Which PS3 to buy right now, PS3 slim or ultra slim???
Good evening everyone


So I have a friend who wants to sell his Xbox360 to buy a PlayStation 3

But he'd like to know which PS3 to choose right now, that is the PS3 slim or the ultra slim (reliability-wise, etc)???

Which PS3 would you recommend to him????


Thanks in advance for your answers ;)

If he plans on eventually hacking it better forget the ultra slims. Otherwise I haven't had any feedback on the ultra slims.

A buddy of mine bought one, 12go HDD, that alone would put me off, not to mention it fatally comes with a firmware higher than 3.55.
Otherwise very small compared to the fat one I have, maybe the only good point.

Yes apparently the cover is fragile

I think for now to stay on a reliable machine you should stick with the 160 go or 320 go slims the latest ones released have basically no more issues they've almost all been fixed
On the other hand for the ps3 ultra slim I think you need to wait 4 to 6 months to know the real flaws found on the first version of the ultra slim because it's all shiny and new but there must be some small flaws ^^

ideally you'd find a late 2010 pack (data 0C or 0D) to keep a hand on a possible hack. Hack rare in early 2011 (1A) then impossible afterward.

IF you want to buy a ps3, I'd recommend the slim (not ultra-slim) in 320 go...
you'll have all the room you want for your games.
it's proven itself and all the FAT's flaws have been fixed (finer soldering) so it's less likely to overheat and plus it uses less power...
on the other hand if you want to get the ultra-slim, definitely get the 500Go version...
even though it's true the top-opening lid design really looks CHeap!!
it doesn't look sturdy, now if you're not rough with the lid...
make your choice!!!


if you get a 12Go (flash memory)
don't forget you'll have to buy that sooner or later. :mrgreen:
