 So here's the bad...Nov 19, 2009
Plenty of reviews here talk about the technological prowess of the PS3 and how it's better than its competitors' systems but few reviews focus on the frustrations that accompany purchase. So this 40+ year old, long-time gamer will with laser-like accuracy illuminate the bad.
* The physical design of the PS3 slim is only partially desirable. While smaller footprints are good, who at Sony thinks a convex (surface rounds out)
case top is a good idea? It isn't. Most of us put these machines in our audio visual cabinet with all our other components (including
my old PS2 which I had to keep thanks to the PS3's lack of backwards compatibility) and this unit has to be on top of any stack. Also, you
can't rest anything on top of it (like controllers) after it's turned off because they slide right off. Mo' headaches.
* The PS3 comes with an A/V composite cable!? Yes, this technological wonder of a system comes with a cable to connect to TV's from the 1980's. That's
a yellow/red/white pin cable in case I'm not clear. That will get you a 480i signal. Which means you have to buy either a Component cable (5 pins) or an
HDMI cable yourself in order to get an HD signal. Mo' money.
* The PS3 is touted as a wonderful blu-ray player and should be the consumers' choice for getting the best that a BD can offer. That might be the case but it would help if there was a remote control included. Mo' money.
* The PS3 tries to be a bit of a green machine and it's controller is rechargable. But the USB/USB-mini cable that connects the wireless, rechargable controller to the system is about 4.5 feet long. How many people sit 4.5 feet from their TV?! Not many, I'll tell you. That means you'll need to go out and buy yet another (longer) replacement cable in order to play games while the controller is recharging. Mo' money.
* The PS3 software library is so-so as most people are aware of. The PS3 game prices aren't so-so. They are so-expensive. Most people thought PC games were expensive in comparison to game system software but the PS3 broke down that barrier. Most new titles are $10-20 more expensive on the PS3 as compared to the same title for a PC. Mo' money.
* The PS3 (like all current game systems) tout multiplayer and yet they provide you with one controller which isn't family friendly. Mo' money
* And 2 USB ports really aren't enough but mo' money won't solve that problem unless a USB hub is workable (and I haven't tried that).
So in conclusion, buy your PS3 slim and make sure you put aside mo' money.

unsealed box before my purchaseNov 17, 2009
The product is great, nothing to complain about. But I was disappointed by how Amazon treated my particular PS3 box.
The tape sealing the cover of PS3 box is severely damaged when I received my package, and looked like it had been ripped off before and stuck back.
The quick start manual inside was not bagged, looked like it was unfolded before and used. I watched a video of people sharing their newly purchased PS3s, everything in the box should be packaged in a plastic bag. Obviously that was not my case.
Although the PS3 itself seemed new, but I strongly suspect that my box had been opened before my purchase, which really worsened my shopping experience. Be aware!!
 Great SystemNov 17, 2009
The PS3 Slim is perfect. Aside from backwards compatibility with the older systems games(PS1/PS2) being missing. This game system is an amazing amount of features for the amount of money you pay for it. Might actually compete with xbox now.

a play stationNov 16, 2009
I finally got my hands on these, they look like the ps2, all in all its good, got nothing to complain about. The graphics sometimes make me feel dizzy, but I guess that's just me. I think I'm getting to old for gaming
I love my PS3 slim...Nov 15, 2009
This is the power I was needing in a console. The PS3 slim rock... the only thing I'll say there is not a bit of negative in this product buy it right now...
