Background and Identification
The Sony Playstation 3 Super Slim is a home video game console that was released in September 2012. It was the third revision of the PlayStation 3 console family. It had features such as remote connectivity, also introduced Sony's social gaming service.
It is black in color and is visually characterized by a top-loading disk tray. It weighs about half of what the original Playstation 3 weighs. In addition to being a slimmer and smaller console, the Super Slim was sold at a lower price than the original PS3. This model also addresses the problem of a noisy cooling fan; however, the sound of disks booting up can be heard because its optical drive is much closer to the surface than previous models.
