It looks like the first batch of anti PS3 Slim articles are beginning to roll out in time for the US launch, some memorable/laughable quotes:

Did you ever install Linux on your current PS3 to enjoy some awesome retro gaming goodness? Don’t plan on Linux taking control of your PS3 Slim then. Sony has removed the feature that allows you to install your own operating system. This is not a huge deal because it will not affect the majority of mainstream users and there will most likely be a few hacks that will take care of this eventually, but this is a great example of Sony taking away features on new products rather than adding them.

One of the biggest problems you’ll encounter with the PS3 Slim will be overheating, no doubt about it. The PS2 Slim overheated and so will this next generation. Smaller space equals less cooling fans and smaller heat sinks. Prepare to put this baby on an ice block.

Lol at the ice block comment.

I'm expecting quite a few more of these in the upcoming weeks.

Then again, North American media never liked the PS3 anyway (kind of understandable).

We can laugh about it now as it's premature b*tching but I wouldn't laugh too hard as we don't know the quality of the hardware yet. No doubt Sony wouldn't release trash, but it could be that they pushed development to make the 2009 holiday period. It will still be a good move business-wise as 360's early release also was the basis of it's succes but for the little fanboy quarrel it could be bad news to talk too positive right now.
