Which PlayStation 3 console should I get?
After a few years, Sony discontinued the original Play Station3 version.
What are the benefits to the slim version?
The slim, new version of the PlayStation 3 console has a newer and faster microprocessor.
So when it comes to speed, the slim version certainly wins.
The slim version also produces much less noise than the original.
Finally, the slim has a better cooling system, which minimizes the chances of the console overheating.
Finally, the slim version uses approximately 30% less energy than the original, which means that the PlayStation 3 cost of gaming is reduced.
What are the benefits to the original PlayStation 3?
The original PlayStation 3 was backwards compatible with the PlayStation 2.
This means that aside from new PlayStation 3 games, gamers could also play their old PlayStation 2 games.
The original PlayStation 3 console also had Multi-Media Card Readers.
Lastly, the original PlayStation 3 had more USB ports than the current slim model.
It also had the opportunity to run Linux on the console itself, which allowed for some homebrew.
You can play the PlayStation 3 games on both versions and both have the same amazing Blu-Ray capability that has made the console such a massive success.
All the PlayStation bundles nowadays are delivered with the console PlayStation 3 slim.
This obviously means that if you want to find an original, thicker PS3, you are going to have to do some searching.
One of the best places to look is EBay but you can also try second hand game stores that might have a used version available.
