well for gaming, has no flaws. Games: I don't play much because it's not the main thing for me. I highly recommend to everyone.

Pros
  • There are so many that it's impossible to write them all.
Cons
  • I didn't find them.

I bought something to play GTA V with friends (I bought Super Slim 500gb + an additional gamepad + Wi Fi + GTA V, everything turned out to be 16 thousand) I have a problem that the Internet is weak, and everything is very good) I once did not have a console and I really wanted it) now I'm sitting, playing, I'm very happy . I don't notice the noise anymore. I really like to lie on the bed and play . oh this feeling :D
