I have had my fat 20gb PS3 for over 3 years now. It still works fine although there are a few scratches on the PS3's finish. My question is should I beat my PS3's inevitable death and buy a new 160GB Slim, they're apparently 300 dollars on Amazon, or buy 300 dollars worth of games? My PS3 seems fine but since I've recently started earning lots of disposable cash I've picked up over 10 games that I don't want to be stuck with if my PS3 were to die within the next month.

I've heard that if you have a certain fat PS3 if it breaks you can 100 dollars for a Slim replacement, is that true? If so would I be able to do that from Australia if my PS3 were to break?

hmm, dont worry man, as long as u got the money, its best to buy a new one if it breaks, but lets hope it wont, just be prepared and ready, and cross the bridge when u get there :)
If it's working, why wold you wanna replace it? Phat is much sexier than slim :D That being said, don't spend ALL of that money. buy 1-2 games to keep you entertained for now and save the rest. Besides, if you buy many games that you can't play right now, you'll regret it because the same games can be bought cheaper later.
I got a 60GB May of 2007, but February of 2009 I got the YLOD, sent to Sony and they gave a 60GB refurbished. So far so good with the refurbished for 21 months, but I know I can get the YLOD on a blinking of an eye, so I'm looking for a good deal on a slim.
I think we've all been tempted by a thinner better performing version before, but your phatty is more experienced and is performing well. It knows tricks the thinner version just can't do. Unless you've fallen out of love with it and can't trust it to be faithful, you should keep it.

i know right now sony offers you a refurbished 120gb slim if you have to send in your ps3 for repair and it costs 30$ less. However i am not sure for which PS3's they are doing that for, my 60gb died and i was going to turn it in but could not in the end since i did not have the original HDD.
If you live somewhere nice and cool then your PS3 won't break so soon, my phat is still going strong since i bought at release... Might as well keep it, if it breaks buy a new one, they aint exactly getting any more expensive so who knows, when it breaks the one you want might be even cheaper than it is now.
