Im buying one if the white one is released though #exclusivecolors
Totally worth the purchase
My Fat PS3 is still going strong after five+ years (*knocks on wood*), but I wouldn’t mind giving it the Old Yeller treatment and picking up this slimmer model.
I went through two Fats. I have a slim now and I love it.
I still like the look of the Slim better
I agreed, not a big fan of the topside
I really don’t see the point if they aren’t at least going to cut the price. In my oppinion, it’s not looking any better than the SLIM so what’s the point then?
They just want to make something different, new iterations always boost sales slightly. Obviously near the end of the life cycle, they possibly want to grab severely late adopters.
Plus it’s 500GB. That might tempt some people.
