Yep, mine looks a LOT BETTER than the new one.

The thing is, first SONY tried do sell a high quality product with high quality design looks, techs, etc. The price was high but they still sell it. They were trying to reach consumers by appealing them with high tech.

Now I don't really see what are they trying to do. They want to appeal to who know? If people want a cheap console they still have the Wii and the 360, if people want to buy a "pirate" they still have the Wii and the 360. But if people want to buy a sexy high tech machine they no longer have the "old" PS3.

I'm curious to see how this move is going to influence sales. But it sure doesn't look appealing like in the past.

The title should have been " the ps3 slim is ugly compared to the stylishly jaw dropping phat"

The slim looks better from the front, but I would still take the phat. My main problem with the slim is actually the lack of a rotating PS logo

I think the logo still rotates... I mean it did still on the Slim PS2 didn't it? So wouldn't imagine that would change in this model, it is just white instead of nice and colourful now lol

No, I watched a 1up video, and they confirmed it did not rotate

It is clear this is about cost cutting, stuff like the fact that eject and power up are buttons, not touch sensitive, and it is more like cheap plastic than the more shiny phat

Quoted for the truth.

Like I said, I'm glad I have the old model.

Anyways, it's nice to see people saying that the slim model is way preatier than the "fat and old" first PS3 model. Some days ago the first model was the best thing EVER made.

Now it's fat and old and.....

Talk about fanboys.....

Hi guys

I'm sad..... The new PS3 is way UGLIER than the old one.... I'm GLAD I have the first model.

OLD:

NEW:

It looks like a "Chinese" console or something...... What's your opinion?

Racist? O.o, sounds like what my dad would say when he's drunk or something... (remembers my dad talking shit about Koreans in the middle of NYC... *facepalm*)

Cheap should look cheap... It looks like they're getting the image of the PS2. Even the logo is the same as the PS2.

Damnit people stop calling the current ps3 the ps3 phat. It's called a ps3 and the slim is called a ps3 slim. Phat makes it sound like a piece of crap.. damn this is too tempting to buy a slim.
