Hey guys, this is Austin and today I’m here with an unboxing of the new Super
Slim PlayStation 3. With a major redesign and two new bundles to choose
from let’s take a look at what you get. As always, you’ll find a seal keeping us
out of the box but a small incision will make quick work of it. Pop open the
top and you’ll see...boxception. [inception sound bite] Inside is a nearly
identical box without the Uncharted branding. I imagine this is what you’ll be
able to pick up when you’re able to get the Super Slim PS3 without a bundle.
So let’s start again. Cut the tape on this box and pop it open to finally get at
the good stuff. Included is your standard PlayStation 3 controller, MiniUSB
cable to charge it, power cable for the PS3 which thankfully still isn’t an
external AC adapter and a standard video cable. No HDMI unfortunately.
Keep going and you’ll see an incredibly helpful diagram on how to transfer
data from your old PS3. Included with this bundle is a DLC code for Dust 514
and 30 day free membership to PlayStation Plus. You’ll also find the full
Bluray for Uncharted 3, quick start guide, safety guide and a pamphlet on
video game ratings. Exciting huh? The PlayStation itself comes in a giant egg
carton...I mean protective packaging. Pull off the sides and the foam
wrapping and finally we have success. Taking a look at the PS3 you’ll quickly
see it’s much smaller than even the slim PlayStation 3. The biggest difference
is up top where you’ll find the optical drive is moved. Press the eject button
and the spring loaded top panel slides back. It works fine but feels a bit cheap
and plasticky and the overlapping parts on the top don’t look amazing. The
rest of the system is similar to the PS3 Slim. Up front are a pair of USB ports
and around back is Ethernet, HDMI, Optical Audio, AV out and the power
connector. You’ll also find Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in. The console will stand
up on it’s own but it’s not too stable so it’s still a good idea to buy a stand
for it. One thing you’ll quickly notice is that
the new PS3 is a major fingerprint magnet, just like the original version. If
you’re looking for a new PS3 this is a solid choice with a bigger hard drive and
good bundled games like Assassin’s Creed 3 but they are a bit hard to come by
right now. I had luck finding one on Amazon so I’ll drop a link in the description
if you’re interested. If you enjoyed be sure to leave this video a thumbs
