i have now owned my PS3 slim for just over a month, and could not be more pleased with my purchase. As a gaming machine it is fantastic, and in my opinion far better than the xbox 360. Unlike the xbox 360 the ps3 comes with built in wireless and internet gaming is free, which to me is a massive advantage for the ps3. the extra features on ps3 are vast, theres the blu ray player which gives outstanding picture quality with a 1080p tv, not only that but the ps3 slim is also a dvd upscaler, brilliant if like me you have a vast dvd collection that you can't afford to upgrade to blu ray. One of the most recent firmware updates gives you the ability to watch bbc iplayer through the ps3, no more having to watch to missed episodes of top gear on a tiny laptop screen. In my opinion the small things make such a difference in putting the PS3 above the xbox 360, such as the usb cable to charge the wireless controller which you don't get included with the xbox 360. The typical graphics on this machine are outstanding and the gameplay is smooth with loading times are quick. All in all i would definately recommend the PS3 slim especially with its new reduced price.
Sorry but much more information is required to achieve higher ratings. If you add anything to this review in terms of additional detail and opinion, please do not hesitate to drop a quick message in my guestbook and I will come back and re-rate :)
