The 2009 PS3 Slim shrinks the chassis by a third and swaps the Fat's IEC C14 power inlet for the smaller IEC C8 figure-8 used by every Slim and Super Slim after it. The redesign keeps HDMI, Sony AV Multi Out, optical TOSLINK and Gigabit Ethernet, but trims USB from four to two ports and drops the launch Fat's hidden flash card readers. CECH-2000 is also the first PS3 to support HDMI-CEC, letting your TV remote control the console over HDMI.
2009 PS3 Slim: HDMI 1.4, AV Multi Out, optical TOSLINK, 2× USB 2.0, Gigabit Ethernet — and the first PS3 to switch to an IEC C8 figure-8 inlet.

Notes & Compatibility
First PS3 to support HDMI-CEC. HDMI hardware is HDMI 1.3 on the CECH-2000; CECH-2500 onwards advertise HDMI 1.4 features such as 3D. Flash-card readers (Memory Stick / SD / CompactFlash) are gone — they only existed on the launch CECHA/CECHB Fat units. Power supply integrates into the chassis and uses an IEC C8 figure-8 inlet (replacing the Fat’s C14). PS1 backwards compatibility remains, PS2 backwards compatibility does not.
