Right I'm tempted to buy a PS3 slim (with fifa10... of course) and was just wondering how big they really are, and whether it could easily swap with my PS2 (yeah didn't bother with the normal sized ps3, but now's the time for change!)

I was looking for the actual specs, but this website could well be just as handy, plus I thought it was fairly interesting and wanted to share it (sorry if already posted!)

Looks like it could just manage it, but does anyone know the actual size specs?

Is this of use? If that link works, it shows the heigh, depth and so on.

That is of use, it means I'd need to store it somewhere else! The current place is 9" depth and 8" high... which means it could go in diagonally (...) or just not fit in!

It's 33% lighter, and 33% more energy efficient. :)

What has that got to do with anything? weight is no issue for me :S It's the actual size of the thing which I wanted to know!

Oh shucks, cos I can really fit my DVD's into my DS :rolleyes_

I'm now torn between xBox 360 and PS3 slim, don't much fancy a ps3 slim if you can't get backward compatibility! Apparently there will be a patch? Anyone know?

Slim still has PS1 b/c, which is like half the titles for b/c, just like 360. You should get a PS3 as anyone would agree it's more worth the cash now.

I had a chipped ps1, so that's no use to me as all the games I had were chipped! It's the ps2 b/c I want!

Just stick wiv ur ps2 and get an xbox, some different games and is just pretty different to playstation. Then u can play ur ps2 games, and lose to me on the 360!

PS3s are smaller then 360s now :) Actually I think theyre bigger in 1 dimension, but I forgot which it is. Length I think.

Hence why I posted that link at the beginning of the thread :P

I'll go into more depth, the ps2 isn't just mine, it's also my sisters. She has a lot of singstar games and stuff like that, so it isn't fair if I just buy a ps3 and she can't play those anymore; it's not a case of my own games, it's more for hers :P
Same situation with the 360, she loses out again!

Never going to be a patch for it, Sony released that in a press conference.

I got one and its pretty neat, 6cm in height and depth is just pretty much a sqaure box tbh, but its still taller than it is deep.

Go for a PS3, much more worth it in the long term than the 360.

Just take a look at the exclusive line up over the next year or so for the PS3, and compare it to that of the 360 and you'll make your mind up ;)

Dont let the size stop you getting one, if you really want b/c, get a 60GB preowned. Blockbuster were selling them for £200 near me, worth it if you want the extra features :)
