The PlayStation 3 (PS3) gaming console made by Sony. Nicknamed the "Super Slim", it is the third and final hardware design of the PlayStation 3 console. It is smaller and lighter than the previous systems, but the most notable change is the move from a slot-loading Blu-Ray drive to a sliding-door version. Released in late 2012, it was available with either 250GB or 500GB hard drive, or with 12GB of flash memory.
