I heard that they relased a new ps3 slim that had a better chip or something to reduce like overheating?.....

anyways should i just like a new ps3 slim?

I have the 80 gig b/c motorstorm ps3 and its failing on me in terms of blu ray laser not reading the discs very well

I just ask because my dad mentioned it

he was thinking like 320 gb bundle

I know its cheper to just repair my old one

but in the long run do you think the old fat ps3 would be able last?

once something of it gets deffective doesn't the whole thing follow suit?

its up to you my 60GB launch just crapped out on me and i cant get it fixed so i lost it completely. I have an 80gb that is working fine, if you watch a lot of movies blu ray and cant its up to you, it will cost you 149.99 + shipping just to send it in not matter what the problem is if you give it to sony. They also have a deal where they offer a refurbished slim 120 GB and charge you only 119 + shipping. If you have the money its up to you maybe get a new bundle then send in the other one later to have it fixed and possibly get the slim replacement.

Both the current 160GB and the 320GB slim PS3's have the latest chipset in them. I researched the same thing a week ago when my 80GB MGS PS3 crapped the bed for the third and final time. I bought the 160GB with the intention of putting a 320GB HDD into it, it runs much quieter than the old 80GB with the exception of the disc drive, it's definitely more audible. I'm going to try to fix the old system to get my data off of it, but it's being sold for parts beyond that.

i got a 320 gig slim on top of my 160 gig (and 60 gig launch model that got ylod) recently too..was gonna get the move anyway and wanteda second ps3 for downstairs so i got the move pack which was a good deal cause the two games u normally get for free i already owned anyway, so the move was a good replacement for that..

u can never have too many ps3s i guess? :p
