Finally a price drop.  The design looks OK. The on/off button and eject button really stand out now it's white. And the PS3 logo on top looks a bit cheap. If I had to choose I'd still pick my old PS3, I like 'm big if you now what I'm saying. |

I dislike the new design. In fact, I still believe that Generation 1 60GB version is the best one. Since then they've chopped it appart, piece by piece to drop the price. The newer versions are lame. And in apperance the new Slim looks cheesy. The original design is so... "futuristic". You know? I love the original eject and power buttons, though they're not really buttons. The ones are just kinda... lame.
I'll stick with the original version. IMO still the best one.

Big f...ckin surprise. Not really since info and pics on it were leaked MONTHS ago. Anyhoo, how do you go from slick & black to... whatever the hell that is? It even has buttons, lol, like if it's a child toy. Also, wtf kinda argument is "It's $299"? Regular PS3s are now $299 from this day forth. so what's your point, Sony? And there's no new features. Nothing. Firmware 3.0 will be available for all PS3 models. No backwards compatibility either. They did take out the ability to install Linux on it, good job there Sony!
No f...ckin thanks, i'll stick with my george foreman grill!

I bought the original PS3 for MGS4 to experience the end of the SAGA. And I got that. So now Sony can do whatever they want, I'm not giving them my money. lol
