"Slim Version is Even Better" 2010-06-11By
Sundown AL (NYC)
I have been now using the new slim version PS3 for about 1 month. My use includes a mix of Bluray movies and some gaming. But primarily movies. Great system. This is the 2nd PS3 I have. My original "fat" version is still running well, but in anther room.
I had no issue getting a 2nd system for another room, it's that good.

Tereasa Treleavan (Portland, OR USA)
I have been wanting onw since they came out, and I'm very satisfied. A downfall though is that some stuff on the internet doesn't work quite right and you cant listen to music and do other stuff. But I absolutely love it. Definately recommend.

Antonio CrespoSimply amazing. In addition to that, the best deal when it comes to a Blu-ray player. Just one comment, before signing up for the playstation network, be sure that the playstation store is available in your country...
