I can't vote because my vote would be pick the machine that looks best to you.

I prefer the look of the phat so I wouldn't swap it for a slim unless I really really thought the phat would fail again. But if you like the look of the slim well enough then go slim.

Or wait until that sweet limited edition God of War skinned slim comes out and grab that.

alright so i am getting a fixed up ps3 phat (80gb no bc) from sony in about a week or whatever it is. the point is

BTW: it doesnt matter what i do, because either way i got free service and can easily pay the different for a slim, so either of the choices is great. just pick one

 

 

 

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH IT AFTERWARDS?!?! YOU DECIDE!!!

 

there's some stuff you have to look at first though

1. do you ever see yourself using other OS?

2. if you have the 2nd generation 80gb ps3, will you ever use the sacd (super audio cd, not implemented in 3rd gen 80gb ps3,  ps3 slim)

3. the only difference between the phat 80gb ps3 and slim is the bravia sync (ps3 slim)

4. ask sony before they sent you a fix 80gb if it's posible for them to switch it for a slim (doesnt hurt to ask some manufacturers actually do this if both devices are same price)
