I like that they now have actual buttons for power and eject, but otherwise I like the normal PS3 just fine.  Hopefully the price drop will bring more owners and games to the PS3.

I also think this means that HD-DVD might not be able to win after all.

And astonishingly, they've given it a price tag that doesn't make me want to shove red hot glass up Kaz Hirai's bottom.

Damn you Joe!! Read this when I was having my first cup of coffee, and spit on myself I laughed so hard!!!

Most wanted games:

Mass Effect
Assasins Creed
Crysis
Little Big Planet
Drakes Fortune
UTIII
Kane and Lynch
Heavy Rain
Alan Wake

I wish they would call it something else. It's hardly slim, the damn things almost as big as the 360. I prefer the sleeker fatty PS3.

Yea not so slim (not as impressively compact as the PStwo) and still too pricey imo.  Would prefer to buy one at sub £200.
