![]() Instead, there is a standby power button found at the front of the machine. You will also find that there are no on/off switches on the PS3 Slim models. However, some reviewers have said that the slim looks a lot like a “Chinese knockoff”, so it is all about what you want the appearance of your unit to be, or if you don’t care one way or another. ![]() Depending upon where your gaming console is to be located, this is an important feature to keep in mind. It also has a matte finish, so it is more fingerprint and scratch resistant. The PS3 Slim is of course slimmer than the standard PS3. On later units, however, Sony has already said that it will be pre-installed. This means that as soon as you get it out of the box, you will have to sit through the update. ![]() This is because the firmware update is released on the same day as the slim. The PS3 Slim also won’t have the 3.0 Firmware installed. Either way, you also have the ability to open up the unit and put a SATA hard disk in from your laptop and it won’t void the manufacturer warranty when you do it. There is also talk that Sony is going to be released 150 GB and 250 GB in the very near future. There’s 120 GB within the PS3 slim as opposed to the 80 GB that is in the pS3 Fat version. No matter what, there will always be an open source hack available should you want to change that. ![]() However, all new models that Sony puts on the market will eliminate this feature because they want to standardize the operating system. The standard PS3 in the 80 and 160 GB versions still support Linux. With the “Install Other OS” being removed, you are no longer able to get Linux support. The PS3 Slim does not have the “Install Other OS” feature that the PS3 has, but there are some modifications within the PS3 that you should know about as it enhances the performance quite dramatically.
