You guys like new ps3 slim design?

when everybody talk about it its like their going to play ps3 and look on the ps3, not the tv.

its the tv you should look on......

I think you can do whatever you want.

It is not all about the looks but the functionality of the slim version. However, I do agree with you that the original version look better but if I had to buy a ps3, I would go with the slim version.

I'm glad it doesn't look as good, it's like a prize for people who already got a ps3. Johnny come lately's don't get a shiny console!

But if I hadn't already got one, I'd get the new slim over an 80gb. Bigger hard drive, smaller, lighter, and runs more efficiently.

i think ps3 slim is the ugly duckling in ps family :P

I am not trying to troll and I am happy with the ps3 price cut. But, I really don't like this new slim design. I was just thinking about buy old ps3 80GB version. What do you all think? hcho3806

Nah!-Go for the most up to date PS3-The Slim

I am just surprised that we have not hear anything about the BC for PS3 slim. Or did they mention something about it??

They said it has all of the same features as the previous version

As much as I don't like the new look, the reduced energy consumption, and a larger hard drive would be enough for me to chose it over the "fat" if I was looking to buy a PS3 right now. So if I do end up having to replace my current PS3 I wouldn't hesitate to go for the "slim"

Oh man, that is a mistake on their part. I think that they will be able to sell much more consoles with the BC feature.

let's just say im glad that i bought it earlier as far as the design goesfunsohng

I hardly think major 'issue' for the lack of PS3 sells was that it doesn't have BC. Its that it was $399. BC only holds back those who already have a PS3 .. that wants to play ps2 games. I doubt anybody that wanted a PS3 wanted to play PS2 games as their FIRST TOP priority ... not a deal breaker imo for 'them'

ppl that cant get a fat ps3 the s;im should be the choice its cheaper . and who cares if its ugly this isnt a fashion show its gameing

The ps2 slim wasnt that pretty either when you think about it

It dont matter how it looks

as long as it works for me. im ok with it. gonna buy one for our 2nd ps3.

The original PS3 has a better design. I am really impressed at the Slim vers. It has all the same fonction as the original PS3...+ SLIMMER(=portable) + Consumes less power= super savings XD

No, I think it looks lame and less sleek.

exactly. thats why im buying this coz electric bill in the philippines is expensive.

LOOKS REALLY CHEAPLY MADE.

i bet they can make this version cheaper than the big one.

although if it has slim blue ray reader then IT COULD BE MORE EXPENSIVE.

IDK tbh but if i had to go with 1 ill take the big one.

ANYWAYS YOU CAN ALWASY REPLACE THOSE CHEAPLY MADE HARD DISKS AND REPLACE THEM WITH REAL QUALITY OF NEWEGG.

i have a friend with 500gb and 7200rpm, and load times are considerably faster on some games. and he only spent 60 bucks

I think the phat PS3 looks a lot better, but I don't mind the design of the slim

nope, original is much better imo.

i like the fat one.

I like the minimalistic look, I won't be buying it or anything but it does look cool

It's probably the ugliest console/system I have ever seen. I'm perfectly happy with my fat 60gb PS3. Even if I didn't have a PS3 I'd probably still go with a fat system.

I'm absolutely giddy. I love slimmer more minimalist hardware. Great timing too, my 360 is acting up, and I just discovered my copy of Lost Odyssey was somehow bugged after dropping over twenty hours into it. (it freezes at the exact same loading screen every time) So I'm pretty fed up with it at this point. I'm going to take it and my games to Gamestop in the morning, and use the credit towards a Slim in early September. 120GB HDD is the sweet spot zone for HDD sizes for a gaming console, especially one that installs a good deal of it's games. Considering the Blu Ray player, built in wi-fi, 120GB HDD, much much much higher reliability, and free online, that is an astonishing value. I'm all over it.

I like it. I'm selling my 60GB and buying a Slim on Friday after I get paid. :D

EDIT - Well, nevermind. I have to wait till September to buy a Slim. As soon as it hits shelves, I'm buying one!

i think the big ps3 is much nicer. the only reason i would get a ps3 slim is for collectors value. i dont think it looks as good

waited 2 months for this cut..... Thanks sony.

ohhh btw my friend got his hard disk on china, Newegg 500 gb is 120 bucks damn.

I would really recommend this for any enthusiast that way you dont have to get the useless uncharted bundle. Even though after the price cut i still believe IS USELESS.

I like it and will most likely replace mine with it.

I would trade in my PS3 80GB for the slim, but it's not backwards compatable.
