I thought it was pretty funny when it was confirmed that the PS3 slim would in fact look like those early leaked photos and videos. I was almost positive those early leaked photos and videos were fake. In my opinion the slim PS3 looks cheap and not anywhere near as sexy as the original black behemoth. Lacks the glossy finish which had me weak at the knees for the original. I keep getting a cheap VCR look from the new design.

It is quite a technical feat though. The fact that they managed to shrink the size of the PS3 considerably and still not have a power brick outside is quite impressive. I'm even more surprised they are cramming 120GB's into the thing, its awesome that they are doing so but I think 80GB would have been sufficient.

Still, for $299/£215 the PS3 is one heck of a deal. Sony should be fine for the next couple of years, especially with GT5 and FFXIII which will skyrocket them in Europe and Japan.
