one's slimmer, less shiny, and can't stand vertically without a proprietary stand. the other is fatter, time tested, and looks like a machine that might have once costed 600 dollars.

You also can't install linux on the ps3 slim, but who knows, that might change with a firmware update?

The slim is slimmer (obviously), quiter, and you cannot install Linux on it. The Slim is actually a small bit faster than the original because of an improved processor. I would post a link to prove it but I can't find the site I saw the video on.

There's a few differences.

1. There's no BC.

2. You can not put Linux on it.

3. It is much quieter and in my opinion noticeably faster; also the power cord is not giant in size.

4. No SD memory card slots as with some of the "fat" models.

That's my .02

I think the slim is much faster then the old phatty.I bought one right when they came out and traded in my old 20 gig for it.It was well worth it in my opinion.

the slim finally has bitstreaming of HD audio to your receiver. This feature alone makes it worth it to me.

its almost obvious from the "bitstreaming" bit, but in order to do that (my receiver supports it) weve got to set up the ps3 to Bitstream correct?

that's it, also it's quieter, though what some people might tell you, it can stand vertically, though it won't be as safe as with the old model that it's like a tank

Obviously not. The Ps3 (slim) does everything.
