![]() ![]() ![]() The redesigned version of the PlayStation 3 (commonly referred to as the 'PS3 Slim' and officially branded 'PS3') features an upgradeable 120 GB, 160 GB, 250 GB or 320 GB hard drive and is 33% smaller, 36% lighter and consumes 34% (CECH-20xx) or 45% (CECH-21xx) less power than the previous model, or one third of the original PS3 model. This was due to the removal of 'Graphics Synthesizer' GPU, which stripped the units of all PlayStation 2 based hardware. The 40 GB, 80 GB (CECHL,CECHM,and CECHK) and 160 GB models have two USB ports instead of the four USB ports on other models and do not include multiple flash card readers, SACD support, or backward compatibility with PlayStation 2 games. ![]() Due to the elimination of the 'Emotion Engine' and its replacement with a software-emulated version, the level of PlayStation 2 compatibility was slightly reduced. However, it retains the 'Graphics Synthesizer' GPU resulting in a hybrid hardware and software emulation. The European 60GB model (CECHC), the South Korean and North American CECHE 80GB model excludes the PlayStation 2 'Emotion Engine' CPU chip with it being replaced by an emulated version via the Cell Broadband Engine. In terms of hardware, the 80 GB model CECHE released in South Korea is identical to the 60 GB model CECHC released in the PAL regions, except for the difference in hard drive size. In addition to all of the features of the 20 GB model, the 60 GB model has internal IEEE 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi, multiple flash card readers (SD/MultiMedia Card, CompactFlash Type I/Type II, Microdrive, Memory Stick/PRO/Duo) and a chrome colored trim. ![]()
