The ps3 came with a slide that did not open fully (blocked 30% through opening), this meant I had to push it forward every time I had to put a disk, asked the seller for a return label, never got an answer till this day! (item ordered early august). The box also had a really bad smell that I didn't even mention because of how awkward it was for me to tell them they sent me a box that was rotting. 100% would not recommend to anyone. Really wish I had take a picture of the item before sending it back. Awful.

First off, if you found this review helpful in your decision-making, please click on the helpful button so this review may help others in their decision-making process.WARNING!!! Description is very misleading!!! The system has an EMBEDDED 12GB FLASH drive!!! It DOES NOT have a hard drive installed, only the 500GB models have the REMOVEABLE hard drive. This required me to expedite another order from ebay for the mounting brackets. which thankfully came in before the ps3 did. BE FOREWARNED!!!That aside, it does what I want it to, only AFTER upgrading the hard drive. I think Sony may have removed and/or added some of the ports on the rear side of the system, but I am not exactly sure which ports, so do your research on which model will suit your needs the most. It has a slide open feature on the top, which is where the discs get loaded into the system. Personally, I prefer this "top-load" method more than the previous "front-insert" method because I feel that less could go wrong internally (discs get stuck in the system, discs dont get "grabbed in" anymore, etc) and if the top slider breaks, i would just tape it shut to read the discs, which is an easier fix then getting a new ps3 disc reader or ps3 altogether.I had my hard drive from my last ps3, which was still good, so I opted for this model, because I liked the fact that there was an embedded flash drive installed and this was the only model I could afford at the time. This flash drive DOES NOT get used when you install a removable hard drive, so I have something to fall back on in case my hard drive fails, however, the wiser purchase would be to spend the little extra money to have the model with the hard drive installed already, because it would save you additional purchases, and with the constant required sony system updates, 12 GB will NOT even be enough to install gran turismo 5 from a physical copy (that is just 1 game!!!) However, since sony updated their system software, all playstation systems can now read external hard drives like the xbox does (which allows you to skip the hard drive swapping process altogether), but this also will require additional purchases, so the choice would be up to the buyer...

I bought the 12gig ps3 super slim to replace my tanked ps2 last May used but like new condishion I read some pelesent and non pelesent reviews about it I had to get a 50$ controller and 250 gig harddrive 30$ and mounting plate 5-15$ its been amazeing so far runs games amazeingly was fairly quiet when I bought I've put probley 400 -300 hours on it mabey more and only since i put 60 - 70 hours on it playing farcry3 and it fell off a table it was sitting on did it the fan get really loud but still plays great about to get the slim modelthen maybe the day would defnity but another super slim model agine amaseing buy only cons for me no after market cooling fans and av cabel get really hot pros the fan runs the entire length of the backside of the super slim and the fan is the same fan size that is in the slim the units other hardware is a bit smaller thou so fairly cool also fast to get disk out when the unit is off a contrast to other models

This unit is much smaller than my original PS3, I paired it with a and an This Slim PS3 runs cooler than the original unit, takes up less space, and with an large SSD installed in the hard drive slot, seems like a rocket compared to my original "fat" PS3.The Crucial SSD was very easy to install once I had the Sabrent 2.5" Mounting kit, which I ordered along with the PS3, and installed in minutes.I run , , and , which required the aftermarket SSD, but once all of this was setup it runs incredibly well, takes up less space, is cooler, and I estimate it will run longer than the original PS3, this represents an optimal value and paired up with the SSD and mounting kit runs better than I could have expected.

The delivery was on time. I assume the product would have worked fine but I did not open it and ultimately returned it. The reason being the GB size. Similar reviews had a cavalier attitude about complaints of size but it is in fact a big deal - particularly for those that want to play games (e.g. Grand Theft Auto 5, one game, takes up the entire memory of the system. In some cases I read that it actually won't fit on the system).I'm sure it would make for a good Blu-Ray player but if bought, will need additional memory put into it. I ended up purchasing a 500 GB version for about $70 more and would advise others do the same.

12GB of Flash-based hard drive will store all of your safe files if you opt for Disc-based games. I like the fact that anyone can easily slide in another 2.5 inch internal hard drive into this PS3 (in case you're looking for instructions, there are plenty on YouTube).It comes with a DualShock 3 controller, an analog AV output cable (the same one in PS 2), AC power cable, and a USB to micro USB Controller charging cable. This model doesn't come with a stand in the box though, which you can purchase on amazon for around $10.Again, amazon.ca offered the best pricing and the shortest delivery time. I would recommend this product to anyone.

I bought this to replace my launch day Fat PS3 that had died... :( It doesn't have the same look, feel and weight to it that my old PS3 did, but even the PS3 Slims don't feel as good.The lack of a HDD that some reviewers complain about was not an issue. I bought a drive sled online for less than $15, put the drive from the old PS3 in and I was back in business.Very happy to have a working PS3 again and since the PS4 won't be backwards compatible, it's even more important for me to have a working PS3.
