What is the difference between PS3 siln to PS3?

The PS3 slim is 33% smaller, 33% quieter and uses 33% less power than the original fat PS3. Also the PS3 slim has significantly more memory, 120GB, 250GB etc... The PS3 slim only has 2 USB ports. If you are considering on buying a PS3, I would say go for the 120GB!


Does Ps2 Games Work On The PS3?

The first PS3 had 4 USB ports and they were backward compatible all the Fat PS3 with 2 USB ports lack both the hardware and the software to play PS2 games. The PS3 slim also does not have this feature, but it was lost more than a year before the PS3 slim was released back in 2008 and even in November 2007 for the 40 GB model YES as long as the ps3 is not the ps3 SLIM because the people who buit the ps3 SLIM did not do it but on the NOT SLIM ps3 you can feel free to do so. Totally untrue


Which is better ps3 fat or slim?

PS3 fat way better than the slim why, PS3 fat have a 4 USB and you can play PS2 & PS1 games on it . The slim has only two usb and u cannot play PS2 games. The first sentence is only about the first PS3 model and there are other fat models that overheat, have smaller harddrives, lack the HDMI sync, and do not play PS2 Games. They are also the most common PS3 Fat Models. The early models that did play the PS2 games with the 4 USB ports are no longer new and have an unknown maintenance and use history. Many have been repaired with temporary fixes like resoldiering the motherboard and so can not be considered better because of the unknown history and reliability. Other original features like separate operating systems have already been removed with software updates and the models that have not been given the software updates lack many other new PS3 software capabilities like the PS3 Move 3D and use of Playstation Plus. The best PS3 out is the 320 GB with a Move Bundle still being sold by Sonystyle.com for $399.99

Does a 128 gb memory card work for a ps2 slim?

How can you tell if a PlayStation 3 is the Slim version?

In the box itself, the ps3 slim is smaller and has a white box. The ps3 'fat' normally has a black box and is a lot more heavy, as well as bigger. Out of the box, the ps3 slim has hard buttons that actually move when you press them. The 'fat' ps3 is just a touch sensor for the eject and power buttons. The ps3 slim has a dull look, and the ps3 'fat' has a glossy look.
