i don't really like the look of the new ps3 but hmm...at $299 i'm thinking of buying the new slim ps3 and putting it in my room so I don't have to go all the way downstairs to play it haha. such a hassle to carry that huge thing up and down the stairs and plugging everything in and out.

No regrets about buying the 60 gig. I'm not even considering buying the slim because its "cool". I would only buy the slim if I never purchased a ps3. I have a ton of ps2 games so backwards compatability was a big reason why I got the 60 gig.

slim cuz of the higher resale value. Seriously, in 3-4 years, the PS3 wil become obsolete, so why get one that will dimish in value more.
Just like why would u get a pre-facelift model when u can get a facelift model at the same price.

^resell value doesn't matter when the price mark for PS3 hits 299.
At BEST you can get another $10 when you are selling the console 3 years down the road.

Sony isnt gonna make another console for atleast 5 years and you wont be able to make that much more off it. I'de say $50 max. Plus I don't plan on selling mine.

Do you guys think the slim will sell out fast? Like the Wii shortage in the past?

Now my 40G is louder than my refurb 360 from 07 5 mins into BD movie watching.
