PS3 Slim?

[Jin]

Nice necropost.

I don't complain about the price as I have this stuff called money, damn useful stuff.

People is a plural. "You people" does not consist solely of you. People were complaining that the PS3 was too expensive, Sony was (and last I heard, still is, even on the slim) losing money on each sale. It makes sense for them to reduce their loss (and as a result, the flexibility of their price point) by removing features that are relatively insignificant - features that its competition doesn't offer, I might add.

Oh and I was right, something else did go. The ability to install alternative Operating Systems

The 10 people in the world that use this feature must be crushed.

And what do you mean you lost features? Did your PS3 break? How were you forced to buy a slim?

No, but I do feel I was adressed by what your response.
And I very much like being able to run emulators on devices that actually support homebrew as opposed to doing it via dodgy means.
Features like supporting the last gen's games? *asking while playing Conker Live and Reloaded on 360*

But seriously what GAMING features does the PS3 offer over the 360.

No, but I did buy one. I thought it would save space, but as it stands it doesn't really get used.
I later bought a custom case that's refrigerated and houses both the internals of my 360 and launch PS3. Pretty snazzy, no?

i have the original 80 gig backwards ps3 and also bought the new slim, i actually keep on in a different room and typically just use my older one as a ps2. i dont really mind having 2 ps3s, its not like i couldnt afford it.

Well, for one, no red rings of death that block your ability to play at all... oh, and free online gaming is nice, contrary to what I said about it months earlier.

I dunno, I think I'm jaded after my 360 red-ringed for the 3rd time. I'm still partial to the 360 gaming wise, but since my 360 may as well be a 7-pound paperweight, I'm digging my PS3 at the moment.

As for the Slim, I don't like it. It's great to have the option of a smaller console, seeing as the PS3 fat is the size of a small car, but something about the PS3 fat's sleekness endears it to me.
