i have to admit, it looks pretty sweet

i would really really like to know how it handles heat. because i can cook hotdogs on my old 60gig. now in a more compact space maybe we can cook hamburgers on it?

PS the slim has not LINUX functions. Boo from me!

I don't like that they did away with the glossy finish, sure its pain to keep clean but it looks so much better. Granted this system can do alot more than previous ones, but it's not as much of a drastic change in size as it was with the others, it looks like someone put a regular PS3 in a compactor and then ghetto spray painted it.

Looks cool. Too bad there is no gloss.

Slim pricing:
80Gb = $299
160Gb = $399
250Gb = $499

There's been no confirmation of the 250Gb (yet) but, trust me, it'll be here soon.

I really like the way the slim PS3 looks but I'm weary about ventilation. There aren't as many vents and it's a much smaller so I bet there'll be more issues with overheating, a Yellow Light of Death (YLoD).
