Demon_skeith Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 After the first launch of every mainline Playstation console launch, it was followed by a slimmer version. Did anyone here ever buy any of the slim consoles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DylanC Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I picked up the slim version of the PS3 when my launch edition began to sound like an aeroplane taking off. It was the first proper slim model for the PS3 and it's a nice piece of kit. They are usually well made, though it depends as Sony released a really cheap 12GB version of the PS3 late in its life cycle which looked cheap and plastic. Most of the time, the first slim model they release is an improvement in some shape or form (smaller, draws less power, for example). That said, it's also a way for the company in question to cut the manufacturing costs in the back-end and save some money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 I know my brothers and other relatives upgraded themselves to a slim PS1. My fat PS2 never failed me and by the time I was ready for the PS3, the slim version was all there was. For PS4, I went with the Pro version which I guess is a slim?

I've still got my launch fat PS4, but I'm so tempted to pick a Pro up. Maybe next pay day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 I also like to say the slim PS2 was junk, a lot of people I know said it never lasted as long as the fat PS2 did. Sony went cheap with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o-o Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Wouldn't recommend it if you already have the previous style. But it looks better and its weigh if lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, Other than the size difference they are the same thing. When I was really into console gaming, I always got the PlayStation at launch.
