|  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 !!!!!

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

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.

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.

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.
