"Sony’s latest model of their PlayStation 3 console may seem somewhat redundant given the fact that they previously released a slim version of console a mere 2 and half years ago, but it is still an admirable attempt to correct the issues with the previous incarnations of the machine. Though is it worth tossing your old PS3 consoles out the window into oncoming traffic and upgrading to the super slim model?"

I fully agree with you. I also have the slim version and do not see the need to trade in for this one. Plus, come on Sony... its 2012 and still no HDMI cable. Not smart at all.
how much faster???
The new slim is good, but also bad. They are replacing the old slims, just to justify a price increase, which is a dirty tactic.
I think if you just buy the 12gb and use a 3rd party HD, it works out good. Not sure if every consumer will know to do this though, which means they have to fork out on an expensive ps3 one.
As far as it looks, I don't think it's that bad. People were complaining about it, but it looks fine.
Well aware mate. I'm just saying I would prefer the better looking slims we have now, as they are also cheaper.
The average consumer wouldn't think about using an external Hard drive, they would just buy the expensive ps3 ones.
The super slim isn't necessary, UNLESS they continue manufacturing the normal slim (Which they won't).
when everyones fridge is already full of milk
Don't Smoke Crack!
Or Flavor Flav will be knocking down you door.
The super slim might be the thing to push them to get a PS3.
u so right man....+b for u
F+ for both yous!

Truth is, if you have a faulty Ps3 thats out of warranty.
Dont want to fix it up yourself.
Want a new PS3, you have to buy this.
This isnt a concurrent PS3 with the old slim, its a replacement.
Lol, this guy says
1)The PS3 is known for having a noisy blu ray drive.
LOL yeah, it spins 1times read speed.
Has he ever used any of the 360s? I have the older Jasper and new 360s and both are honestly louder than my 2008 80gb PS3
2)The beep at start up is why he wont play it at night when people are asleep.
I suppose, if one lived in a trailer, without walls to seperate where the t.v and bedrooms are, it may wake people up.
For crying out loud, are you going to have the t.v volume at mute when you play? Surely its going to be louder than that start up Beep.
He's looking for anything, and I mean anything, negative and when it could be found he resorted to what you've listed.
What's funnier (then the fact futurefrog works for this crappy site) is what you find if you stroll through CC-A submissions to N4G. Do you see a pattern forming?
Funny that. ;)
OK Sony has really gotten the Manufacturing cost down and Sony is making a FAT Profit on each PS3 sold.
So why not drop the price even more to entice more buyers before the PS4 is released?
Oh well it looks really nice
They also don't need to drop the price until Wii U is released. That's the point. Make as much as you can before this gen is over.
....and sell more PS3 games NOW and not later
the real money is in the game sales not hardware sales.
Each console vendor is around the 100K mark in weekly sales right now. This is half what it was last year at this time. Sony seems to be fighting for market share in a declining generation.
The slim had the startup beep too and it never woke up my wife with the living room door closed.
Now, I really am NEVER going to visit your amateur site again.
You have to wait a little while to get just the standard console.
