I wish I could trade in my existing PS3 for a slim, the current one is like a mini tower. |

My only concern with the slim is I have not seen if you can change the HDD yourself, or at least easily like the current one. 34% less power usage would be nice, but no backward PS2 compatability and I have a few SACDs, so I need to keep at least one of my 60GB units. --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein |

Oh yeah, I'm happy I bought a PS3 while they still had PS2 compatibility. Especially since I gave my old PS2 (not a slim either) to my bro-in-law. |

Sometimes, I have a few favorites like the Jak and Daxter series, God of War, Sly Cooper. I wish there was an option to make them letter box dimensions though to fully fit my TV screen. |

You can swap the hard drive easily with the Slim. Heres the review with photos of the HDD swap... http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/27/p...3-slim-review/ |

Several sites are posting power usage comparisons too and the slimmer model is more efficient --------------------------- Sony|SonyIR|Sony NEX|Minolta Film|Polaroid If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine "No one cares how hard you worked...but they will notice if you didn't work hard enough." -Ctein | |
