ZachMetallica said:Buying a PS3 isn't worth it right now. Wait for PS3 Slim to be released the first week of Sept. Bigger hard drive too.
Because those Slim PS2s were so much more reliable than original PS2s.
The existing PS3 hard drives are already big enough for most people, I don't know anyone with a PS3 who's filled their hard drive. If there's a good deal on the "fat" PS3, there's no reason to skip over a good PS3 deal if someone wants one now, unless someone doesn't have physical space to keep a "fat" PS3.
Zach is right. Wait for the slim. Smaller foot print, bigger hard drive, and for the same price ($299) as the "old" 80GB PS3. Only thing you loose is ability to load Linux OS and reverse playback of PS2 games, but only the much older PS3's were able to do that anyway from what I've heard.

I was wondering if they're still gonna allow you to swap out HDDs.
This is a thread about this specific PS3 Deal. If you want to discuss the advantagesdisadvantages of the PS3 Slim which btw has no official Sony specs released despite all the rumored specs then do it in the current FW PS3 Slim thread. There are strong opinons on each side. Irregardless of your opinion either way you can't disregard Sony's long history of quality issues in their later gen "economy" gaming consoles as being a factor in your decision of "Phat" vs Slim.

lol you scold people to go and post in the PS3 Slim thread if they want to compare the two, and then you follow it up by pointing out issues to influence someone's decision on which one to buy.

I didn't know Sony had quality issues with consoles. I thought that was Microsoft's issue (overheating XBOX 360, the recall).

LOL you are kidding right? I don't know of anyone who has not exceeded the original capacity of their PS3 at least 2-3 times. Most I know are already near the 460GB formatted limit of their "upgraded" 500GB PS3 laptop drives. If you are still using the original PS3 drive then you are certainly not realizing the potential of your PS3 as a Media Center or Media Server. Now that Phat PS3 compatiable 1TB internal laptop drives are out I am sure the PS3 capacity limitations will ease for the moment.

For you an others than lack basic reading comprehension I did not point out ANY issues HERE specific to one console version or the other. I only mentioned that ALL Sony economy gaming consoles have well known issues than can't be denied and are easily verified ny a siimple Internet search. How exactly is that biasing one console version over the other version Mr "Expert".

PS2 compatibilty is relevant to whether or not this is a deal; last time i checked you werent a mod either.
cnIsfg said:For you an others than lack basic reading comprehension - thats rich! Try reading the first page, i mentioned nothing about quality issues, the deal was crapped purely because the slim is coming out, i merely stated that i didnt know if the slim could handle ps2 and then it was posted that the 80gb couldnt, that is not the case, the 40 and 160 cant, the 60 has hardware and the 80 emulation.
Sadly youve continued to add nothing to the thread (go talk about media center in off topic) but your opinion so why dont you lay off the stone throwing over there in your glass house.

While I agree with most of what you said - including the "you are kidding" part, I fail to see the need to store almost any of my media there since my PlayOn server handles everything quite well - negating the need for local storage. True it does cost a little bit of money, but is well worth it. Still, my 320GB drive has about 100GB worth of data on it right now - and maybe 10GB is media.
Regardless, the only question I would have about the slim is the capability to swap drives.
Everyone whining about PS2 capability being a deal breaker - you are not the audience Sony is targeting anyway. God of War 3 is coming soon enough....for that matter, I am still upset there is no DOS mode in Vista.
