I would like to buy a PS3, either new or pre owned but which one should I get, I understand the slim is the newer model but is there any down sides to getting the older model?

Older ones especially the 40 gig ones are more prone to YLOD ! I'd get a slim myself as it is a Sexy bit of kit compared to the Phat !
I got the 40gig phat one and put a 320Gb hardrive in it, the fan noise is ridiculous. Not sure if the slims are quieter but they can't be any louder.
If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?
Yea get a slim, don't worry about hard disk size unless your going to store lots of music,photo's and game data.
The ps3 slim is quite, uses less power than the fat and is nice and slim it will fit where the fat can't get
Keep your eye out for a good deal if you want it new or poss check out ebay
Slim is so sexy in comparison to the phat. I think the Matt black makes it
phat=problems more than likely
slim= hardly any problems yet, quiter, more modern

I did think about 2nd hand, but then I got mine with gt5 and something else for 285, sold the other game to a mate for a score so he got to use it as an xmas present, so if I take off the 45 or so for gt5, the console cost £220 brand new in box with full guarantee.
Got an original phat and a slim. Would agree with prezzy defo overheating if noisy. The heatsink paste tends to dry out after a while making the fan ramp up. Easily fixable.
Personally I prefer that phat, the slim is rather cheap looking in comparison and the blu ray drive is certainly clunkier. Would prob get a slim if buying now though, for the warranty etc.
Slim, no question, mine phat is noisy as fuck, have to have it hanging out of the wooden well spaced (with real air) and see YLOD on to many posts here....
WARRANTY is the future, this is the first generation of hardware I've known that it's generally acceptable to be on a 2nd or third console (M$ and $ony)
