I just received my PS3 Slim today - I am also a current owner of a PS3 60gb version with hardware backward compatibility to the PS2.
My initial thought is that the new PS3 Slim is fantastic - nice and small, certainly about 50% quieter than my original PS3, and everything works as it should. Just make sure you get a remote control if you will be using it a lot for movies, as the standard controller is not as form friendly.
I am not a major gamer, so I will mostly use the unit to watch movies (Blu-rays 95% of the time) and also access my music, photo, and video collection I have stored on my PC. You can't do that with a standalone Blu-ray player.
In addition, for a small $[...] cost (actually now it is $[...] until August 31st if you use coupon code AUG10OFF) you can install PlayOn software on your PC and then stream Netflix, Hulu, CBS, ESPN, and more to your PS3. It works great and makes the PS3 the best media solution regardless if you play games on it or not. The wireless works flawlessly (I have everything else in the house hardwired to ethernet thru routers/switches) even for streaming video with PlayOn.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 120 GB.
