Product Information

This wireless controller adds convenience and flexibility so you can play from your couch or favorite chair without getting tangled up. With built-in Wi-Fi, the Slim black PS3 unit accommodates both video game aficionados and light users. You can stream TV shows and movies instantly from Netflix. With an HDMI input port, the PS3 supports HDMI resolution that lets you enjoy 1080 pixels on your TV, allowing you to enjoy all of the amazing graphics in their highest quality. This Sony PlayStation 3 has a built-in Blu-ray disc player with 3-D capabilities to deliver stunning, lifelike picture quality. Additionally, it supports Bluetooth to let you access your files from your laptop or other devices. For those familiar with the older PlayStation models, this version of the Sony PlayStation 3 Slim is backward compatible with games from the PS1. It is compatible with the memory cards for the PS1 and is able to format space for them. With the smoothing function on the home screen, the older graphics will work great with the PS3 model. Users with technical skills who want to "jailbreak" their PS3 can do so if the firmware on the unit is 3.55 or below. Simply use a USB drive and downgrade your Sony PlayStation 3 in order to save and back up your games. The Sony PlayStation 3 Slim gaming system is a compact device with dimensions of 16 inches by 14.6 inches by 5.2 inches. This charcoal-colored model only weighs 8 pounds, so it is very mobile. Its small stature makes storing the unit effortless. The Sony PS3 Slim has a refresh rate of 60 Hz, so it is compatible with virtually all televisions. It also uses 120 V of power, so you can plug it in anywhere that uses the American household electricity standards.

  • Great Product

    The PS3 had 3 issues, first issue was expected which it needed new thermal paste, I replaced the thermal paste. Second issues was the hdmi that came with the system replaced it with one I already had it works fine since then. Third issues was the ps3 power button/eject button didn't light up/didn't work but fixed it by using a new ribbon cable from the motherboard to the power/eject bar on the PS3, all issues was to be expected cause of the age of the system... since then the product worked as intended no more issues at all.. A++ product!

  • Reliable, CFW-compatible, and easy to manage

    The CECH-25xx is the last of the models of the PS3 to be able to install custom firmware (CFW). It's a very reliable system (it takes long time before a PS3 Slim undergoes a Yellow Light of Death), which is the main reason I purchased it, but it has other perks, too! Not only does the power supply take less voltage, but it's also lighter, which makes it easier to lug around if you find yourself needing to switch it out for something else every now and again. They're also really cheap! I got mine for <$100, including tax and shipping! Overall, to anybody aiming to purchase a PS3 so long after its official discontinuation, a CECH-25xx is (if you're not looking for PS2 backwards compatibility) THE model to get. P.S. Watch out! Not all CECH-25xx systems can run CFW! If the date code is 0, 9, or 1A, then they can. Otherwise, stay away!

    Very clean and nice console, almost can be passed off as brand new entirely! It came here fast too. However, the controller might be a phony, although I won't blame the seller for this because it is very close to looking genuine with a few minor differences that they weren't probably looking for. Also the fact that it lacks motion control. I'd say get a OEM PS3 controller along with this. Overall, I'd say it was worth it for what you're getting.

    The Playstation 3 works perfectly. I had no problem setting it up and getting it started. I really appreciated the the included HDMI cable as well. The controller seemed basically brand new as well. I'm so glad that I finally can play all my PS3 games again after my previous one's disc drive stopped working.

  • Console working well.

    Tested it a few days, didnt freeze or overheat, it even survived a blackout. Seems to be in good shape so I have to give a 5 star review. I decided to go back to this version after a super slim version I had fried up it's video card. This slim version never gave me any problems and this time is working well too. From my personal lived experiences, best version released.

  • I was skeptical about this PS3 but it works!

    This Ps3 looked exactly like the the images online, the graphics work just fine. My only concern is that I’m receiving the “Black screen of death” every now and then. I’m guessing it’s just HDMI cord but I’ll replace it. Anyway, great product!! 😄👍
