I was thinking about giving my folks my Blu-ray player and getting this.

BUT some idiot put a top loading disk on top and that will not work at all for me. Really, really lousy design. Seriously? Why, why would you not have slot loading?

It's too bad, because I think it's the best looking PS3. Ah well, I can save money anyway, and get my folks an inexpensive Blu-ray player.

people keep saying this but o just don't get it. How significant is a disc tray? Unless you constantly change discs, then the difference between the loading systems are virtually nonexistent. So you'll go through a few seconds of annoyance when exchanging discs; is that really a big deal?

It's a big enough deal that I will probably pass on it while I live in my current envornment. It means I have no place to put it.

Being non fuctional is a big deal.  Even the old inexpesnive Wii has a slot loader - it seems like a very silly move on Sony's part.  I realize it will not effect everyone, but why risk losing a significant portion of your target audience. 

While I like the idea of digital downloads - when you can get a disk game for 10% of the price, it's hard to ignore the value.
