Im starting to feel really excited..And I just cant hide it..:)

I have posted a few times over the years about wanting to get a PS3 from time to time. I have continuously put it off not wanting to spend the money. The only reason I didnt get one at launch is the price was way too high even for me...A gaming freak..

BUT with the new price...Its simply a perfect time. My wife and I are wanting to get into BluRay next year with income tax time, so I have reccomended we grab a PS3. She is cool with it plus knows im a gamer and sees a good bang for the buck.

So here is my question...Is the new slim still a good quality machine? Is it still acceptable for playing Bluray and DVD movies? How does everyone feel about your purchase?

By the way...I have both consoles from the others this gen...BUT Im a gamer..no fanboy so I want the best of every world.

PS3 slim is very good and worth it.

You get the samequality in the slim as the fat boy offered.

I bought the 40GB for $400 and feel like every penny was worth it. No fanboyism either I just love the PS3's exclusives compared to other consoles.anime_gamer007

yeah i bought the 80 GB wth B/C for 700 nd i think its still worth it...so yeah youre getting a deal

Not sure if this relates to you but the quality of playback on AVI and other files is great. Games are region free, my personal favorite feature of the PS3.

The games are "region free!"??? Are you serious? That means I can play Japanes games and others right??

YES!!!

Yakuza 3 is awesome!!! Kenzan! is incredible!!! (acually enjoyed Kenzan more than 3 but I'm only about half way through 3, I think it was the time period which grabbed me more)

I usually order from playasia.com, alot of times you can get korean version games for $20 (Spiderman WoS, Afrika was $25 full english) not to mention the option of getting games like SIREN and R&C Quest for booty on disc.

maybe you can do a custom Pointer Sisters skin?

I am very happy with the PS3. I bought it on launch, and its been running 90% of the time since then. for 299$ you will have the best bluray player on the market because of the unlimited and free firmware updates. You will have 120GB of storage available to store movies, mp3, pictures, etc.. it can also play movies and pictures that are stored on your computer. The games are amazing. I dont regret it for a second and i am very satisfied.melkar1

Relaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaax man, you'll live longer (therefore enabling you to play more games might I add).

Anywho, i payed $1200AU for mine, and i don't regret it. Oh damn, i just realised your question was about the slim. Sorry dude, i got no idea. Want me to ask someone for you?

I Slim is well worth the money.

OK...Its confirmed for sure 100% that we are going to get the PS3. I dont have 1080p but I do have 720p and 1080i. Does the PS3 come with component cables? Plus I have heard many problems with HDMI. Anyone here have problems? Another thing...JUST TO MAKE SURE....Can I get the instore warranty at places like BestBuy to replace my PS3 if anything goes wrong? I have been through too many 360s and dont want to deal with junk anylonger..

yes to all your questions. We have an 80Gb fat and the 120Gb slim. The slim is just as good as the older machine. Great games, plays SD DVDs and Blu-ray as well as the older model. Wireless is great, streaming pics and movies, and music from the PC hard drive is great also.

btw : both helen and I, think the slim looks just as good as the older model, and it is not as obtrusive.

Thanks for the new replies on this older thread...BUT again...without me having to call up BB, do any of you know if they offer the instore warranty for the PS3? This is the most important question of all. Cause I am not going to sit here and worry if this thing is going to screw up like my 360 has so many times. I know the PS3 has a little better life rate, but I like to be covered....thanks much..
