My PS3 broke - should I wait for the slim now?

@tedster & pullus pardus

oh I got it in UK on the MGS4 launch, but never played a ps2 or ps1 game

ps2 & ps1 are in my bedroom

while PS3 is downstairs

so BC doesn't matter at all

Will the slim cost less? if it does I might even make a profit through selling this PS3 now
