Just stick with the fat , the only thing that slim has to offer is size and since ps3 is not use so much outside of the house
Honestly i've found that the fat ones ps2 especially don't break that easily as the thin ones

What about the laser? Is it true it breaks down really fast?
Probably . Iam very satisfied with my 'fat' ps2 , i've been using it for over 8-10 years and everything works fine with the chip for copies
I have PS2 "slim" and it worked fine for years (using Swap Magic DVD for backups), but now the laser is slowly starting to die!
i still maintain to this day that sony's ps1 and ps2 lasers were bought in bulk from some junk dealer in china for $1 per million.
i used to chip and repair both consoles, and the lasers are by far the worst components in them.
if your original (fat) ps2 lasers are still working fine, chances are you've been playing mostly dvd based games - it's the cd reading that used to screw up the ps2 lasers, leaving them 'one eyed' (able to read dvds and not cds). using official discs of course extends the length of laser life (as does using quality media for your 'backups').
the other laser killer for ps1/ps2s is games that heavily stream data - gta etc. if your machine sounds like it's working hard, it probably is...

I still enjoy the old school PS1 and PS2 games on emulator. Have always been a Sony fan, but I've since learned to enjoy what's available and what's fun to play. There are a few good games on the 360 I would really like to play. Basically I'm open to both consoles regardless if one or the other is better.
xbox 360, only because I have one. And that's only because my friends had one...
(i.e. it really doesn't matter)
ps3 owns all the consoles! has the best graphics, free online connection and the best games :)
Is it true that Sony lowered the price for PS3?
yes...here 15% discount on all ps3 model..

And what's the price there?
and you get hacked and loose your credit card info for free. i think i rather pay the small fee microsoft asks and receive a garantueed quality of service and most importantly, not loose my credit card data to hackers.Originally Posted by swagboy
let's also not forget to mention a big selling point in the beginning was the ability to run linux on it without voiding waranty... Something they took away after a while... For me that's another big point why i wouldn't want to get one. Just for the principle of it
The best games is something I would say is highly overrated. There are only a few games that are ps3-only and maybe half of them are worthy of giving my attention to. All the other games are playable on other consoles or pcs as well. Let's also not forget there are quite a few xbox only titles that are worthy of getting. Gears of war, halo and so on... Hate to break it to you, but if you want all the best games, you'll have to get at least 3 consoles and a gaming computer.
off topic: i feel like these sort of threads are like honey for newfags that are posting to get their count up. Anyone else get this feeling?

Yep the PSN debacle was something that should put off a lot of smart gamers wanting to buy a PS3. But as usual people don't do what you'd expect. I guess the PS hype hasn't run out yet, and despite the fact that the 360 has lower quality graphics I would still buy it especially for the controllers which I think are the best consumer gamepads I've ever played with.
Ooh .. and for the Xbox360 only games also
Agreed, they're at least 10 times better than the ps3 controllers. The motion control in them doesn't do anything for me and the weight on the xbox' controllers is far better (ps3 feels like a hollow piece of plastic). I've come to use them on my pc as well with the wireless connector I bought. Pretty awesome..
PS3 all the way, better graphics and better games and also hackeable if u dont care about the PSN
