Ps3 or Ps3 Slim

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

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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

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.

really? no other OS?

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.

PREPARE FOR APOCALYPSE!!!

Priceless!

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

Just saying.

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.

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

And socom and metal gear ?

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

lol save your $$ then ?

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.

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

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

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

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.
