Yesterday, hopefully you would have seen the video unboxing of the Sony PlayStation 3 Slim (320GB model). Today, I recorded the preview video to show you around the console (in particular the stuff on the front, back and also the little flap to unscrew the hard drive should you wish to remove and replace it). I also touched upon a couple of the major pieces of functionality ahead of the formal review. As with the previous video it is available in high definition for those of you who would like to watch in the best possible resolution.
Like the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 is not just a games console but also quote a capable media player (both disc-based or network-based media). It also contains a web browser and a social gaming hub courtesy of PlayStation Network. Today, I hooked it up and gave Gran Turismo 5 a bit of a go in 3D and, so far, my impressions are positive.
