Original PS3 vs PS3 Slim

[smithmiller6]

I have to find out this from all of you. Do you believe you will miss the sexy gloss and chromed out Play station 3 logo on the top of the original PS3?

Or do you believe that the PS3 Slim is the only option that should be offered?

I actually love both my 60GB launch PS3s because they are basically the only fully loaded PS3s out in the environment. What do you think about no more of the fat and sexy PS3?



Sony ps3 skins and ps3 slim skins

IF, and that's a really big "if", I were to ever buy on, I would want the full funtion unit that's both backwards compatible and capable of spooling off my old PS1 games onto the PSP. Even then, I absolutely hate the slot loader drives the things have.

While every other console maker on the planet tries to add new features to revised models of their game console hardware we consistantly see Sony pulling this garbage of releasing revised models of their consoles with less features than the previous model(s) have. So no, I don't believe the PS3 Slim should have ever been made.

And whats the deal with this "slim" fad these days? Since when did our culture get so shallow that we went from belittling fat people to now saying, "O man we can't have a fat game machine. Its gotta be skinny, sleek, sexy. Cause thats all its really about, the sex appeal and the money. And in a few years these skinny little machines will be replaced by sleeker, sexier, skinnier machines and the sheep that are the buyers will continue to say, "Ooh sleeker, slimmer, it must be better."
Like Lemmings dropping from a cliff only to come back and do it next year, forgetting how much it sucked last time.

I don't care much for the backward compatibility compared to it being a cheap, upgradable Blu-Ray player. It is funny that the drive takes up almost half the space of the entire console when we have blu-ray drives that fit in laptops now.

I like my original ps3 just fine, I'm not dropping loads of money again for a downgrade.

How is it a downgrade?

Only negatives I see with the slim are:

- no compatibility with PS2 games could be a deal breaker for some
- the buttons on the slim (eject, power) are physical push buttons and not touch; no master on/off switch to cut power off.
- 2 USB ports vs 4 on the old model
- can't install linux
- needs a stand to sit vertically

The pros are:

- Can Bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
- runs cooler
- uses less power
- boots and loads just as fast as old model with newest firmware
- can still upgrade the hard drive

- Can Bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio

That's a big one.

I dont remind it very well, but I think thats the level which you just have to destroy the electron with 1 infotron, and this way obtain the 9.
Its like a deceitful level.
