Hey guess what, the ps3 slim is out. Here is a inside look.

i might get one for taking it out of the house, trevalling that sort of thing. I also take to my friends place once in awhile because he doesn't have one, i am trying to convence him on buying one you see.

he's a stubbern one i tell ya lol.

God, I hate it when this happens. I buy a new 80gb PS3, I enjoy it, thinking they'll never bring out a slim version because it has so many features, and then they bring out a slim version. ARGH! Well, I guess that's just the way wth companys...

It still looks like a George Foreman Grill, it's not much smaller either. Might have been good if they'd used the opportunity to make it look a little better, as it is it looks like someone's sat on an original model.

The whole point of the PS3 slim is to cut the manufacturing costs. The parts will cost consideribly less because of poorer quality and smaller size, so while you might get a cheep PS3, it will be more unreliable than the PS3 already is.

What i meen by more unreliable is the PS3 gets the yellow light of death (the ps3's version of the RROD) which renders it useless !

My 60GB Ps3 which i got on the european release date had one recently and cost 50 english pounds to fix

... And not to mention it will probebly not have a media card reader on the front (which they dropped with the 40GB version, not sure about 80GB and others) and the ability to play PS2 games.

So i wouldnt be tempted by a sleeker design.

I don't think that well happen, they still have the massive heatsinks in them, like all the ps3's. Unlike the 360 grr.

Just search "yellow light of death" on google, its happend to most my mates who have PS3's, thats why i turned to PC gaming and now my PS3 is an expensive DVD player lol.

Theres a yellow light of death? Never heard of it... I've had a PS3 since it came out and neither me or my friends has gotten an error... Is it the same kind of error as the 360? the E40 or something one?

That's all mine is, I haven't put a game disk in there for months, the other half uses it as a Bluray player.
