Playstation 3 SLIM - opinions

Philippines
September 2, 2009 9:30pm CST
Playstation 3 is priced at $299. They say that this console is lighter, more energy efficient, slimmer (of course), new buttons, and has 120GB HDD.. (New firmware also) Do you have any doubts about its cooling features? Was it enough? Did PS3 SLIM solved the YLOD issues? How many hours you spend in gaming? Do you think its far more better than the thick version?

I think new slim is better than older version of PS3 but i am getting my PS3 80GB from friend for 175$ XD so i think i am willing to take the lesser modle since it cheaper and under 5 months old. Only difference is that you dont have backwards compability and you cant install linux that about it...... O.o answer is....... PS2 which u can get for 50$ used at gamestop..... and just use PS3 slim in peace... Other PS3s will go down in price except maybe the 60GB ones that are most backwards compabile with PS2 games.... Especialy since 80GB PS3 went down 100$ but is still sold for same price as slim...

I consider buying the new PS3 slim, but only when this console is getting cheaper. In Germany the new version of the PS3 is brand new on the market. So I will wait and see. The lost ability to install Linux on it is bearable for me, because the main reason for buying that device is to play games and perhaps to surf on the Internet. That's all. Maybe I will buy the former version of PS3, it depends on the amount of money that I am able to spend. But I know for sure, that I will buy the PS3 and not the xBox or Wii, because I have a big flat screen tv and finally, I want to watch BlueRay movies! :D

I still have the original ps3 since launch.. Hasn't overheated and still running smooth. And I hope you get your systems hooked up with HDMI.. Don't know what your missing out on!
