Whats the Deal with the PS3 Slim?

Someone said that they are discontinuing it and coming out with some better model, and then someone said that it Overheats and breaks. Someone else said that compared to the Big PS3 it doesnt stack up! i was looking into buying one and now the big PS3 is almost unfindable ( Except Ebay which i dont want to do ) and the Slim is bad....... What can i do?

So who says the Slim is bad?

You need to come to the Laid Back Lounge. There people will tell you the truth. :D

Someone told me overheats and breaks easily :cry:EpiphoneMan2008

Well, you should ask the people who have PS3 Slims.

Namely, people here.

How am i supposed to know if they do or not? ^^EpiphoneMan2008

I have had no problems with my Slim. Not one. Everything works great and it's amazing.

Yeah I don't think sony would do that. First off, from a business standpoint, they have spent way too much money on research and development to simply discontinue it only two months after its been on the market. Secondly, the reduced price has increased the sales for the system, and i don't believe they'd discontinue something which is helping their business.

Finally, from a personal standpoint, I got my PS3 Slim a week after launch day. It's been on an average of three to four hours a day and i have yet to have any problems with it (knock on wood)

Whoever told you this does not know what they are talking about. I have 3 PS3s. I have 2 launch fats and one slim. I have not had any problems with them. I got the slim and I have ran if hard ever since I got uncharted 2, and I am talking about 8 hour straight play throughs on normal, hard and crushing. Recently I have been playing Call of Duty 4 online.

The slim is dead quiet and it loads games faster than the fat ps3. I only gets warm in the back. My 60GB ps3 is in my living room and I use it when watching blu ray movies and sometimes when I wanna game with my wife. My 80 GB fat is in my bed room for when I wanna watch movies or play games there. I have NOT had any issues with either one of them. The slim does the same thing the fat does but it looks better.

I have had a lot of problems with my slim 120GB, I mean I love it (when it isn't giving me problems) but I've only had it for 3 months and it's given me more problems than my Xbox 360 did for the 3-4 years I had it up until it just randomly decided to self-destruct in the form of the RROD.
