With this newest edition to the PS3 lineup, the "Slim" was definitely worth waiting for over the original console. Much in the same way as Playstation 2, Sony reduced the size, made it more energy efficient (read: less heat) and quieter. Also, its important to mention that, as with the PS2, the first generation of consoles are usually plagued by initial quality issues, mostly with the operation of the system. Such is the case with the PS3 as well. I decided to wait for the Slim because I knew they needed to time to work the bugs out, and I've always enjoyed the smaller, redesigned 2nd generation Playstation systems. My friends who own the 1st gen PS3 consoles have all had issues with theirs, one of whom has already replaced his 3 times! So for me, the PS3 Slim is a better buy. The Slim no longer has a multi card reader, PS1/2 playback, and 2 less USB ports. In my opinion, no big deal. What you do get in return is much better in the end. Blu-Ray playback is excellent, with decent load times. DVD playback is also great, as the PS3 upscales the image to near-HD resolution, breathing new life into your existing DVD library. This is great for movies/documentaries that are not available on Blu-Ray disc. The Playstation network is really cool, allowing you to connect with friends online, play them, as well as others in your favorite games. The PS3 is a multimedia powerhouse, everything you need in one small, efficient, attractive package. With this system, your home theater is a snap. Next generation HD gaming, online capability, Blu-Ray disc and DVD playback, and an upgradeable HDD to store games, pictures, music, video, etc. What's not to love? All you need is an HDTV, a PS3 Slim, an HDMI cable, and a 5.1/7.1/soundbar home theater system and your all set!
