My PS3 is still just as good. The only difference is size, price, and hard drive. Still no backwards compatability.

Why does it seem that the original PS3 looks better than the PS3 Slim in my opinion?

I agree. The PS3 Slim look a bit too... plastic. In a different way than the regular one... I can't really describe it...

[ShadowsOfSilver]

Su. Price Drop, Slimmer console and Bigger HDD. I'm getting it because I don't have a PS3 and it's slimmer and has a bigger HDD. I'll hsve enough money then.

[Super Sonic Boom]

Yah, it looks like it doesn't have the "PS3" shine that we all see in the stores behind the cases.

[ChaosMaster]

Well, at least it's one I have a better chance of affording! 

[Super Sonic Boom]

Well, at least it's one I have a better chance of affording! 

Now that's going to be the best part, that way...either me or one of my friends could buy one and we could play it!

[ChaosMaster]

Now that's going to be the best part, that way...either me or one of my friends could buy one and we could play it!

both me and you could finally try sonic '06 too

[Super Sonic Boom]

both me and you could finally try sonic '06 too

Yah, that's a game that I think has been totally under-rated...but that's for a different topic!

[ChaosMaster]

I just am dieing for a ps3. I'll get that, MGS4, KZ2, and Sonic '06!!! 

[Super Sonic Boom]

That's just so funny, now-a-days you just wait a while and a cheaper version of a gaming console will come out for retail!

[ChaosMaster]

plus, you can use the USB controller plug for your computer! It's good for me cause I play a lot of PC games

[Super Sonic Boom]

plus, you can use the USB controller plug for your computer! It's good for me cause I play a lot of PC games

Really, wow...that's going to be a major plus for alot of PC gamers like yourself!

[Elija2]

Looks pretty sexy. I would totally buy one if I had the money, Wii games are getting a bit...boring.

Yah, it looks like it doesn't have the "PS3" shine that we all see in the stores behind the cases.

True, but that likely means that the PS3 Slim will attract a lot less less dust.

[ChaosMaster]

Really, wow...that's going to be a major plus for alot of PC gamers like yourself!

no, it already can. The current PS3 has a USB cord to charge it's batteries and it can also plug into the computer.

[Super Sonic Boom]

no, it already can. The current PS3 has a USB cord to charge it's batteries and it can also plug into the computer.

Holy crap, now that's something I could use on certain LP's!

[ShadowsOfSilver]

IT DUSH? Yay. I'll like that.

[Jordan teh Echidna]

i saw it is 32% smaller, uses up 34% less energy and is 36% lighter than the PS3...hmmm

[ShadowsOfSilver]

Yes, another reason I want one. :3

[ChaosDazer]

It's cheaper

Yessss....

[ShadowsOfSilver]

:3 YES Chaosy.kun, it is.

[Super Empra]

i was gonna post this but it looks like u beat me to it

i see that they have also changed the logo

[ShadowsOfSilver]

Yupyup. Haha, I FINALLY beat you to something.

[nkansah1]

if you have a ps3 already why bother getting another one no different the the original one accept the size and the price

[ShadowsOfSilver]

I don't have one.

[SlashXVI]

I hope this one won't turn out as much epic fail as the Slim PS2...Those systems were horrible, No fans to cool the system ruin it.

[ShadowsOfSilver]

IMO, they're better than the PS2 Phat's. ROFL.

[NeoMetalSonic]

I hope this one won't turn out as much epic fail as the Slim PS2...Those systems were horrible, No fans to cool the system ruin it.

how was the PS2 Slim horrible? They seem pretty epic to me.

My answer may have been based on cause I have a SCPH-79001 Slim PS2

They are too thin for fans and the fans keep the console from overheating. So people had alot of problems with that...You can't play the damn thing for over 3 hours without it burning.

[ChaosMaster]

I have a slim ps2, and I play it for over 6 hours, what you talkin' bout?

[SlashXVI]

I have a slim ps2, and I play it for over 6 hours, what you talkin' bout?

