PS3 slim or PS3 super slim?

Hi everyone, I'm debating on which ps3 i should buy...the slim or super slim? what do you guys think?

Slim would be the better choice.
The super slim you have to make sure the disc is snapped on otherwise it will scratch or even break inside.
Second reason is the lens is exposed to dust more easily increasing the chance of it breaking down.
Upside of a super slim its quieter and the bundle deals are enticing but other than that worth choosing it over a regular slim

Hey Mr SuperFastZombie could you please get your friend to contact me because I have exactly the same problem. lol
I have a 12GB PS3 super slim console and I just bought GTA 5 on PS3 and it says that I do not have enough memory and it forced to quit. It says I need another 6022MB memory space in order to play GTA 5. So I looked on the internet to find out about how you can upgrade your 12GB console to a 500GB hard drive so I can play GTA 5 but its REALLY COMPLICATED and you need so many components to install it. You need like 3 things which include a 500GB hard drive, a mounting bracket, and a 16GB usb flash drive. And they might be quite expensive and even if you buy it you might not be able to install it yourself and all that money paid for it would be a waste. So yeah its tricky stuff.

The best thing would be to upgrade the HDD a future update from Rockstar could block out 12GB users entirely.
This is some good advice. As you can see the process is pretty simple.
In the mean time if you want it to install the game update you will have to delete any videos and Game Data to clear all the space on your console.

New PS3 Super Slim 320 GB model only uses 12GB "Flash Memory"

Bought a PS3 SuperSlim 320GB model( http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00422MS8E?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00 )to replace my now broken FAT 80GB PS3 (that broke recently), I looked and though might as well upgrade get a slim or super slim, more memory quiter ext, so the console arived today and I plugged it in and all was fine, I signed in went on the store and tried downloading one of my games I bought on the PSN store and the message pops up, not enough memory.I sit puzzled looking, there is nothing but the 4.75 system update, then I looked at my system info and it says "9101mb / 12 gb ", "System storage in use Flash Memory". I looked around and it says to make a PS2 / 1 memory card and it made it using none of the 12 GB up, I then formatted the full system, took me to the initial settup screen etc, and the flash memory still had the update on and still isnt using the stupid 320GB memory ( https://i.imgur.com/TBI0hq2.jpg ) , just spent nearly £200, buying a decent console and now its more useless then the 80GB one... Thanks for any help...

One of these should do you.

If you do decide on another hdd you will need the bracket included with the above hdd.
Make sure the height of the hdd is 9.5mm or less or it wont fit.
Your old 80gb hdd should fit but you maybe missing the bracket to hold it in the correct place.
Have a look here for more info.

Ps3 super slim exchange

I bought a Ps3 super slim for Christmas but it keeps freezing. Can I exchange of for the ps3 slim instead. It has not been 30 days yet please help

Hi MrxGameFreak,
There's no reason your brand new PS3 should be locking up on you. Please don't hesitate to bring it back. As long as you're still within the 30 day return period, you're welcome to swap it out with anything you'd like.
Cheers,

Charging iphone with ps3 super slim

Will it cause any problems with my iphone to charge it with the god of war super slim ps3

Use your computer to charge the phone if you're unsure...
But for clarification, the iPhone will charge on any USB standard power (5V 1A)
Apple won't support it if your phone erupts into a ball of fire unless you were using their charger.
Also, remember this thing called time zones, the volunteers and other assorted experts on here are either working, sleeping or, studying. Be paitient to get answers.

Can someone please help me?I have a PS3 12gb CECH-4203A model and I believe the laser is about to die on me.Can anyone please tell me what laser and deck model I need to find to repair it please? Many Thanks

You will need to cross reference your model number with the part number, or disassemble the bd-drive to find the part number.
In this case, eBay is your friend.
WARNING: the ps3 contains no user-serviceable parts.

Connecting PS3 slim and Timecapsule

We are having a heck of a time getting our new PS3 Slim to work with our TimeCapsule (wireless internet connection). The PS3 sees the Time Capsule, but the PS3 queries against the Time Capsule and then times out before it ever gets an IP address from the Time Capsule. We have WPA2 encryption.
We have other computers using our network, so we know connectivity is not the problem. We can't seem to get the PS3 to talk to Aiport.
Anyone had this problem and have a solution?
I am also getting a DNS error 80710102 on the Playstation
Any ideas to fix this?

First try removing all security and encryption for the sake of troubleshooting and see if you can get them to handshake. If so, try WEP or WPA.
If you must have WPA2, another solution is to get an Airport Express and plug it into a powerpoint near the PS3. Using the Airport Express utility, configure the Express to 'Join a wireless network' and tick the option to 'allow ethernet clients'. Then connect the Express to the PS3 using a network cable.

Connecting Time Capsule to PS3 Slim

We are having a heck of a time getting our new PS3 Slim to work with our TimeCapsule (wireless internet connection). The PS3 sees the Time Capsule, but the PS3 queries against the Time Capsule and then times out before it ever gets an IP address from the Time Capsule. We have WPA2 incryption. So we looked on Google, and someone said we needed to convert the password to a hexidecimal string (which we did using Airport Utility). When we got this string, it was all cap letters and numbers. When we entered it, the PS3 told us the format was wrong, which we assume is because it needs a lowercase letter, which the Aiport Utility did not give us.
We have other computers using our network, so we know connectivity is not the problem. We can't seem to get the PS3 to talk to Aiport.
Anyone had this problem and have a solution? Do we need to change to WEP? Do we need to change the Time Capsule password to a numeric string? We are at a loss.
Thanks.

