I had the original launch console, when it finally died I went and bought a slim and I have to be honest...I prefer the slim by far, it's quieter than my other system and it uses less energy, so it's win win. :)

I used to own the Fat, and replaced with Slim. I like the Slim more, it is much compacter and easier looking to the eye. This is just my opinion though, most of my friends prefer the Fat.

I have to go with the Fat one mostly because it looks so much nicer.

Slim as it uses less energy, takes up less space and is easier to keep clean :P

I am thinking about getting the slim after having the ylod on my ps3... even though I was able to fix it but it keeps turning off after few hours turing it on! in my opinion "Fat people cannot run as far as slim people do"

I have one of each, and I really liked the look of my slim when I got it but was thoroughly dissapointed when I saw that it didn't have the nice touch buttons that the fatty one did ;-;

I think the slim looks better horizontally but I prefer the buttons on the fat one. I'm probably leaning towards the slim one.

I like the Slim more. No PS2 and the random loud creaking noises are the only things wrong with it.

I have the one that has hardware backward compatibility, which is, IMO, the best one.

I prefer the fat. It's so sleek. If I could find one, I would buy a white one. I hate Colorware for stopping fat ps3 painting.

slim, it has smaller size, less power consumption, and less YLOD.

Mine makes noise at certain times, like when playing GTA4, and gets extremely hot. I must be unlucky :(

Who says the failure rate is 0.2%? And how does anyone know if the Slim has a lower chance of YLOD? Of course one will have a higher or lower failure simply because they are both designed differently, but that doesn't mean the Slim is more reliable.

if the slim was glossy/shiny like the fat models then the slim would have been perfect!
