As DVD playback made the PlayStation 2 more than just a game machine, hefty multi-media features make the PlayStation 3 Slim an even more versatile home entertainment machine. 32% smaller, 36% lighter and consuming 34% less power than the originals, this latest edition of the PlayStation 3 has been completely redesigned for a much more streamlined feel. Features such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video will likely make it the central component of your media set-up. Still, it is first and foremost a powerful gaming console.
Under the Hood The PS3 features IBM's "Cell" processor and a co-developed Nvidia graphics processor that makes the system able to perform two trillion calculations per second. That makes the PlayStation 3 40 times faster than the PS2. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, it also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TV and projectors. The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience. This console also provides for a sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1. A pre-installed 320 GB hard disc drive allows you ample room to save games as well as download content from the internet.
PlayStation Slim: Leaner and Meaner
Blu-Ray Is the New Way Sony's PlayStation 3 games are encoded onto the Blu-Ray disc media format, which can hold six times as much data as traditional DVDs. This increase in capacity, combined with the awesome power of its processor and graphics card, promises mind-blowing games once developers have learned how to fully harness the new console's power. The PS3 will also support CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats.
In addition, PlayStation 3 includes BD Live support. With this you can now play discs that support Blu-ray Disc Profile 2.0 (BD-LIVE) and you can also connect to the Internet while playing discs that support this format so that you can obtain additional features. Features that are available vary depending on the software in use. Online
Play all your favourite games online and much more over the PlayStation Network. With the 320GB storage capacity of the PlayStation 3 Slim, you can also store more downloadable games, music, photos, videos and much more. PlayStation network members can also download free applications such as PlayStation Home, a ground-breaking 3D social gaming community available only on PS3 that allows users to interact, communicate and share gaming experiences, as well as Life with PlayStation, which offers users various news and information on your TV by connecting the PlayStation 3 to the network.

This review is from: Sony PlayStation 3 Console (320GB Model) with Karate Kid (Blu-ray Movie) Bundle (Console)
This is mainly to counteract the pointless review from the other so called reviewer. £199 for a 320GB PS3 is great value offering plenty of space for storage of videos, photo's and music. The extra space will come in handy when downloading from the Playstation network. Great piece of kit for a very good price, ideal time to invest in a games machine and at a great price with loads of games being released plus a great back catalogue. You can't really go wrong. Oh it plays blu-ray films as well which if your a HD freak you will love.
I have seen the film and to be fair it's not a bad remake, seeing as it's virtually free it's an added bonus.

This is almost like amazon have made a pricing mistake, and I would seriously recommend getting this before they're all gone or the price reverts. The free games aren't the greatest games on offer for the PS3, but to get a 320gB PS3, a Dualshock controller, a blu-ray movie, a PlayStation Eye, a PlayStation Move controller and a game for just 200 quid is quite astonishing!
