i was thinking of buying a 120 gb ps3 slim soon. i used to have an 80 gb fatso model. i understand it is made with cheaper parts. im sure most of you have original ps3 models, but if you had to buy over again, would you get the same one, or go slimmer?

what makes no sense to me is that you can only turn in your ps3 for $150 max and by 10/04/09 it will only be $100

I'd go slim just because carrying my ps3 to college was an ordeal. I would want the lighter weight.
However, I personally think the original looks way more sexy.

i agree bm. the older model may be bigger and heavier. but it really is ssooo much sexier.

I'm hesitant to even consider a ps3 slim - I already have two ps3s lol.
But I don't know if y'all recall, when the PS2 slim first came out, a lot of them were turning into bricks as the lazers burnt out. I'd give it some time before looking at one.
Plus I have a 320gig HD in my gaming ps3, space isn't really an issue.

yeah. thats what im worried about. cheaper parts are a huge concern. i have some time to still do some research. im not worried about space either. but 160 gb models are 400 still. so for 300 bucks, it might be the way to go.

I ordered a slim 2 days ago because my original keeps
freezing and can't read the discs once in a while. I'm still waiting for it to come, but my original crapped out (sort of) so it can't be much worse. Plus the slim runs much cooler which is a concern for me because itsin a cabinet.

i dont really like the matte finish of the slim model. i wish i could just borrow 1 and take it home for a test drive. then make a decision lol.

Hi decayswife!! Well I have both, we just got the slim. It's half the size obviously and looks cheaper on the outside. It runs fine though. I don't notice any difference really. So unless you are showcasing your ps3 then I would go with the slim. Hope that helps, and btw the EVOD is looking forward to another lady returning to lotr. If you are interested in playing with us add me when you finally decide which ps3 to get  |
