still got my launch 60GB w/ b/c so if anything, i’ll be looking for a cheap new HDD with more gigs

meh no thanks. think I’d rather buy one for 300 and head to newegg for a 500GB. course I already have a 500 but if I was buying a new PS3 I would highly reccomend this option instead

Well, I was already planning on waiting until after the holiday to mostl likely get a PS3 anyway. Now Sony gave me something else to think about….

Sony PS3 Slim $300

500 gig hdd 89. both for 390.00

@ray
thank youuuuuu

Yeah if i didn’t have a PS3 already i would get it but the cheaper way to go is to get a HDD on your own and swap it out yourself. This is one of the reasons i prefer my PS3 over my xbox 20GB, upgrading memory much cheaper and you get more than 120GB.

Well I’ve got the 120G HD on my 360 and I’m no where near to filling it up. So I’m not sure that I’d NEED 250G…..but For only $50 more I could certainly justify it.

@Tokz, As a person who uses my PS3 as a home media center I do agree. I have a lot of TV shows, movies and music on my computer so I like the idea of copying those files to my PS3. I can stream them to the 360/PS3 with Rivet on my mac which works pretty well actually.

yeah but until i can play the music i throw onto my HDD in game, i wont bother messing with my 60GB but i guess at least its and option =/

I think this is great news however, It should mean that Xbox needs to get there 250 gig to a mass market sooner than later. I don’t care for the COD bundle but I do want that drive

Also it will hopefully make MS rethink pricing for their HDD. I like that sony isn’t gouging on the added HDD

see cornflake my computer is upstairs and my TV is on the main floor with an excellent sound system so I use my 360 and PS3 to stream from my Mac upstairs when I want to jam out. it’s pretty awesome actually. but doesn’t require a huge HDD. streaming is a little more annoying with video, it can sometimes slow down and fast forward and rewind are a total hassle

when it comes to sharing content on my home network, well, it doesnt happen.. since i’m still at my parent’s place, i probably wont put in the effort to figuring it out until i know it will be a permanent setup i.e. my own place.

Wow, that front veiw of the Slim makes it look cheaply made.

I hear you there cornflake. We’ve all been there before.

@ sandrock the matte is not as fancy as the shiny but I’m sure it’s not cheaply put together

@ray
i know i sound like a pain in the arss but could you make one of the other two tabs the first/open/one that’ll show? the category one seems more vague.. my honest intentions are to help make your site more accessible. its all about feng shui lol sorry 0=)

Don’t worry, Mr. Padilla, everytime I come on this site, I click a few advertising links. It’s the least I can do. Hey, who knows, maybe one day I’ll hit a link that will take me to a gently used 60gb PS3 (fat) with a price I can’t say no to.

-M

whoa, i used it three times and didn’t even notice you made the change! awesome!

I like it Ray, I prefer that to the categories because I like to know where comments are being made. it’s nice to have the others available though

indeed indeed

How does the Slim cool itself? I looked at a display unit last night and didn’t see any vents. Is the AC adapter external? Whoever has one, give me the info!

it has a big ass 19 spoke/bladed fan that runs uber quiet and consumes less energy than its fat ass brother. i think the AC adapter is still internal though

I saw no vent holes on the machine. Just wondering. Unless some of the back of the machine is aluminum and therefore a heatsink.

@Smartguy

They’re there.

i am writing this comment as i am taking a crap.

if i didn’t own a limited edition MGS4 B/C 80 gb ps3 bundle…i would totally buy this…i have 30+ games for my ps3, and my hard drive is still kicking.

nice

I’m gonna be buying this one for my house back home in Orlando, for movies when I come home to visit.
