With the PS2s, the fat ones lasted, like, forever(Mine's been working for 8 years), but the slims had many overheating problems and didn't last as long. This will most likely happen with the PS3. I think we should wait for some long-term reviews before getting a slim.
as for the PS3 slim, i like the redesign, i may actually save up for one
Thats funny. I'm like the exact opposite. i got the fat one which lasted me maybe 2 years and suddenly stopped working for me. then i got the slim around the time it came out and its lasted me since.
as for the PS3 slim, i like the redesign and with the price drop, i may actually save up for one....if it functions good
Cinder, You wouldn't be able to sell your PS3 for 299, since it's used you would have to sell it for less. Which means you have to spend money :<
