10 Generation Defining Elements of the PlayStation 3

Slim

August 2009 brought the introduction of a sexy new matte machine – the PS3 Slim. As a result, all the previous consoles have been dubbed PS3 Fat. Good thing they aren’t self conscious. While it wasn’t a new concept (the PS2 was also relaunched with a much smaller Slim version), the PS3 Slim proved to be very popular due to its relatively low $299 price point and 120GB hard drive, not to mention the small form and matte finish, much less prone to getting smudgy fingerprints everywhere.
