PlayStation 3 320GB Slim
So what's different about it? For starters it's much lighter, cooler and quieter than before - and it stores a whole lot more!
The new Playstation 3 Slim weighs in approximately two-thirds the size of the first PS3, but packs a hard drive of twice the original's size - now a comfortably large 320GB.
And thanks to its completely revamped internal architecture (with Cell Broadband Engine processor) the PS3 320GB Slim runs cooler and quieter than its PS3 predecessors. Just what you need to enhance those terrifying late night zombie romps!
PS3 Slim - it's so much more than 'just' a gaming machine...
Blu-Ray movies at full Hi-Definition:
The PS3 Slim sports a fully featured Blu-Ray disc player so that movies and games can be enjoyed at full Hi-Def resolution via the on-board HDMI port.
More interactivity:
The new PlayStation Operating System (V 3.0), included in the package, gives you even more interactive and user-friendly features, making the console much more than 'just' a gaming machine.
Content and services will be available, too, through the ever-growing PlayStation Network. With the PS3 Slims spacious 320GB, you'll have plenty of room to download your choice of game titles, trailers, demos, movies and TV shows from over 30,000 currently available.
And it looks good, too:
With its irresistibly sleek and curvy case, the PS3 Slim is a good-looking creature indeed. It is designed to be placed in a horizontal position, but a stand (available separately) enables the PS3 to be mounted vertically to suit you or your gaming space better.
Better for you and the environment:
The PS3 Slim is a powerful new design that uses less power in the process! In this mean machine, power consumption is reduced by a third, making it kinder on your electricity bill and on the environment. And you'll notice the added benefit of reduced fan noise.
The lightest and smallest PS3 ever - fits neatly onto any shelf or TV unit.

Introducing the PlayStation Move
The PlayStation 3 Motion Controller contains built-in motion sensors, including a colour-changing orb at its head, which interacts with the PlayStation Eye Camera to track movement. This tracking is precise, meaning the PlayStation 3 Motion Controller recreates every single swing of the arm and twist of the wrist exactly on screen.
Time to Move
The PlayStation Move gives PlayStation 3 gamers a new way to play and interact with their PlayStation 3. The Move is actually broken into three separate parts; the Motion Controller, Navigation Controller and the PlayStation Eye Camera.
The PlayStation Move: Motion Controller
The Playstation Move: Motion Controller contains advanced motion sensors such as a three-axis accelerometer, a three-axis gyroscope and a terrestrial magnetic field sensor to measure your movements and motions which are translated into on screen movements and commands. The colour changing sphere on the end of the controller is tracked by the PlayStation Eye and by using the power of the PlayStation 3 it detects the movements, angle and the absolute position in 3D space, to add to the accuracy.
Move to the beat
At this point there are 36 third party developers and publishers gearing up to support the PlayStation Move, releasing more than 20 games that are either dedicated to or support the PlayStation Move platform.
