PS3 Slim

$40 one time shot but Netflix is coming to PS3 shortly. So if you want it for Netflix I would not bother but the CNN, Hulu, ESPN, and CBS are nice to have as well.



I've got the Netflix app on my PS3. I've had it a couple of months now.

Also have Playon for the PS3 as well. Love it, except the picture quality isn't THAT great.

I picked this up a couple weeks ago when I got my new 1080p TV, I wanted a Blu Ray player and the the guy talked me into the PS3, really didn't take much arm twisting. =)

I am very impressed with it and I have only played one game on it, LittleBigPlanet. the Playstation store is nice for getting the latest HD movies for rent and I purchased PlayOn a service that allows me to watch Netflix, Hulu, ESPN, CNN, CBS, Amazon On Demand, and some other stuff through the PS3 to the TV.

My only let downs are no front display (think DVD player "clock") and it will not resume movies when you just stop the movie you have to bookmark your spot.

I also bought the DVD remote for it which works really well.

Overall very good buy for $299.

I swear my PS3 always resumes without bookmarking. It's not a PS3 Slim but they should have the same OS.

I "broke down" and got the PS3 and Move bundle as my gift to myself. "Yay me" :). Now I have to try and be good and not play it till Christmas. I'm really not thinking I will make it all the way there.

I don't have a HD TV tho, so, I don't know what to expect from the video. I assume it will still work, I just won't get the full awesomeness of it. True?

Bro you got to splash on a HDTV. What kind of TV connection cables does the Slim come with? Probably an HDMI cable so the question is does your TV have HDMI connectivity and can you connect your PS3 to it without HDMI input? Blu-ray videos are worthless unless you have an HDTV.

Encourage JoeRedskins to get you an HDTV for x-mass, that's what brothers do for each other.

I am assuming you bought a slim which requires you to use a HDMI cable to hook it up to your TV. Most non-HD/SD TV's if not all don't have HDMI hook up. You might be SOL.

it said it has av out. Well guess that gives me a reason to open the box!! :)

edit: other web pages say that it comes with a HDMI to Composite connector - which is what I thought the box said.

The AV out is for digital audio if say you want to run the picture to your TV but the audio to your audio receiver. I am 99.9% sure you can only get video to your TV from the PS3 Slim through HDMI.

Plus talk about feeding jet fuel to a Pinto.


You can still keep it but you would need to use something like this to make it work.

I literally shutter thinking about using something like that!

Yeah, I know, but I am fine with the Pinto for now, but I wanted some of the jetfuel fun.

You need to post some feedback on how the PS3 move is.
