I just bought a new ps3.

It's the new 120gb slimline one. Looks smart IMO. I got GTA 4, fight night round 4 and COD 4 modern warfare with it.

I just wondered if anyone has got one, or even seen it?

Plus my mate has ordered the white ps3. Any opinions on that?

We sell them where i work . they looks nice but we've had many come back, apparently the fan seems to go early and bluetooth keeps disconnecting. Maybe needs software update or something

As for the fans. well i don't know.

But it does look real nice much better than the bulky virsion

I saw the white ps3 on youtube in some vid. It looks unique but i'm not a fan

Aslong as you don't play it excessively it should be ok, or so thought it would lol

Ryan, you did get the warrenty right? because from what I have read is it will last for a few weeks with excessive play but then the fan might/will start having trouble

I think sony messed up personally Playstations are built for excessive play and they should expect their users to be on it 4/5 hours a day for the first 4/5 month but yeah just make sure you have got the receipt and the warrenty card you might need it

Good of Sony to produce a games console which can't handle being played.

Yeah, i bought 2 years insurance for it. I always do with things that are that expensive. You never know.

There have been alot of complaints about the fan. But in all honesty, they are beating the x-box 360, 10-1. And its not as if its every single console that has gone on the blink. Hopefully im one of the lucky ones.

It's only outselling it because it's new, now it would be nice to see if the figures would be the same if they were both released at the same time....

Although I'm still going to buy the white one when I can.

The white one is available in Japan and america i think. Bit wayward just for a white ps3 though. All that P&P charges etc, not worth it.

As for the fans. I think you can get extra cooling for the PS3 as an accessory. Might be worth looking into

well the old ps3 ive had one for bout two years and it makes a really load noise from the fan. it has been doing this for like a year now and it is still working fine. it sometimes does it when i first turn it on but i cant take it back as the warranty/insurance has already run out. i used to play it all the time when i first got it but now i hardly ever play it. it seems to be holding up.
