All these extra feature only add to the price; the average user doesn't know anything about them and Doesn't care. Heck, they buy Xbox360 without HDD because it is $200. Soon the 360 60gb will be 200 and Sony will have to keep up.

I am a Die Hard fan of Greatness That's why I bought this Shiny box on day1 in the San Carlos, Ca BestBuy. Right next to Sony HQ ;-). Even though I bought it for $600 I would love to see it expand widely by reaching the $200 price mark.

Other then that, I can't think of anything else that needs changing. People say the BD drive is slow, but it works fast enough for me, and like others pointed out above, it loads a huge game like Uncharted 2 seamlessly, without requiring an install either. I hope other game studios are paying attention to Naughty Dog's example here. All in all, besides my quibbles with the online service, I'm really happy with my purchase, and don't have to worry about being locked out of a specific game or DLC thanks to the bullshit exclusivity rivalry MS and Sony have going on. ]]>Oct 31st 2009 3:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/let remoteplay work with DVD/bluray movies

Change the software-- allowing you to play your mp3 music, and a game at the same time. Or play your mp3 music and a picture slide show at the same time. Change the music software-- where it is more like itunes-- you can search for new songs while a song is playing. Currently, you have to stop the song that is playing in order to start a new song. This is not good for a party or other entertainment.


Also, add a flip up 4 inch monitor to view music selections without have to use your tv. For people who play their mp3 threw their stereo, it a hassle to have to use the tv to see what is playing. Some people want to watch tv and listen to music at the same time.

Seriously, a smaller hard drive and make it $200. Not everyone needs a gigantic hard drive.

Bring back PS2 AND PS1 compatibility, please!]]>Nov 2nd 2009 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Nov 6th 2009 3:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 30th 2009 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/
In fact, its so obvious what the PS3 slim's flaws are. And that's a shame considering the launch 60GB offered so much more.


Whoever is over at SONY making these design decisions should be FIRED. I can live without the card reader but how much more difficult would it be to add software emulation for PS2 games?]]>Oct 31st 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/
One thing that would be nice is if they would put in HDMI cables in the box. They are cheap, and they should at least put it in the more expensive bundles and configurations.]]>Oct 31st 2009 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 12:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 12:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/

however, I agree, the PS3 is very fussy about codecs and file formats. for example, when I use the beebhack get_iplayer to download programs to keep, the PS3 won't play them in the format intended for iphones, nor will it play flvs directory. I have a program which creates a web page and embeds the FLV with a flash player for the PS3!]]>Oct 31st 2009 6:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Dec 12th 2009 6:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 30th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 12:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 1:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 3:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 6:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 11:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/
Backwards compatibility would definitely be nice - I need to play FFXII and Okami on something after all (looks like it'll be my pc then). I remember back when the PS2 was launching that BC was stressed to be very much part of Sony's strategy - may just be my memory going though.

The size and design of the thing quite disappointed me too - lets hope they have another go at some point and get somewhere closer to the diminutive elegance of the PStwo.]]>Nov 1st 2009 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 30th 2009 11:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 12:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Oct 31st 2009 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/30/how-would-you-change-sonys-playstation-3-slim/Bring peace to the Middle East.
