While I think the new model does look good (better than the fat, and the 360 IMO ), I must agree with the sad news of the losses and am glad I've got a early model too.
HOWEVER, not many used the Linux option afaik, and the loss of the card reader and ports can be compensated for by USB hubs and USB multi-card readers anyway so not too great a loss. Also, I wouldn't feel bad if I had to buy another PS3 for whatever reason and could only get the slim. Mostly, I'd miss the partial PS2 compatibility, but I must learn that those games are in the past and that I should move boldly into the FUTUR3.
