The only way it'll be cheaper than a slim is if you find it used.

Ouch... $339 Euros... that's pricey. I got my PS3 at Cambie Bestbuy for $274.99, got them to honor the online pricing (spoke with the manager). For the extra $, I'm still ahead, if I were to buy any of those "package" options separately.

Europe always get screwed over when it comes to pricing. They always get their stuff last too.

I don't know but its going to me a moot point soon if you are buying brand new, considering the Fats will be harder and harder to find.

True enough, I'm guessing they're fairly solid inside as Sony would be unlikely to replace a solid machine with one that is junk, especially when it's kind of an optional idea.

i've been playing around with slim for about a month now and I'm wondering why graphics doesn't look as good as I thought it would be
there seems to be absolutely zero anti aliasing
I thought console games look just as good, if not better than pc games?

running on sammy 40inch 1080p btw

Waiting on this guy in surrey to fix it for me for $120. he said if it craps out again anytime within 3 months he''ll fix it for free and if it craps out a 2nd time after the fix then he'll give me a used 60 gig to replace it. Gotta wait till next tuesday when he's free but he's only 5 mins away from me

Is your PS3 hooked up directly to your TV via an HDMI connection? Is 1080P selected as a video resolution on the PS3? If everything's fine on the PS3, then it's your TV (i.e. it does a poor job of displaying 1080P content.)

I don't really see jagged edges in mine UNLESS i take a magnifying glass or something up against it. Blu-Ray looks amazing too... Planet Earth (the BBC one) was freaking insane. And I'm just waiting for Star Trek Blu-Ray to come out so I can watch it once a week =D=D
