    Is this the older model PS3? IINM, the new slim line models are 12GB or 500GB.

        This one is still a slot loader like the original PS3 unlike the newest PS3 which is a top-loader. Some people don't like top-loaders…

          the new one looks cheap, like it could break just by looking at it.

          davedrastic on 07/12/2012 - 11:49

          Yeah but smaller - and maybe quieter (just a guess).

          If you have a tight space then the newer could be the best one to go for - also you can get the new one for $228 at JB I think - although that is the 12gb version which is completely useless.

          Have you ever tried to fix a slot loading disc drive, inside a proprietary hardware box built to keep you out? Not fun…
          I managed to fix a wii console slot loading device and that took me like 2-3 hours and that would have been far easier than a playstation. I know you are losing features but I try to stay away from moving parts like electric windows just because I don't have faith in them.

          Yes it does from the PSN. But I mean native backwards compability via discs rather than repurchasing games you already own. I mean the Wii U also support numerous other Nintendo consoles via its Virtual Console such as Nintendo 64 and SNeS

    Here is (just a few articles about the power of the Wii U), sorry Mark96 :

    http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/19/a-glut-of-wii-u-guts-and-s...
    http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/11/29/nintendo-wii...

    http://kotaku.com/5964432/hacker-says-hes-cracked-open-the-w...

    I agree that Nintendo have AMAZING first party games…. and if you want backwards with all your old Wii games, it's handy for that…

    But, the machine is 'on-par' technically with PS3 and Xbox. For a machine that is 6 YEARS OLDER THAN THE new Wii U and is AS POWERFUL as the new Wii U…. Shame on Nintendo using old (or un-powerful) hardware components…

    Of the current generation (i'll include Wii U) - the PS3 is STILL the best choice for mum's and dad's wanting to buy their children a machine for Christmas.

    Why…?

    1. You can Play DVD's, CD and Blu-Ray discs (Xbox 360 can't play Blu-Ray discs and Wii can't play any discs other than Wii U and Wii games).
    2. The PS3 in this deal has a 500GB Hard disc to store heaps, the Premium Wii U has 32GB… you'll need to pay another odd $100 (on top of the Wii U) to attach a hard disc.
    3. The PlayStation Network is vast with heaps of old PS1 and PS2 games at offer, if you desperately wish to play the old games on the new machine.
    4. For another $88 (Harvey's price, but not the cheapest) you can add 'Play TV' to your PS3 - this will make it a TWIN TUNER TV recorder. Record two shows at once on your hard disc… 500GB is plenty of space…

    There is so much more I could say… I guess it goes down to the buyer.. If you just lovve Nintendo then the Wii U is for you… But if you're a family and you want a game machine that can double up as a 'pure entertainment' unit for the living room… then it's STILL PS3.

      vash12 on 07/12/2012 - 09:11

      "Record two shows at once" are you sure about this?
      Might invest in a Play TV

      •  
        Rodgort on 07/12/2012 - 09:36

        It's honestly not that good. You would be better off getting Foxtel IQ, or downloading shows(off of iTunes and such).

        •  
          voolish on 07/12/2012 - 23:46

          I've also read horrible reviews about it, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole considering you can buy tuners that record HD for ~$30 these days.

      mark96 on 07/12/2012 - 09:17

      Fair enough but I already have a PS3. And since its six year old most people who want one already have one. I'm not hating on the PS3 at all I have one and love it. The only thing is I got it at launch and now want something new to play. Blu Ray player isn't a concern for me as I never buy optical media. Furthermore my laptop has a blu ray burner.

    •  
      Porthos on 07/12/2012 - 11:11

      You sure about recording 2 shows at once? A mate's PS3 struggles to even record one and if you're then trying to watch tv on it it glitches throughout. Seems great in theory, not so good in reality.

      •  
        cvindura on 07/12/2012 - 15:15

        You can watch one show and record another at the same time. Recording 2 shows at the same time is not possible as far as I know (I have tried).

        •  
          vash12 on 07/12/2012 - 15:20

          Does it record subtitles as well?

        •  
          Porthos on 07/12/2012 - 16:17

          That's what I thought, but even still with recording something and watching another channel, the live TV you're watching constantly screws up. I only know this as the digital tuner in his LCD was rooted so to watch the footy we had to watch it through the Play TV. Was absolutely shocking to say the least.

          Good in theory, but how it couldn't properly do it and Sony still released it I have no idea.

    •  
      Sage on 07/12/2012 - 11:41

      you didn't even mention PS3 has a huge library of games compared to the Wii U which only has a couple exclusives and none to look forward to.

  •  
    msjb on 07/12/2012 - 08:24

    @erwinsie what you're talking about is illegally pirating games off the internet.

    I've heard that you can with the OLD version Wii and XBox 360…. Again, it's illegal.

    Arghh

    I got a PS3 super slim 12GB 2 days ago from JB for $229 + 2 years warranty (total of 3) for $30 and the HDD upgrade caddy for $11 (had a spare 500gb drive from my broken PS3 slim).

    total $270

    I'm sure that 12GB version will drop down under $200 soon

    good deal OP

      Interesting. I want to upgrade purely because the version 1 fan is so noisy, and I have a drive hanging around.

      Should I go for the slim or super slim?

  • +2 votes
    millzy on 07/12/2012 - 11:14

    I'd go for the slim, purely because they were a solid console. Like everyone has been saying, the super slim has not been tested.

    I got this back in June of this year for the same price from Big W, except with Uncharted 2. Whisper quiet and great catalog of games. Anyone who hasn't got a PS3 yet, buy the older Slim model while you can; it's much better than the newer one in my opinion.

    I was considering replacing my fat PS3, and I definitely find the latest model more flimsy.

    But I just checked again this Slim is deeper than the earlier model, so while it's shorter in the other dimensions, it ain't gonna help me much.

    I'm sure I'll regret missing this deal later as I'm sure my trusty PS3 will die now that it's sensed I'm thinking of replacing it!

    •  
      Rnewton4 on 07/12/2012 - 14:58

      I'm also thinking of replacing my original PS3. With all the YLOD issues that the early ps3 models had, and with the bluray drives failing quite often, upgrading might be worth it I think. At least then the hardware is new and you have a warranty.
