Customer Product Reviews:
  • My old 80GB PS3 finally kicked the bucket after 3.5 years. So I picked up the slim and so far, it has been great. You cannot go wrong with PlayStation. Free internet gaming on the PSN, Blu-Ray player built in, great catalog of games, and so much more. At $250, you are getting a great deal. Highly recommend! 
  • I've only had the thing a week or so, but so far it's everything I expected it to be. I do think it was a bit overpriced, especially since it only came with one controller and no games, but all in all I'm happy with the purchase. 
  • My son got this for his 13th Birthday about 5 days ago and he love's it! You can only play Playstation 1 & 3 games on this. It will NOT play Playstation 2 games unless you have it modded which then the fan has to be removed to do but we still have the Playstation 2 in his sister's room so it's not a problem for us. It's a good machine and he plays it every chance he gets when not in school or sleeping so it gets a LOT of use. His favorite game is the Black Ops game and he plays it online with the headset and really enjoys it. All in all I think it was his best birthday ever. He also got an XBox 360 from his dad so he is a major gamer. 
  • I love it! It's everythign I expected and more!! I highly recommend it!

Welcome to the next generation of gaming

Trophies

Show off the spoils of victory

Let 'em know who they're up against

With PlayStation®Trophies, you don't need to brag. Your trophy case does that for you.

Earn trophies

There are four types of trophies: bronze, silver, gold and platinum. You receive one every time you beat a level or beat up enough bad guys. As you play, you earn different trophies until you’ve collected all the trophies available for that game and are awarded the shiniest of all the trophies: the platinum. Your entire trophy collection is combined to determine your level.

Trophy collection

Your Trophy Collection (under Games on the XMB™) shows what trophies you've earned and which ones you still need to unlock, game by game. You can click through to get full details on each trophy's requirements.

PlayStation®Network profile

See your trophies and more on your PlayStation®Network profile. Your profile displays recent trophies, total trophies, as well as your overall level. It also shows you exactly how far you have to go before you reach the next level. Just think of it as motivational; if you ever manage to sneak away from your PlayStation®3 system for any length of time, you’ll always have that one last missing trophy to get you back to gaming where you belong.

XMB™ In-Game

Change things up on the fly

The glory of pausing

Say you're playing a game and you need to do something. Send a message, change the music, locate an M&M that has disappeared somewhere on your person, whatever. Don't quit - just press the PS button and use the XMB™ to pause the action.

Friends

Talking with friends or other players in the middle of a game is easy. Chat by text or use your headset to voice chat. You can also add new friends or check other player's profiles (including their Trophy collections) to know who you're up against while you’re playing.

Settings

Want to jump into an online game? You can change your Bluetooth settings in the middle of a game so you can use your headset to play online. And adjusting other settings without leaving game-play is just as easy.

Trophy collection

Check out your Trophy Collection to see what you've earned to date, or take a look at the challenges you might want to tackle next. This can come in handy during long quests or battles. Go back and look at those shiny pixels of platinum you’re fighting for. Getting more trophies than your friends is the best way to prove your gaming domination.

Please note:

• Only some XMB™ features can be used during game-play.
• If you press the PS button for more than two seconds, it’ll show you the screen showing options to quit the game, turn off the system and other settings.
• The XMB™ screen can’t be displayed when you’re playing PlayStation®2 or PlayStation® software. The XMB™ screen also can’t be displayed when you’re playing PlayStation®3 format software titles that don’t support this feature.
