PS3 Slim is a go

[NeoOutlaw]

PS2s weren't durable. My phat PS2 broke after being dropped once. I've dropped my slim ps2 twice and it's still kicking (thankfully). The weight of a device plays a decent role in whether it will break or not. More the mass = greater the shock when it makes impact to the ground from a drop.

i didn't mean break if you drop it, of course it will break and it's your own fault for dropping it. what i meant was how long they would last before they burnt out. the slim ones didn't last nearly as long as the fat ones. hell my fat ps2 still works ok after all these years

Now that im thinking about it, i may want to pick one up when i have the extra cash (Right after i buy a new PSP-2000. :p). Same reason eveyone else has been saying. The portability factor. :D Personally, i've always been too nervous to bring my 60 gig due to it's rarity. :p Can live without BC in terms of portabilty. :D

I believe Madnis said this early as well; however, the older models have a nice price drop too. :D I was bored and was looking through the the Gamestop website; not only are the the 80 gig models (Originally 399.99) on sale, but the 20 gig (Originally $349.99)(no Wifi) and 60 gig (Originally $429.99) models as well. Grant it they are used, but at least you have another chance to get BC. Also, the HDD can always be changed. :D

To Neo:
Same old, just different day. :p I know, It's been a while Neo. :D Hope to see you next week ! :D

There are a few things I dont like about the slim PS3...

1. no BC, I'll stick to my 60gb (With a 500gb hd)
2. no wired internet. the wireless controls in the PS3 suck, with no multiple profile settings.
3. only 2 USB ports
4. no otherOS option, gonna suck when it finally gets hacked.

2. no wired internet. the wireless controls in the PS3 suck, with no multiple profile settings.

This is probably the biggest problem. But honestly, netplay is overrated.

Looks like wired internet to me. :p I completely forgot about Linux too. That sucks you can't install it on the new one. :\ Although, maybe it's possible to mod the slimmer ones. :) Also, is it just me, or did they change the PS3 cord ?