We have our PS3 connected wirelessly to our Time Capsule > ADSL Modem > Internet, first I used the Easy option to configure the PS3 then once I had a connection went back and Customised the settings.
One thing to make sure of is the *WAP2-PSK (AES)* Key make sure you enter it correctly as mistaking a capitol I - i for a lowercase l -L will mess everything up.
*PS3 Network Settings*
*Internet Connection:* Enabled
*Connection Method:* Wireless
*Signal Strength:* 90%
SSID: *****
BSSID: *****
Channel: 1
Security: WPA2-PSK (AES)
*WPA Key:* *****
*Address Settings:* Automatic
*IP Address:* ***** (I set my Time Capsule to reserve this IP Address for my PS3)
Subnet: 255:255:255:0
*Default Router:* (This shows my Time Capsule IP Address)
*Primary DNS:* 212.159.6.10
*Secondary DNS:* 212.159.6.9
MAC: *****
MTU: Automatic
*Proxy Server:* Do Not Use
UPnP: Not Available (I set to enable when going through the setup process)
NAT: Type 2
Another thing to note after you have successfully got your connection running is the DNS addresses. I did have ours set to Automatic which was then using the Time Capsule, however going onto VidZone I could not get videos to play, Playstation Home was fine. So I went back into the settings and changed the +Primary and Secondary DNS+ addresses to the ones my ISP states on their website. After this all the videos in VidZone run like a dream.
Hope this helps some people.

Design flaw in PS3 Slim

My new PS3 slim 160gb won't read properly formatted (FAT32) USB mass storage devices that my old 80gb PS3 will read just fine, with one odd exception. My old PS3 has since died.
I had made a backup of my old PS3 using the backup utility with a new, 1TB Western Digital MyEssentials external hard drive. The old PS3 had no problem recognizing this drive. When I tried to do the restore on the new PS3, it wouldn't recognize the drive.
After trying three other FAT 32 USB devices on the Slim with no luck, I Googled the problem and found a blog in which others had the exact same issue. I did find a workaround solution offered by one poster for the WD external drive. Oddly enough, if you pull the USB cable from the drive itself, plug the cable into the Slim, then, very slowly, insert the cable back into the drive, but not all the way. When you feel the drive start spinning, slowly plug it in the rest of the way and you'll see the white LED on the drive light up, and bingo, the Slim has recognized the drive. Only problem is, you'll need to do this every time you start up the Slim, which is a real pain if you're trying to use the drive for permanent additional storage.
One poster said he was able to get a Seagate external drive to connect with no problems but I haven't verified this. Sony customer service denies that a design flaw exists because they don't guarantee that all FAT32 USB devices will connect, however, as I said before, I had no problem getting any of these devices connected to my old PS3. Therefore, no doubt about it, this is a design flaw. I'm going to talk tonight with an attorney friend of mine who's firm specializes in consumer product law to see if we have a legal remedy.
I'll keep you all posted.

PS3 slim on a 2001 Cinema Display?

Hi,
I was wondering..... can you connect a new PS3 to an 2001 cinema display via HDMI to VGI cable?
I don't want to go out and buy a random cable if the monitor can't handle it. If not, is there something else I can use?
Thanks,
Alex

Most likely it won't work. Not sure I understand your second question, "is there something else I can use?" You mean like a TV?

New PS3 Slim Question

I just purchased a New 160GB PS3 from Best buy today. I looked at the all the boxes and they was a simple piece of tape on them instead of the circular seal on most ps3's and the controller on the inside was not wrapped in anything. It doesn't seem to have any damage on the system or controller but do you think its possible they put refurbished systems in there and tried to sell them for new? Since the there was no usual tape seal and the controller was not wrapped I am thinking about taking it back and buying it elsewhere.
Any ideas?

Well, simplest way is to hook it up and see if it asks you to do setup.
If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.
I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year 5 years ago. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

My PS3 Slim is leaking oil

My PS3 just isn't capable of running games as they should. Examples: FIFA the ball is invisible or the match just never loads up, or inte the Last of Us where not even the start menu loads up. I noticed that when I took out my Bluray disks that they were covered in an oily liquid with no particular smell. I also saw some of it leaking out of the disk slot on the PS3 itself. I read online that someone had a similar problem but they never came to a solution. Eventually their PS3 broke down completely and I wouldn't want that happening to my PS3. I want to know if anyone has experienced the same issue and if so what the solution is? My warranty has ended so I don't think Sony would be kind enough to repair it or send me a new one. Any tips or responses would be immensly appreciated.

This is lubricant used on the BD drive. It doesn't normally get transferred to the disk, unless it's in the disk-insertion mechanism, or on the clamping plates.
In your case I'm thinking the insertion rollers.
Depending on your mechanical prowess, you could take the PS3 apart yourself and clean, or - more recommend - have a word with a repair shop, and have them give you a quote for looking at it.

Worst customer support ever

I was using sony ps3 super slip 500 gb,after 11 months of using this my system could not read the discs. As my product was under warrenty, I sent that to service centre. They told me that they will call me in 7-10 days. They did not, when I called them they told me that it will take 10-15 days. After 13 days when I called them agin, they've told me that it will take 15-20 days to get the replacement. I donno what the hell is going on? But one thing is sure that i'll neither buy another playstation nor suggest any one to buy. Though my brother and I decided to buy ps4, but now we are going for the xbox one all because of this customer support.

Just had a similar issue with my PS4 went back due to disc eject problems. Issue with courier pick up to begin with and then delivery was attempted without anything notification from Sony to say the PS4 had been fixed & was on its way back out to me. All i get from them when i call or email is sorry will be reported does not seem to be any real worry or case for concern that their customer is annoyed / upset.eBay maybe seeing my PS4 very soon & an xbox one will arrive soon Sony your Customer Support is 110% useless
