So far they haven't really been out long enough for anyone to know. I own one and I have plenty of friends who own one as well. It doesn't heat up like the older models andit runs better. So far there hasn't been any widespread or big complaints on them and they've been out for a few months. I would say go for it.Thereare also supposed to be much, much less prone to the YLOD (Yellow Light of Death) that some of the earlier models succumb to.

There's a recommendation thread if you're looking for a game so you might want to check that out.

Well i got my 120GB roughly about 2 months ago,and i've previously had the 60GB and 80GB Phat models,but i prefer my Slim more now than them 2.

The only thing i would say,is that you get a lot of strange and sometimes very loud clicking sounds from the slims casing when it starts to warm up,apparently very normal though and you soon get used to it.

SLIMS are better, at least from the time they've been released I haven't heard of one issue. I got the slim and love it. I actually don't wanna sell it like I did my previous PS3 fat versions. Something about the SLIMS that makes you feel at peace..oh yeah their crazy quiet too.

They seem to be really well built, but if you can pick up an extended warranty for a few bucks I'd say get it. Like someone else said the Slims haven't been out long enough to really know how they will act long term.

Everyone that I know that has a Slim has never had a problem except one person who had a bad power supply right out of the box, but that kind of stuff is going to happen with any electronics. So basically go for it, owning both the PS3 and the other HD console is great.

Except on the wallet, so many games to play.

PS3 is MUCH more reliable than the 360, but that's not to say they're not bulletproof. I've had no problems with my launch 60GB system, so take that as you will.

Dude I hate to sound pessimistic, but it's an electronic device...nobody can promise you anything. Just make sure you get a warranty with it,that's the only thing I can see that will give you SOME peace of mind.

Agreed, I own both as well....even though I had replace both of them recently. I'm not angry...both systems where over 3yrs old.:)
