| L.C.E.C. said: Is this a sarcastic post aimed at my thread? Anyway, I like the look of the old PS3, but the only real benefit would be AFTER the slim has launched and they start selling it for >$300, like $250, or even $200 to get rid of stock. THAT would be the best deal.  The only real technological superiority the Phat has to the slim is the ability to use alternative OS's, that is has nice touch-sensitive buttons (My bro REALLY likes those), and that it is glossier and shinier (I like that but my brother hates it 'cuz it get fingerprints all over it). If I could get a Phat for $250 and I wanted one (Didn't have one already), I'd totally go for it. |
How bout the fact that the new 80gb phats have been completely proven to be very reliable, and the slims haven't.
There are too many factors to be able to know much about the slim just yet. Since we don't know much about it, I wouldn't recommend it. We know everything about the phat, and most of the people posting against me in this thread, LOVE their phat, they just want the slim to be better, when it isn't. Not really. It's not an all around improvement like the PS2 slim was(no more dre, new static disc drive, ect. It's the same hardware, with no upgrades, a bigger HD, and a smaller size. We don't know enough to classify it as dependable or crap, so if you buy one, you roll the dice to a certain extent.
With the phat, you know what you're getting. Excellent, equal product at a great price.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
