With a smaller design, more energy-efficient function, lesser price tag and built-in Blu-ray and multimedia capabilities, the Sony Playstation 3 Slim offers a persuasive package at a reasonable price. As much as 36 percent lighter than its counterpart, the 120GB PS3 Slim takes up approximately 33 percent less space. Like its predecessor, the
Slim also supports playback of MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4/h.264 video files from USB or disc-based media. Moreover, like the Xbox 360, the PS3 can act as a digital media hub, with the ability to stream content from PCs or network attached hard drives.
