Sony PlayStation 3 Super Slim

Inside of the box you get a Super Slim model with a meaty 500GB hard disk, a wireless DualShock 3 controller, an AC power cord and USB cable (for charging the controller). For reasons known only to Sony, the company also throws in a composite AV adapter rather than an HDMI cable. Each bundle is basically the same save for the included game. In the US, you can buy it with Destiny. 

There's also a 12GB PS3 that's available solo or (in the US) comes bundled with Disney Infinity. Marvel Super Heroes for around cheapes price. But we strongly recommend that you avoid the 12GB model and stick with the 500GB one. Once you download a game or a few apps, you'll want the extra space almost immediately.To be clear: Sony has not abandoned the PS3 now that the PS4 has been released. Far from it. In fact, Sony continues to introduce new features and services to the PlayStation ecosystem. First it was the gaming subscription service known as PlayStation Plus, which offers up discounts and free games each month, and the 3D virtual social platform known as PlayStation Home.You will need a stable Internet connection to use the service. I was hardwired to my 15Mbps down and 5Mbps connection, which performed reasonably well with very little lagThere is also the promise of Sony's new cloud-based TV service, which could be the first real option for cable cord-cutters. The company has already inked a deal with Viacom to carry 22 live TV channels, including Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, BET, CMT, Spike, TV Land and VH1. Sony is expected to make the cloud-based TV service available on the PlayStation TV microconsole, PS3, PS4, and select Sony Bravia TVs by the end of 2014. PlayStation Now is already in beta on the PS3 and PS4, and will be added to those other devices and the Vita by the end of 2014.
