The new look is as drastic a change from the past models as it can be without becoming a 360. This is where the 190W PSU really comes in handy. You can leave it on by accident and not notice because it’s so quiet. It’s silent compared to the jumbo jet Xbox 360 Slim and even a whisper side-by-side with the Wii. The Super Slim is the quietest home console I’ve ever used. The Super Slim does offer one major improvement: quiet fans. Depending on which model, the Slim already thinned out with either a 250W, 230W, or 200W PSU.

You won’t see a major difference in your electric bill if you own the PS3 Slim. The 190W PSU uses half the power of the original PS3, which besides being one of the largest game consoles in history also has a massive 380W PSU. The biggest difference between the Super Slim and previous PS3 models is the power supply (PSU, or power supply unit). And since any PS3 allows for simple hard drive upgrades, it’s much cheaper to buy a new drive than buying a whole new console if you want more space.
But the few additional features in the Super Slim don’t warrant a new purchase for those with older PS3s. Either you don’t actually own a PS3 and decided that this holiday is the special one, or you have one of the original “fat” models and want to upgrade. I’ve found only two good reasons to buy the Super Slim. 30+ sessions and 500+ attendees are set to arrive, so don’t want to miss this opportunity to expand your network.
