I also had a few reviews of movies, but I seem to have deleted them already. -___- I hope you guys like it! 

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I'm not talking about sweat though; even I get sweaty hands especially with the PSP's circle pad thing. Sweat sort of dries up and is easy to get off, but oil/grease/muck just spreads over the whole thing when you try to wipe it. Glad I'm not the only one.

Oh, and that guy who posted previously has a hilarious signature. DeadMan, mind if I share it?

..other people use their electronics without either washing/wiping their hands, and when you get a hold of them, they're greasy? I find myself wiping like crazy when that happens to, say, my PSP.

I know that the X and O buttons switch functions in the XMB, but does it carry over to the games? Also, are there any significant differences between a Region 1/US PS3 from a Region 3/Asian version?

I was thinking of switching over from a fat to a slim, but I want to still get a US version, but that's a rare case here.

I guess I have to put it out there though. My biggest concern is the fan noise; having it make such a loud noise is worrisome to me, and it might be an indicator that I might break the system. It's the Philippines, so it's almost always hot here, so I was wondering if I could remedy that and prevent any untoward incidents by switching over to the slim.

Second to that would be the lack of USB ports, but that can be remedied with a multi-slot adapter or something.

Third would be the backwards compatibility, but I only really want to keep one game, and I think I have a working copy for our PS2 anyway, so..

I've gotten over the PS2 BC, I don't really use the card reader slots, but the presence of more USB ports is a plus..

It's not the cost I'm after though because if I sell my PS3 at the price I'm thinking, I need to add less for a slim than what I would a new harddrive.

I'm still not convinced over the fan noise though. What's the record loudest fan noise the slim can make? Mine's pretty loud when I play more recent games..

You have a 60GB model PS3 and you want to switch to a slim. I personally wouldn't make that move. If its disk space you want you can always install a larger drive.

The thing I'm especially wary about is the fan noise. I don't usually play on blasting volumes, and it's quite near, and it gets really loud when the weather's hot (which is almost everyday.)

The hard drive thing I could try, but it's a big hassle for me, really. I don't even know what hard drive to buy and how much hahah. Is there a limit to how much space is good to upgrade to? What's a good size?
