New slimmer PS3

Today we see the new Slimmer PS3 that has been announced to be coming out in the next two weeks which you can get in either Black or white.
No details have been given on the price but from other sources we learn that this PS3 loses 20% of the weight from the former Slim version and holds all the same ports as before.

This PS3 though has its Disk drive above and does not include a motor powered tray opener and instead opens on the top by sliding the right panel to show the disk tray.

Because the Disk tray is now closer the shell it now creates a bit more noise like the Xbox 360 but should harm your gaming experience.

Another down side to this design is that it cannot play original PS2 games which may PS fans were hoping for, the plastic top also looks unsuitable since such a basic tray opener can break easily.

As well as this the design has lost most of its sleek/smooth look that is seen in previous PS3's because of the new tray and basically just looks like the original PS2 slim and PS3 combined.

as well as this the new tray opener is not as smooth as the originals because its basically downgraded Tech but would work if you place it on its side.

Finally this version only has a basic composite cable unlike the Xbox and Wii which allow you to have HD play without a HDMI.

Overall this is a good buy since its cheaper but it just depends if you want to pay less by losing out on the normal versions features.
