It seems hard to believe that it?s been 3 years since I purchased my first PS3. I still remember camping outside for 3 days at Best Buy in the cold (yeah I am a geek), having pizza delivered, playing Monopoly, and then being dead tired when I get home. Thankfully this time around, I didn?t have to do that.
With the announcement of the PS3 Slim, I told myself it was time for an upgrade and I headed out to track one down. Being familiar with the store budgets of the Best Buy?s in my area, I headed out to one of the one?s with the smallest budget (less traffic) to pick one up. I headed back to the media department and was greeted with a nice display of PS3 Slim?s. I grabbed one and immediately noticed the difference in weight. I asked about stand?s and they didn?t even have the SKU in their system yet. That gave me the needed motivation to reorganize my AV rack which was long overdue anyway.
So I setup a spot in the living room prior to installation to open and categorize everything.
Quite a small box in comparison to the original. I didn?t notice until the review I left my VMware VCP books in the background, sorry about that A standard set of accessories were included: A DualShock 3, Composite Cable, Power Cable, USB Charging Cable, Instruction Manuals, Quick Start Guide, and PS3 Blu-Ray welcome disc.
After hearing so many varying reports about the aesthetics of the new system, after removing the styrofoam covering, my fears were to put to rest. While the look of the console is different, it still has some style to it. Silver trim near the buttons, glossy finish on the left and right sides of the console, and I dig the return of the PS3 logo on top. I wasn?t sure how I would feel about the physical eject and power
