I don't get the big deal about lack of PS2 b/c on PS3. I have a PS2 slim for that. Cheap and very small (unlike PS2). you could probably get them for less than of a full price retail game by now



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

I don't play ps2 games anymore.

thats my answer



I have a 320gb white slim. Looks really sexy. Best of the 3 IMO



The regular slim.

It's plenty small enough, way quieter than the phat, and still has a slot-loading disc drive (as opposed to its 'snappy' successor). I also think it looks the best out of all 3, especially with no fingerprints all over it or a corregated dust-catcher.



Super slim, just so fucking sexy!

I'm actually really surprised at how even the poll is right now. For me though, its the Slim PS3, it's my current PS3 and its quite, lighter and smaller than the phat model, so its an easy choice there (I even prefer it in looks now! :O).

I'll need to see the super slim PS3 in real life to make a call on weather I can put up with the visuals or not, I'm on the fence right now.



The new one is just bad, but hey it's a matter of taste. I don't own a single PS2 game, so yup Regular Slim for me, and that's the one I own 'yay' :)



The new slim looks better in my opinion. Viewing the system from the front (because that's often the most viewed angle) it is very nice looking. It is flush from left to right since it doesn't have the cut in where the older models have the disk drive. The grooves are reminiscent of the PS2 and provide an aesthetically divide on the top instead of one solid swath like on the other models. The size is most definitively a bonus for the device the others do not have and it most likely is using less power and runs quieter (unless reading a disk). The sliding mechanism is a welcome decision as opposed to the pop top in the PS2 slim, it works as I would expect and I feel you can't beat the mechanical process of switching disks if you have ever experienced waiting for disk to pop out that is stalling. Standing up it apparently opens up even smoother than lying down, which is fine by me considering how nice it looks standing up. Again I mention it's view front the front, hell, even from the side it has a nice oval appearance moreso than the others.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Eww indeed Who the heck thought of that genious new disk drive? *facepalm*

I would've loved to see one that looks like the fat, just smaller.



i like the fat b/c of the amount of features and overall look the newer slim slim comes in second as it looks closer to the fat and is a true slim console the older slim i dont like the look shape and finish of at all

if the newer slim slim had ps2 B/C and slot loading disk it would be 1st, i dislike the sliding method only b/c its old tech not the look and sound it makes as many of said
