PS3 Slim

The PS3 Slim, released in 2009, is a revised version of the PlayStation 3 console, featuring a redesigned, slime-line chassis that is approximately 33% smaller and 36% lighter than the original model. It boasts a 45nm 3.2 GHz Cell Broadband Engine CPU, a NVIDIA RSX ‘Reality Synthesizer’ GPU, and 256MB of XDR RAM, providing improved performance and energy efficiency. The PS3 Slim supports Blu-ray disc playback, online gaming via PlayStation Network, and is backwards compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games via emulation on certain models, although the Slim model dropped native backwards compatibility with PS2 games. Its notable titles include The Last of Us, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, and Red Dead Redemption, solidifying its position as a major gaming console.
