It's the look of it from the top that I don't like; it looks too square somehow.
And I'm not a fan of the matt finish, I love the shiny silver and black on my 80gig

Fine, I'll start again.
I don't see why people are complaining about the slim design. The phat ps3 looks slightly less appealing in this pic. Slim just looks sleeker.
Is this choice of words ok with you, james.miller?
It seems to me Sony have listened to what the PS3 owners wanted to see and improved on the design. I do wonder how much smaller it could have been without an internal PSU though, something which I'm not at all bothered about having sitting near the plug.
All you PS3 owners were complaining how easily scratched the unit gets and how much dust it picks up, they've solved the problem now and you still moan?! It looks pretty similar to the normal PS3, I don't see what problem people have with the looks, especially since it has no bearing on the functionality of the machine. Smaller is better, as is less power consumption!
The price is getting more reasonable, but it's still more than £200 here in the UK, and that seems to be uncompetitive in my eyes, plus the games cost a fortune, I'm used to cheap PC versions now. Last console I had was a PS2, and the games weren't exactly cheap, but they were cheaper than PS3. If it were less than £200 I'd consider it if I didn't already have a gaming PC and a blu-ray player, it would be a well-priced alternative.

Looks like the Power consumption is now only approx 74Wattsthe original PS3 was 180Watts!
IIRC peak power usage:
Launch (90nm Cell / 90nm RSX) was 200W
40GB (65nm Cell/ 90nm RSX) was 160W
80GB (65nm Cell / 65nm RSX) was 130W
74W is pretty damn impressive though - near enough halved the 80GB figures! I assume both chips are now 45nm?
The lack of Linux is a real bugger though
is that 100% confirmed?!Cheers,
Su

Gee, ya think?!
I still expected it to be a little smaller anyway, not grow in every dimension just to make it thinner
It's about 35-40% smaller by volume, not as wide and not as thick but goes back a little more.
Can't say I like that finish though, a smoother matte (like the FF PS3) would look a lot nicer IMO.
Also: http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/18/sony-sneaks-ps3-slim-through-fcc-under-pseudonym-250gb-model-di/
250GB model submitted to FCC same time as the 120GB so surely that will be out in the not too distant future?

This picture doesn't show the breeze block power supply of the 360, which should also be included as its a bugger to stash away.
Should have really googled this myself before asking on here... Shame to not having backward compatibilty..
