I like it. I really like it. It reminds me of the first PSX, and I remember plugging a gameshark gadget (in the back) that would let me play Japanese titles/burned titles. I feel a bit of nostalgia by look at it, and I honestly don't see why people are complaining about its looks. (Remember this is just my opinion, I ask that no one try to change my mind; it's pretty much set) I like to lay my sytems flat with plenty of space all around; laying them vertically makes me feel like it places more of a burden on the lazer and spindel--of the disk drive. I can't prove this, but my system has been abuse quite a lot in these past 5 years and the drive is still going. ^_^
The only thing that worries me is how loud the disk drive sounds. I bought the 320gb slim for the living room and I find the disk seeking is way louder than my original launch version that's in room.
