The new slim model has been said to be ugly, and a crappier version (Display-Wise) of the Original PS3.
I have never owned the original PS3, so I cannot make any comparisons besides the three following:
There is no Linux support, which is fine because I wasn't planning to use it.
Bigger Hard Drive, with the same price as a original 80GB PS3.
Smaller, (Not sure about lighter) than the original PS3. Except when placed up-right, the width is larger than the width of the original PS3.
My first review, so I'll just do the standard cons, and pros. I'll ad a "neutral" for a opinion thing.
Pros:
Bigger HD for the same price.
Lighter than the original.
Same texture as the PS2, which is great if you don't like fingerprints on your PS3.
Same as Original PS3 basically.
Cons:
Heats up pretty quickly. Used it for about two hours, and it had already heated up a fair amount. Though I kept playing for another two hours or so, and the heat never increased, so it won't overheat quickly. I'll get a cooler, if one ever comes out, just in case.
Neutral:
No Linux support. Whether or not you were going to use this would depend on if it was a con, or pro, or not.
Buttons, instead of touch-sensitive pads. Some have said that they prefer the touch-sensitive eject, and power buttons, instead of actual buttons. I personally, don't care.
No hard power switch on the back. I know the original had a power switch on the back to do a hard power off, and on. This is easily fixed by disconnecting the power cable, but it would have been pretty convenient if the Slim had it as well.
Overall, if you were planning to get a PS3, get a slim, or the "new" PS3, or just, "PS3", as the slim version is actually officially called the PS3.
If you want a PS3, but wanted Linux support, and like the older look instead of the newer look, get a original.Get more detail about PlayStation 3 120 GB.
