I prefer my bulky one with fingerprints and bonus dust collect too... but i still think the new one isn't half as bad as people are making out.

I prefer the look of the slim. I prefer the matte finnish and that logo's better than the silly spiderman font on the original PS3s.

Shame theres no new controller , like the boomerang version, that would just about finish the collection off for me..!
Almost verging on the personal portable online gaming of the next century..!
thx maj
PS; I still love my sparkling and shinny jet back n Chrome finished four port and card holding first super model..! Now Sony are just competing on the game front - thats their foucus ( beat Xbox), although upgrades in firmware could change again the visardial front of the ever moving PS3 frontline..!

its not faster the slim console just uses less electricity, causes less heat and is ultimately cheaper to produce increasing sony's profit

depends really, For online clearly xbobx at the moment but that is understandable due to the fact they have to pay for the online service so they will obviously get a better online expirience compared to the ps3, we can't really argue we are using a free service. For games/offline i would say ps3 with some impressive releases such as GT5 and Uncharted 2 to mention a few, will blow the xbox out of the water graphicaly and physically

hmmm it looks good but there was a PS2 slim at i overheated i hope this one does not
also an Xbox becomes more expencive overtime if u want to play online and some of them dont come with a HD cable
in the past an PS3 would be better cuz for the one main reason they did niot breake down all the time but now it about equal but for me the PS3 is better.
and the better graphics are properly cuz of blueray
to the price cut i think it happend for the first PS3 because acura vistion said if they dont cut the price they will stop supporting it. (the PS3)
ps sorry for being a bit nerd (im not one)

Haha Dark, and actually they would have to bring out a cheaper version of the ps3 if they had to have a price cut anyway, as at the moment they already lose money for each ps3 they sell i think, and apparently ps3 slim is less money to make?

Burn and copy Music onto it and create your own music files how you want them and what orer ya wana play em.. BTW it will accept files from your MP3 player and download them too.
You got a great games console, playin great unmatched graphics games > take a look at Killzone, and online gameplay does'nt differ...
If you got an old model PS3 you can play PS2 game, errm, sorry I said that. But you can also read your camera card too ( if you got an old model PS3> it STILL OWNZ..!)...!
Okay Okay the new version is aimed at gamers... but bar the extra USB ports and card readers your pretty much getting the same deal, Online support and game play and music and vid player, what more do you want..?
I think as games develop onto 3D and into more real-pyhics lead game play, where game and strategy and tacic makes areal hole in what you do count, then you will find that 360 will lose out. Alread we have seen games that just cant be played on the 360 without losing something already... So you have invested in the best, short and long term in my opinion..!
The biggest develpments will come later, like the 3D, has SOny start to intergrate this tech into the structure and cells of its processing power. So instead of going to the cinem to watch a great 3D film, you can download it. The future will possibly come as a multi disc drive holding Blueray player / PS3 hit the market, meaning you never need to get out your chair to change the game your playing or film you wana watch...?

PS: Let's not forget that your PS3 talks to your PC..! Thats if they share the same router. You also got the PSp which too, also talks and is wifi ( like having your PS3 in your hand held = amazin bruv... So with all this, the PS3 is the future... I stream moves from my PC all the time, which is great if I cant burn em on cd etc... Infact there are so many things that we are not using, only cos we are gamers...PS3 is the multi media master..!
