Most old PS3 will play PS1 & PS2 games with no problems. But because internally they did away with the PS2 Emotion Chip, the Slim PS3 has issues with PS1 & PS2 games and some will not play them at all. The slim is also smaller and quieter. The Slim does not have a power switch in the back so even when off it is always technically on unless you unplug it. The front power button and eject button of the old PS3 are touch sensitive, and on the Slim they are physical mechanical buttons. The slim does not have card readers like the old one. Both the old and slim have a variety of harddrive size options, but the average size on the old PS3 is 60GB and the average size on the slim is 120GB. The cell processor is made with a smaller nanometer assembly process so that it generates a little less heat.
They both play all PS3 games, DVD, & Blue-Ray. They both have wireless type-g antennas. They run the same XMB operating system. They both work with the Netflix disc. They both have full access to the PlayStation Network, PlayStation Store, and PlayStation Home.
In short they saved money in the assembly process by stripping away the hardware that most consumers were not using and improving the things that they were and then passing those saving on to you.
Some of the changes were first made to the last PS3 fat models made before the PS3 Slim was released. The PS3 slim will also start selling 160 GB model and 320 GB models besides the 250 GB models. The 120 GB sells for the same price as the 160 GB model of $299.99 USA
There really is no difference. The ps3 slim is just more smaller
the only diff is that the ps3 slim can rest on its side and is smaller
ps3 slim is not as big as the original. however you cannot play ps2 games on it.
The difference is: The PS3 slim is 33% smaller, 33% quieter and uses 33% less power than the original Fat PS3. Also the PS3 slim has more memory, 120GB, 250GB etc.. The slim PS3 has only 2 usb ports.Well for one the PS3 slim in 33% smaller than a normal PS3. Another thing is that the chances of getting Yellow Light of Death are very slim as the PS3 slim won't over heat as there is so much air vents around it. You can get more memory on a PS3 slim.
Yes, there are a few minor differences between the two. The original PS3 takes up a lot more energy to run than the slim PS3 does. Also the original PS3 has a much larger and noisier fan than the slim PS3. However, there is no difference in the preformance of either version.
I know the PS3 slim's eject and power are buttons instead of touch and it has more GBs. Also you can't spell difference.
The name speaks for itself, the only difference is the size.
