PS3 Slim deal !!!!
 
Hey Guys,


Mod, you could move this into computer and gaming section : )

i did a quick search in the ps3 thread and does not look like the information is out there... so i decided to post here. It is a good news for current PS3 owner and would like to own the slim version.


My friend went to the EB by the Queensborough bridge and found out you can bring in your old fat PS3 + 2 game and $49.99 for a slim version .

Source is 99% confirmed, better act on it ASAP.


Cheers !!!!!

CRS 08-26-2009 07:45 AM

So what makes the slim version better than the fat?

some love the new look, 120gb and of course the slim down body.. lol

it really depends on each individual... my friend saw the display at EB and he is loving it.. He didn't feel like buying one when he saw it on the net and youtube...

i dont know sir... im just throwing out the info

give them a call maybe ? :)

murd0c 08-26-2009 08:19 AM

Going to go to eb at lunch and get details on it. The question I have is there a way to
Save game data so I don't lose everything?

SkinnyPupp 08-26-2009 08:24 AM

If you give up your 60, 20, or even first-gen 80GB for one of these, you are an idiot.

murd0c 08-26-2009 08:29 AM

What's the difference? I'm just worried with mine cause it has crashed once already
And I don't want to be out a ps3.

hk20000 08-26-2009 08:31 AM

how do I copy all my save files from my current one and transfer to the new one??

SkinnyPupp 08-26-2009 08:33 AM

If you want to know the differences of all the models, see this PS3 comparison guide

Basically, the newer the model, the less features it has.

exactly what he said,

how much did you guys pay for your fat PS3? $399+?

The new one is for sale $299 right now at Best Buy.

So you want to trade in your more expensive one with money on top for something cheaper? You are going to make EB very happy.

Im assuming EB will have a massive 2nd hand fat ps3 to sell in the near future @ 100 bucks ?

unit 08-26-2009 08:39 AM

think its a good deal since i have a 40GB?

also wondering how you backup your saves

unit 08-26-2009 08:40 AM

nothing is special or better about the new version other then it's slimmer

not worth the hassle

Kaiten 08-26-2009 09:26 AM

Also the slim isn't backwards compatible, although that probably doesn't matter to most. but still, like others have mentioned it has less features.

Don't worry brothers. We're still far more superior than the new guys. ;)
