Sony PlayStation 3 Slim

This item is a Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) Slim model, which was released by Sony Computer Entertainment between 2009 and 2012. The console features a matte black charcoal finish on its plastic exterior, distinguishing it from the glossy 'piano black' finish of the original fat models. Physically, the Slim is significantly lighter and thinner than its predecessor. It features a curved, square-angled design with the 'PS3' logo embossed on the top surface. The front face includes a disc-loading slot and tactile power and eject buttons, unlike the touch-sensitive pads found on top-tier original models. The rear typically contains ports for HDMI, AV Multi Out, Digital Out (Optical), Ethernet, and a standard power inlet. Regarding condition, this specific unit appears to be in used, fair condition. There is a noticeable accumulation of dust and surface debris across the top and front panel, which is common for electronics of this era. The plastic shows some light surface scuffing and smudging, particularly near the control buttons. There do not appear to be any major structural cracks or deep gouges visible from this angle, though the environment suggests it is currently in an active, uncleaned state. The lack of visible original packaging and the presence of dust significantly impact its desirability for high-end collectors, though it remains a staple piece for retro gaming enthusiasts. This model is known for improved reliability, quieter operation, and lower power consumption compared to the launch versions of the console.
