ps3 slim. Worth it?

[Steve]

I'm thinking of getting one just because I hear they're really quiet. I have one of the 80 GB models that was known for being really loud. I love it other than that. What do you guys think?

I think if you are only buying it for that reason,I wouldnt I mean 300.00 just for it be less noisey.Is it really that bad?Then again this will be my first Ps3 so maybe I should not be offering suggestions.Im just saying fireman ask your self is $300.00.Worth it being that quieter

I probably would not have paid $300 just for a quieter PS3, but since I sold my other one for $250 (the original 20GB model) the difference was well worth it to me. It is so much quieter. And I really do think the Slim looks good in person. I also like having the lossless codecs light up on my receiver. So, if you can sell your 80GB and buy it I would say it's worth it. Or, if you have the money, buy another!

I would sell my launch 60gb for a slim but its got bc!! (that i never use lol) I might sell my bd player and just cover the rest though. I need a 2nd ps3 anyways for the kids.

There are also other benefits: smaller, lighter, less power consumption, Bravia Sync (if you have Sony TV), etc.
I heard about an EBGames promotion where if you take in a fat PS3 + 2 games + $49 they'll give you a PS3 Slim. I *might* do that with my 60GB model (except that I've taken it apart a few times to fix it before...)

You got yours for $50, I would totally jump on that deal if I could!

you all make valid point thats why I said if the only reason your are doing it is because of the noise then no.
