I greatly prefer the fat PS3's to the slims, especially the newest slim. The only people I know that have had issues are slim owners. Everyone I know who has a fat has had them going strong for 5+ years. Here are my top 10 games last gen:
1. Mass Effect 2 - Best story and characters in all of gaming in 7th Gen.
2. Battlefield Bad Company 2 - Most addictive competitive multiplayer of 7th Gen. Vietnam is the best DLC piece made over the entire gen that I played.
3. Borderlands 2 - Great art style, excellent villains, extremely addicting loot and leveling system. Improvement on 1st game in almost every way which seemed impossible prior to it releasing.
4. Red Dead Redemption - One of the best stories of the entire Gen. Undead Nightmare which is my favorite part is the 3rd best DLC made during the Gen.
5. The Last of Us - Great story. Amazing sense of dread and the human condition conveyed in a way very few games have achieved.
6. Uncharted 2 - The best set pieces in the gen.
7. Killzone 2 - 2nd best multiplayer of the gen. Example of extremely well programmed A.I.
8. Gravity Rush - Best handheld game of last gen that I played. One of the best new characters and New IP's as well. Very addictive speed sections I'm not 100% sure this counts as last gen? I am not really comparing it to any 3DS games...
9. Portal 2 - Most addictive puzzle game of the gen,
10. Trials Evolution - Best downloadable game and prob the best MS exclusive of the gen.
