Unfortunately, my great-PS3 from 2008 (40 GB) for almost exactly 5 years with average use their spirit abandoned (YLOD). I have therefore decided at short notice for the PS3 Super Slim. About the low storage capacity of 12 GB I was aware, I will possibly soon to Memory upgrade. I am concerned with the PS3 mainly to an important unit of my hi-fi system (Blu Ray / DVD player, mp3 players, the perfect "Earth screensaver", Sony Store, Internet use incl. Youtube tool etc.) And this is where the PS3 still makes an excellent impression. Operating noise will be again become a little quieter compared to 40 GB version (And the 40 GB was considerably quieter than the 60GB Erstvariante), the disc tray is already something simply built of "rickety" but can not speak, the rest of the equipment and Functionality corresponds exactly to the previous versions. The price is so seen very low, considering in what price segment the PS3 is on the start line (599, -, then 499, -, 399, -, much later 299, - and now 169, -). Although already is the PS4 in the wings, this interests me, however, for the time being less, because it to the mass appeal according to experience still takes some time, I'm going to winter business in 2014 to think about it again. At the moment, this unit for me the ultimate multimedia console and is more than worth the money.
