what's up guys John Retton jerkin TechnoBuffalo here with a comparison video for you of the new ps3 slim vs. well I guess we can only call the old ps3 fat that's the 60 gigabyte version there on the right let's go ahead and check out the size of these two and see how they stack up from the side and the front of the device you can't see that there are pretty big differences especially in the girth of it when you look at the top that's really where it's most noticeable the substantial thickness here not so thick right there size is obviously the big difference between these two consoles the ps3 slim is quite obviously much slimmer but you probably knew that let's take a look at the design of the two and see really where some of the differences lie so we'll lay both of them flat again take the fatty version which is much heavier action tell you by the way then the slim guy and here is kind of where you can start to see some of the bigger differences on the slim you've actually got physical buttons for eject and power on on the older outgoing ps3 model these are actually touch sensitive buttons for eject and power on so that's sort of one change that they made also it's both of them are still front loading this one sword I always have an upward tilt this one looks a little more flush both have two USB ports that are found down below so - right there - right they're both on the right hand side and devices if we turn them around you can start to see a little more difference as well and you can also see the size between the table so on the fatty ps3 you take a look at the back and the ports that are available here you've got that Sony proprietary video cable that connects two component composite whatever you want you've got your optical out HDMI Ethernet power and the power port and the power on/off switch on the back of the ps3 slim you've got through that same array of ports but the only thing that's missing is the power switch so that's gone when you plug it in and you turn it on it's turned on there's no need for it on/off interestingly enough even though this doesn't have a power switch to be turned off it does use significantly less power than the fat version so from an aesthetic standpoint it's really gonna depend on what you prefer whether you like the piano black sort of glossy feel fingerprint magnet of the outgoing ps3 whether you prefer the slim sort of matte feel of the new slim version they both do exactly the same thing this one has a little bigger hard drive but they're both user replaceable so you can put them on an even keel definitely to come to a personal preference both are gonna run you $2.99 and I think a very fair price is $2.99 think that you're getting one of the best firmware upgradeable blu-ray players I also get the ability to play games if that's your thing so guys hope you enjoyed this is John Rhett enger' for TechnoBuffalo comm for exclusive content sure to check me out at Twitter twitter.com slash John the four Lakers I'll see you guys in the next video buh-bye
