This is for sure a topic discussed before, but I wanna bring it up again. Which version of the PS3 do you prefer? The big PS3 or the Slim? If you own a slim would you rather have owned a fat? Or possibly vice versa

I am all for the big PS3. I own one of each console, 120gb Slim and a 80gb B/C console. I use them both for different reasons. Mostly because I feel the Slim is less prone to breaking. But still I love the big console more.

Big PS3 because touch panel and mine's ceramic white. If only Sony produces white ceramic slim I'd buy it.

I've always liked the original versions of Playstations better. Didn't like PSone much, didn't like the PS2 slim, that thing was way too small.
And I don't like the slim PS3 either, I like the glossy finish of the Fat's as I take care of thhem and they don't get dirty/finger-printy. And I don't like that they made the touch buttons into actual buttons on the slim.
Plus I just don't like the fact that it is smaller, dunno why.

And the new slim 360 only furthers my opinion that slims are worse. That thing looks awful.

i never owned a phat, but technically speaking PS3 Slim is hands down better. the ONLY drawback is the lack of backward compatibility.

I like the slim because you can't get a FFXIII Lightning Edition fat model anywhere :P

Slim, it looks better in my opinion and is easier on the eyes. I don't like how it creaks when the plastic is cooled after being played though.

I thought the slim looked really cool and hi-tech when it first came out, but now that I've gotten used to it, I'll take my big shiny box over it any day:D

Honestly I think the big PS3 is a better looking console, however, I like the matte finish of the slim because it would match my other console's matte black finish.

I prefer the slim model. Mostly because of the matte black finish. If the original model was available in matte then I would have that.

I like the slims better. However I don't like the cringe-inducing cracking noises they make and I miss the touch sensitive buttons on fatso. It's nice not having to worry about running out of HDD space, YLOD/disc drive failures and its good looks don't get wrecked by dust, fingerprints and smears. Those were the worst things about 60GB's.

PS3 Phat because it's backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 games, it has the switch in the back and it has more USB ports.

PS3 slim.

Runs cooler, quieter, less electricity, less chance of breaking down. The phatties eat a ton of electricity! And slim is much smaller as I prefer to have my gaming system almost hidden away where it isn't so obvious. The matte finish and smaller size looks better to me. I like my PS3 as I like my girls.... Nice and slim. NO FATTIES!

Unless Sony decides to finally stop **** around and make a slim with the revised manufacturing processes, with the functionality of the original 60GB model... namely:
  • Backward Compatibility
  • Linux support
  • Flash memory slots
  • More USB ports
And the like, I would reconsider it. As such, Sony has once again proven that it's better to get their faulty launch model, as they repeatedly neuter the revised model... which usually should be better made, and have better functionality. :roll:

I don't know but I don't like the big PS3 I have now. It is so so annoying and loud it's like SHUT UP I can't hear the tv while the parents are asleep!

I love my 60GB Fatty. It is BC and the glossy black finish just looks beastly and the shape and size of it with the nice beautiful buttons. The sim in my opinion looks bland and ugly like a PS2 did.

For my money, it's the slim.

The Slim's exterior is a little bit more flimsy than the original, it looks a little bit cheaper. But who cares? We buy it to play video games, not decorate our house.You don't get the fancy sensor buttons; its push buttons. But forget the fancy technology. The push button is better; you can shut it off with just a push, instead of bending over for 2 seconds. For me, it can get annoying after a bit.
