This makes the unit's smaller size and quieter fan possible. Along with the traditional AV and composite connections, the 250GB system also boasts an HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port, which delivers uncompressed, unconverted digital picture and sound to compatible high-definition TVs and projectors. (The system is capable of 128-bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution for a full HD experience) This console also provides for an extreme sound experience by supporting Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS 5.1, as well as Linear PCM 7.1.

Unlike The some other models of The PlayStation 3, The 250GB system does not offer backwards compatibility. The same functionality now in a smaller, more quiet and energy efficient package

 Father and son playing LBP together. Male bonding at it's finest June 10, 2010
Witzkeyman (New York, NY)
34 out of 42 found this review helpful
My male bonding experience with my 8 year old nephew:
I remember renting LBP with my nephew a couple of years ago, and our bond grew tremendously after playing multiple 8 hour sessions of LBP. Before that, he wanted to play Pokemon with me, and couldn't shut up about Pokemon. He didn't want to play the PS3 in the living room, which my brother bought primarily for the purpose of watching Blu-Rays which were few and far between at that time. Now every time I visit my brother, my nephew wants to play LBP. LBP is good clean fun for younger children, and fun for adults as well.
PlayStation3, 2008 to present day:
Since 2008, PS3 has improved so much. The console doesn't get as warm. The console takes up less space, and this console in particular can store 250 GB's. Also, since those days Playstation Home has expanded to where it doesn't freeze and is fun. One can buy properties inside the mall, and then furnish those properties to their liking (Santorini, Greece is my favorite). I have to admit I thought it was dumb at first, but quickly I became hooked and purchased all the properties with the furniture packages, walking around with clothes I bought for my avatar at the Diesel store. Oh, and don't forget the free mini-games in Home (try bowling) or just have a conversation with other players while watching the sunset. Most importantly, Home is absolutely FREE!
To summarize the Father's Day Bundle:
Playstation 3 really has it all! The PS3 Slim is reliable and has proven itself to be a reliable console ahead of the pack. The fact that presently (6/9/10) all PS3 120 GB's and 250GB's are out of stock at Amazon, you can't go wrong with paying $350 for a system that costs the same price with a 5 dollar HDMI cable (I usually buy Amazon Basics) and a game that a father can enjoy with his son. Great deal Sony! Happy Father's Day fathers.
Great Deal! June 11, 2010

O.K. so technically I don't own this, but I wish i did. let me explain...
I JUST bought the a 120 gig PS3 Slim to repalce my Phat. They jsut came out with a new model which uses less energy and makes less heat (EDIT: I have learned this may be the older PS3 slim model, still a good model though compared to the phat). At that time they didn't have 250 gigs anywhere, I barely found a 120 gig actually. I would gladly have spent 400 for the 250 tho.
I actually spent 300 for the 120... THIS package is 350 for a 250 gig model (more the TWICE the space on the HD) AND you get the GOTY edition of LBP (which is $ 30 on its own) AND an HDMI cable which DOES NOT usually come with the PS3 which will cost you [edit: some amount of money which is not free] bucks on a decent one.
All in all this is a GREAT package and I don't need to own one to see that. I do own a PS3 slim and I can attest to it running alot beter than the original phat which I had, it runs MUCH quieter. LBP is also my favorite game this generation.
If you are thinking about getting a PS3 GET THIS PACKAGE! I looked into what a previous poster said abouty beter deals... there are none. I looked at Walmart and it will cost you something like 450 to get a comparable package, NOT a beter deal. This is ridiculous, I'm hoenstly kind of annoyed I just got a new PS3. Just my luck.
It was what I was looking for.. June 14, 2010

I'm happy with this bundle. I ordered it when I saw it, and it came quicker than expected. I told my husband his birthday present might be a day or two late and it arrived the day before his birthday.
Setting up the system was easy and quick for him, and he was happy that the hdmi cable was included. He doesn't always trust me to order games or game systems for him.
The game included wasn't to his tastes, but honestly? I don't recall a single time we ever got a bundle that included a game he was interested in. What made this bundle a winner for me was that it IS a game my teenage daughter was interested in. She's been having a blast with it. I told him what I was getting him for his birthday so if he wanted any particular game he could get it for himself. I also did order Final Fantasy XIII when it came up as a Gold Box deal recently.
He put on a movie to see the quality of movie playback on the machine and we were all very happy with that.
As a non-gamer looking for a good present for a husband who does like console games and for something my teens would like, this is a good deal. Everyone is very happy with it for movie playback, my daughter loves Little Big Planet and visually as a crafter, I love the look of Little Big Planet. Lots of great inspiration in the colors and shapes in the game.
As far as stars go, I asked my husband and daughter. He rated the bundle as very good for the system and hdmi cable. When I asked my daughter about the game, she said it was one of her favorites that she ever played. "It's very fun!"

After having a 360 for a couple years, the PS3 blows it out of the water and online play is free, unlike 360. And the added blue ray player is awsome. No other console can even come close to the PS3.
