Abstract: With built-in Blu-ray, Wi-Fi and a 120GB hard drive, the £249 Sony PS3 Slim seems set to become one of the best console deals on the market. It is amazing what a long-awaited price cut and reconfigured hardware setup can do for a system, but with the PS3 ...

That said, the Sony PS3 Slim is still an impressive achievement, and it easily ranks among the best gaming consoles ever. Slimmer, neater and packed with features, it's definitely a must have. Best offers for the Sony Playstation 3 SlimMarks and Spence...
