Apparently the "remove OS" feature will be removed from the slim, meaning no installing Linux on it.

Is there a feature list yet? I've been warning my friends they might want to wait until they know what's included, since Sony's got a history of stripping things from the PS3. Granted, it'd be great if I could get some of them to play on the PS3, but I don't want them to yell at me when they find out they removed the remaining USB ports, HDMI access, and the disc drive.

(Yes, I'm exaggerating, just in case the ghost of Darkpower decides to reach out and bitch from beyond the grave....)

BC is completely gone. The PS3 has plenty of games in their library now not to worry with that.

For one, they want to push their HD video services instead of Blu-Ray. For another, thy don't want to discourage people from paying ten to twenty bucks extra for game downloads.

Ahh yeah I had no idea. That's why VC said "latest fat". Definitely had not noticed that they removed those long ago.

Prolly going to get a slim. It just feels like the right time to pull the trigger. Want to play some Fat Princess, MLB 09, and MGS4.

It comes out on Tuesday so it's not unfeasible he could have gotten his hands on one. If not, he's probably planning on getting one Tuesday for retail and making a bit of cash

August 25, 2009 - Looks like many retailers across the country just couldn't wait another week, or perhaps Sony's September 1 launch date for the PlayStation 3 Slim wasn't really a hard date at all.

IGN's video man Ty Root went out this afternoon, walked into a GameStop in Brisbane, and walked out a PS3 Slim owner.

It's hard to say which stores are "breaking" the street date, but we recommend just calling around or, if you have spare time, walk in and politely ask. So far it looks like only GameStop and Best Buy are selling them right now. Let us know in the comments if you scored one early!

One thing I'm excited about is the fact that the eject and reset buttons are now hard buttons. When I was a manager for gamestop the sensors would go out all the time and the system wouldn't know what to do. These being physical buttons will remedy alot of that.

I gotta admit I prefer the physical feedback of a switch. The touch "buttons" seem a bit dodgy.

I pulled the trigger on a CAG deal that someone found. Got it for 299.99 with free shipping and no tax from Buy.com, with a pending 30 dollar cashback deal through Bing. 270 for a Slim was just too good to pass up for me.

Yeah, I'd do the same if I had $300. Bing cashback has been pretty good to me lately.

I want to see if anyone will trade me a Dualshock 3 controller for a 360 controller. I've got 4 360 controllers for no reason at all.

Sometimes I worry that my obsession with playing games older games will get so ridiculous that I may own a console and never play a game on it.

when people are creaming themselves over Final Fantasy VII still, is it really wise to remove BC entirely? The PS2 had an awesome gaming library and it kinda sucks to see most of that go by the wayside.

On the other hand, I have my old, fat PS3 with software emulation and that works well enough, so I can't bitch too much.

I think the only thing that really bothers me about this is that most systems add more as a sales incentive, and the PS3 did the opposite. Like, the 360 has bigger HDDs and a tendency not to die every ten minutes. The DS and PSP have offered better packages, though both have had features dropped in the process, I suppose. The Wii may or may not see improvements, depending on Nintendo's whim, but they're unlikely to drop features. Which is good, because one downgrade and they'll be an NES.

Worse, production costs simply have to have gone down enough to make such losses fairly unnecessary. I know their processor's a bitch, but even then.
