Now only the Slim versions are unfortunately get to today. "Unfortunately," I write, because it has become an absolute cheap product in my opinion.
-The Formerly so noble-looking piano finish has given a matt black without ornaments.
-instead Of touch sensitive keypads, this model has now two plastic buttons.
-There Is no power switch, so the PS3 - unless you pull the plug - in standby mode remains. Not very energy efficient.
-Dafür You to the LEDs for the wireless connection and the disc indicator (shows if a disc is inserted) saved.
-The Disc's are not as well drawn as yet at the Fat version. You always slightly to the right, press (so at least my mind), so that the Blu-Ray's or CD's are drawn.
-The Blu-Ray drive has become very noisy. No wonder: because the cheap plastic around the components, can hardly dampen the working noise.
After 4 days, I had a drive damage. When moving a game there was a loud crack and the panel recognized the game stops (And I have this thing already treated with kid gloves). I have the PS3 of course exchanged immediately. Let's see how long it lasts now.
Conclusion:
Of course, the PS3 can still what they already could also 4 years ago. Playing makes naturally still fun. Nevertheless, from the time classy looking "Fat-variant" an absolute cheap Console (Slim) become. This is also not justified by the price decline. Those who know only the Slim version, my review can not understand you. Nevertheless: 3 stars, more is the part no longer worth it.
