Woot! Slim PS3 for life!!! That is, if I had money and if I wanted an extra PS3 to collect dust. :P You guys who waited are so lucky!

It's about preference. the Slim arguably has a worse design (opinion) but it is alot better and anyone waited is in for a teat. they're pating $$$$ less for a console which is better in many ways such as -3x less power consumption. Lighter and thinner for more maneovability and it has a Bravia sync so you can use your Bravia remote with it (you're stuffed if you don't have a Bravia). Of course the Slim isn't worse and it's better (not by much). I think what PSFanboy is trying to say is anyone who waited has got the real deal!

Inside of a Slim:

Look now the cables are in place by tapes.

Inside of an original PS3:

Looks like better quality and there's no cheap tape holding cables.

[QUOTE="Gangstah-Fresh"]The console I bought was sold at a loss for sony, the slim is sold at a profit. I got more bang for my buck with the 80 gb motorstorm ps3 and I don't regret it. Although I will pick one up when it drops in price 2 years down the road as a bluray player for sure loll

People always like to talk without tinking, Sony still sell the Slim at a loss, take a look at this: http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/25/hirai-ps3-slim-sold-at-a-loss-but-business-profitable-overall/

no offense but it seems clear you made this topic to make yourself and a few others feel better because you dont want to pay for a slim... but the slim is better, why would they make something that is worse than the past?

Who cares? If I didn't already have my 60 GB I would get the slim. It's lighter and uses less power than the original. I don't see where people are getting this idea that slimmer models of consoles will overheat or whatever. They made all the parts smaller so it doesn't use so much energy. If anything I would say the slim would be less likely to overheat. The original PS3 gets pretty hot on the side in general. I don't see what the big issue is with BC either. The PS2 has been out almost 9 years, there is no reason for people to have 60+ games they still need to play on the system. Just because you might have that many doesn't mean you play them all. I had like 50 some odd games before PS3 came out and I only played like 3 or 4 of them.

People refusing to get a new system because it's ugly or because it doesn't have BC are pretty shallow. Since when does a look of a system have to do with the quality of games it has or puts out? Since when does enjoyment of new games have to do with being able to play last generation games? Isn't the point of getting the new system to play the new games you can't play on the previous system.