Well it depends which one you had year wise? I know right when they came out that had millions of complaints, but they may have fixed it at some point.

[Super Empra]

I won't need this, I already have 60GB PS3 that plays PS2/PS1 games

[Snooky]

I wasn't impressed when they did this with the PS2, and I'm certainly not impressed now.

[Super Empra]

I wasn't impressed when they did this with the PS2, and I'm certainly not impressed now.

And why is that?

[Snooky]

And why is that?

It's the exact same thing, just a bit smaller <_<

[Super Empra]

It's the exact same thing, just a bit smaller <_<

"The final surprise of the press conference was the unveiling of the new PS3 system. Responding to consumer demand for more space and the move towards downloadable content and games, the new model features 120GB hard disk drive whilst being 32% smaller in size and 36% lighter, with 34% less power consumption. Available in stores the week of September 1, 2009, the new PS3 will be priced at £249. The current PS3 will also be reduced to £249 from August 19, 2009."

It's a lot better than the older model and it even costs the same!

So the hard drive is slightly different. Wow.

INCORRECT. I accidentally left mine on for about 20 hours. Roflllll

It depends which one you had year wise. (In my other comment) They probably fixed them at a point. Right when they came out my bro had one and it overheated because of leaving it on. They probably fixed the problem sometime.

[Snooky]

"32% smaller in size and 36% lighter, with 34% less power consumption"

Thanks, I clearly didn't notice that part.

[annoyinglad]

Thanks, I clearly didn't notice that part.

The only real difference is that now you use slightly less electricity... Slim is nice, but it's not needed... Just a price drop on the regular would have been much more sensible. Instead they're wasting the money to make two versions of the console. At least until the original is discontinued and everyone starts buying the Slim because it's "better."

My point extended upon.

[ShadowsOfSilver]

PS3 slim is going to be the PS3. No more PS3 Phat's once the ones in stores are sold.

[annoyinglad]

PS3 slim is going to be the PS3. No more PS3 Phat's once the ones in stores are sold.

And the ones that are still being made as we speak... The factories have to complete the consoles they're contracted for as well, so they won't be gone right away.

[ShadowsOfSilver]

Still. They will be.

[Super Empra]

But who is actually going to buy the old model? The new model is better and costs the same.

[annoyinglad]

Not "better" in functionality. Besides the newer model may be smaller and all that, but because of this, it is easier to get it damaged by a careless owner. Plus, no matter what they do with the fans, it will overheat faster.

[SonicFan47]

Plus, no matter what they do with the fans, it will overheat faster.

Not true! You could do something like this!

Course, that'd probably blow everything else out of the system.

[Hakudamashi]

I honestly don't see what the big hype about a slimmer PS3 is
is it really all that impressive that its easier to carry or what?

+1
Snooky approves. You should be honored.

[Hakudamashi]

um,thanks I guess

[Rulep]

I don't know why people thought PS3 was a rip or over priced, before... Your spending/getting  $250 Descent BlueRay Player   $85 for a HD. $70 Dual Shock 3  $150 For free online service, play music/videos etc, playing games.  Seems pretty fair for me.

[Sonicboom238]

I wish i had a ps3.That i must buy soon.

[DJ Boredom]

I might get it. Since it's cheaper now and less space.

[sonicmaddave]

I hope this one won't turn out as much epic fail as the Slim PS2...Those systems were horrible, No fans to cool the system ruin it.

My slim PS2 DOES have a fan in it, but it's tiny. It's one of the early slim models and it's been used heavily and still works great after countless hours of use.

On topic; I have a regular PS3 80GB model (upgraded to 250 by me). Looks-wise I prefer it over the slim model, the slim one just doesn't look right to me at all.

[nazo unleashed]

ok im so getting that for chrismas.

[ShadowsOfSilver]

rofl. If you say so, Nazo.

[Chaos Swissroll]

PS3 Slim is 2,399 in my country, can't afford.
