Ps3 or Ps3 Slim

[Mako-Infused]

Im buying one now, so which one should i get? please do leave reasons why i should choose one.

[xXRaDiCaLXx]

The goods about it is that it has a good price,slimmer, more compact design with quieter operation, all games are in high-definition, easy-to-use interface, doubles as a Blu-ray and upscaling DVD player, built-in Wi-Fi, 120GB hard drive, HDMI output with 1080p support, no external power supply, built-in Web browser, and a free online gaming service. I myself am going to buy one.

[Syphongamer08]

slim for sure, cheaper. as well as it looking twice as slick as the bulk

[xWhite_Shadowx]

Get the original, it looks so much better, and the slim isn't "slimmer" its just shorter tall wise. Old PS3s are the way to go, mines an old one and I wouldn't trade it for 2 Slims :)

[Mako-Infused]

thanks for that, ill probley go with da old one

So are the old PS3s but the slim can't do backwards compatibility at all can it? And if you want more memory on your PS3 just buy a bigger internal hardrive it isn't that hard and all the PS3s a cheaper alot cheaper i got my ps3 for 500$ so yea.

[CaNANDian]

the phat ps3s also have "Install other OS" so u can install linux on it too, but for same price u get 40gb more without other OS on slim.

slim can play psone

[SGT_PiTBULL]

I might get a Slim PS3 some time. If the Slim didn't come out I would never get it for sure. It takes up a lot of space.
Slim PS3 will just replace my Slim PS2.

Get the slim. Getting a phat is just plain stupid.
Pay the same price for a heavier, bigger machine with less memory, just because it's shinier... meh...
Slim ftw.

[Kryss]

[Pain_ELementaL]

When the Slim burns out in a year and a half, you'll have wished you had bought a phat one.

Just saying.

[DFZ]

i went to gamestop today and they already sold out yesterday O_o (yup, early release date i found out today lol) they tried to sell me a fat ps3 for the sane price but only 80 gigs -_-

[Mako-Infused]

when i get my ps3 i'm going to be putting in my own hardrive 300 gb ftw and i am going to get the ps3 phat for 1 simple reason which os do u think i am running right now

lol linux on the ps3, one of the most stupid and most useless features i have heard lol

It seems that i may be getting a slim, then since most people are leaning to that

[CodingHS]

I bet people said the same about the PS2 slims...and yeah, it did happen to them.

You can't compare a PSP and a PS3...PSP's don't even have cooling systems.

Funny that you say that.
I had a fat PS2 for about a year, almost two. It eventually broke and scratched up my CDs because the CDs didn't stay in place when they were spinning.
Then I got a slim PS2 and I've had that for about 2 almost 3 years. Yea, no problems with it.

[DFZ]

WooT, just bought a slim today with resistance fall of man, getting 2k10 when it comes out :D

[Kryss]

And socom and metal gear ?

[DFZ]

And socom and metal gear ?

i just bought the cheapest shooter i found lol, 19.99 used :P

[Kryss]

lol save your $$ then ?

[poorkingz]

The slim version uses a more efficient chip so it's quieter and less likely to overheat. Also, it has a decent sized hard drive for it's price. Rumor is that a FW update will add a PS2 emulator, allowing all PS3's to be backword compatible.

[Kryss]

Thats cool. i didnt know that.

in addition to that, take a look at the fan inside a ps3 slim...

That's a 12V, 1.3A, 95 mm diameter, 17 blade fan.
and, not only is it huge and hopefully more than sufficient for cooling, it's also apparently quiet. Which is good, cause then you won't have to struggle to hear the gameplay sounds over a jet engine keeping your ps3 cool. xD

[Kryss]

Complete ownage so now i wont wake up my mom lol.

[Syphongamer08]

struggle to hear gameplay over a jet engine keeping your ps3 cool lol. way to go totally indepth there md

[CaNANDian]

Fat PS3's only get loud if you don't take care of them and keep the room ventilated, i have not heard my fan kick into the 2nd stage ever...

People who don't take care of things just blame the product when it's actually their fault.

1. quiet? wtf? its quiet all ready...
2. fat is upgradable, might be good size....for now
3. only place you make a valid point, but if its for all PS2's....who cares? update, you have to anyway.

[Kryss]

All i know is that i want my ps3 nao

That's been a rumor since around december, though.
It's also been said that they scrapped that idea =[

[Kryss]

MAbye its just a rumor ?

[Syphongamer08]

Wait so as it stands right now PS3 can't play PS2 games?

[DFZ]

Wait so as it stands right now PS3 can't play PS2 games?

if u want a ps3 that can play ps2 or ps1, buy a backwards compatible one on ebay ;)

[Kryss]

lol im not really interested in playing any offline games anyway =P.
Can the ps3 games be played online on ps3?

The current PS3 is almost silent anyways. Put it next to a 360 if you think it's loud.

The original PS3's (60gb models) have a higher fail rate than any other model.

[Kryss]

Everyone else is on socom lol

[Mako-Infused]

lol socom is gay, wait for cod 6 :P

[Pain_ELementaL]

lol socom is gay, wait for cod 6 :P

Cod doesn't have anything on Socom. Noob friendly, pickup and play FPS vs. tactical, squad based military simulator. No competition :)

[_PRaLiNeS_]

^agreed.

[Kryss]

No one word responses.
And COD fails period

[RPGbig]

Since the topic was ps3 or ps3 slim I'll forget about some of the post.
The regular ps3 is way better. It's unecary to have that much hardrive space and Sony never makes the new ps3 better.
