The packaging is kept in my opinion a bit dreary. You could at least have something lively or incentive printing in it. Just so sad, but enough is also the content: In addition to the 320 GB PS3 and DualShock 3 Controller is a network, Scart and charging cable for the controller and all the manuals. One would even in this day and age can pack a HDMI cable to but separately they are selling very well indeed and thus provide more revenue flows - using the slogan: "A scart cable does indeed on any TV. "
Unlike its "big brother", the Slim console not brilliant, but a matte finish. The touch-sensitive disk eject and on / off button are now become pressure sensitive buttons and the wireless LED light is completely absent. The two USB ports on the front also have a stock as the optical input, the HDMI and Scart connector on the back - only the switch / rocker to activate and deactivate one misses (was with the PS2 slip so; for whatever reason).
Switching off its PlayStation 3 for the first time directly via HDMI cable, you get truly a shock: Welch resolution that is similar to a PlayStation 2. But do not worry: In the following settings you have the possibility to switch the connection to HDMI and thus provide a crystal clear image.
If you have completed all the necessary startup settings, you get into the PlayStation menu, which had taken a seat at the PSP before the appearance of the PS3. Here you have the settings still be able to pull his PS3 to own wishes and ideas of individualization under.
Once you did, so are a now more options available for the PlayStation 3 is a multimedia station. Videos, movies, music and photos can be easily play in almost any format on the PS3 and then consider. With a gigantic hard drive of 320 GB (298 on your own) are open to a lot of ways to use the PS3 not only as a pure game console.
However, there are also many other ways, its hard disk (un) willingly fill: After registration on the PlayStation Network has, for example access to the PlayStation Store, in the free (eg demos, trailers, ...), but you also paid (eg additional contents for some games, PS1 classics, ...) content using a credit card or with the separately sold PlayStation Network credit cards can (in 20- or 50-version available) Download. Other companies, such as "Love film", have partnered with Amazon, which sell their products with the PlayStation 3. These cooperators are already integrated with the latest updates already in the PS3.
The main functions and the most frequently used functions should not be ignored, of course: PlayStation 3 games and Blu-ray movies.
It should be clear that the quality of the image sharpness is different and depending on the manufacturer and producer can vary quite. Reference titles like "Uncharted 3" (PS3) and the new animation films made by "Disney Pixar" put the power of PS3 to the test and it keeps standing! Such a brilliant image quality and sharpness, I have really been able to experience only in the PS3. The prerequisite is that you also have an HD TV (best Full-HD), where you can tickle the absolute power of the PS3 out. Just awesome!
The PS3 games are also getting squeezed on a Blu-Ray. This will open many doors to the manufacturers to fully exploit the truly gigantic storage capacity of a Blu-Ray.
The K-model is also in contrast to the J-model be quiet and efficient. Whether this is really so, I can not say, but (watch movies or gamble) even after a few hours of use I absolutely can perceive nothing disturbing - even when times was no sound. Whether he is actually more energy efficient, will be shown in the electricity bills, but with "false statements that increase sales," Sony do not want to commit an offense certainly.
Conclusion: The change would have me, too quiet 50 - to taste and I would have no regrets. Everything I had been wrong with my PS3 40GB, are a clear advantage. A truly brilliant game console, you should really call multimedia station. Absolute buy recommendation!
