AxelSteelBMX:
If you still have a PS2 plus all of your old PS1 and PS2 memory cards, then go for the Slim. My launch (Phat) PS3 60 gig eventually did take a shit on me after about 5 years of solid and fruitful gaming, and from what I've gleaned it's an issue that will eventually claim the lives of all the launch models (provided you actually play games on it regularly, as my friend's launch model that he barely ever uses is still going strong). It worked flawlessly up until the point where it stopped booting up, and it wasn't due to negligence on my part. It was a huge bummer. But my Slim has been a champ, and I haven't felt the need to replace the 160gb hard drive on it yet (despite my robust collection of Rock Band DLC). Literally the only things I miss from the Phat are the 4 USB slots in the front (which can easily be made up for with a multi-tap), and the backwards compatibility (which isn't as big of a deal if you've still got a working PS2, which I do).

Can't speak one way or the other for the Super-Slim. No one I know has one.

Arseen:
Oh one more thing I have against super-salim is that the Phat and slim models spit the disc out forwards, but super-slim the disctray opens upwards and in tight places it will be hard to get the disc out.

sheep2001:
I've got a white super slim - horrible plasticy finish, but it does run extremely quiet and cool (although you can hear the blu ray drive when it's searching data on the disc, as there's no sound dampening on the lid). I also think the slims look awful. Unfortunately my fat needs a repair job.

Blumpkin:
I have an old fatty PS3. It's quiet and runs great. I just wish that it was backwards compatible with PS2 titles, and wasn't such a giant eye sore.

e_brugal:
From what you all are saying fat and slim are much better that the super slim.

Lets see how this ends ;D
