Not a xbox v ps3 thread. Already decided on the ps3 strictly for the blue-ray capability. But I'm a PC guy, and don't really know squat about consoles. The gaming side of the ps3 is for the kids/grandkids, the blue-ray is for me.
My question is this: Is there any reason NOT to get the new slim model? I've read the wiki page... smaller die, less power, less heat, etc. Is there anything functionally that has changed tho? I read about no linux on the slim, no biggie. How about ps2 games? Do I recall correctly that the ps3 plays ps2 games? Does the slim still do that? I've heard about the new motion control stuff they're finalizing (ala Wii), and I assume that would surely work with the slim. Are the media center type functions the same in the slim? Basically, other than saving $100 (which I guess is moot now too since I've been seeing non-slims at the new price), is buying the slim a win-win?
Thanks
