PlayStation 3 (late 2007 - 2009)

By Sony

X

Sony introduced these updated PlayStation 3 models nearly a year after the console's original launch. While they were the most affordable PS3 hardware options yet available, cutting costs resulted in the sacrifice of all PS2 backwards compatibility, two USB ports and the memory card reader that had been available on prior console SKUs.
