Slim obviously. My fat looks like a crime against design.

If I didn't have the "fat", I would have bought the Slim. But I had to have the White ps3.

I bought the fat because I liked the finish on it.

I've owned a fat since launchandgota slim, and both are good. The slim looks much nicer than people make it out to be. Everyone says it looks cheap, but I can tell you it does not. And the push buttons are not crappy ether. Overall I'd say go for the slim, but if you want to save soem $$$ then the fat is perfect. Also I've noticed the slim gets hotter faster than the fat.

the Slim looks horribly cheap, but the fat just looks ugly from every angle so Slim it is ;)

slim looks reserved and elegant whereas the fat looks like it's trying to make up for something and is overly flashy on top

I think the slim is probably the better choice. Still, you cannot deny the curves of the original.

Slim. It's smaller, lighter, uses less power, and aside from that it's the same thing as a fat just with a bigger hard drive. However if you can find a 20, 60, or 80 gig (BC) model, that's worth it in its own right (although I'd still prefer slim).
