with the recent price drop of the PS3 I am very tempted to pick one up, but I'm not sure which one to go with, the old model or the new slim one since they are both now being sold for 299
I am not a hard-core gamer, and I imagine the only games I will end up buying will be GTA4 and NBA 2k10, so I don't really care about the newer slim one having a bigger hard drive, as I don't think I am going to need all that much space.
I know they are some things they are taking off this new one, so I am wondering if it makes sense to get the old clunker model. any advice?

More space is better any way you slice it. Games are increasingly becoming bloated and the file sizes require a lot of space. Plus, if you're planning on renting any movies over the Playstation network, it downloads them temporarily to your HD and people were pissed when they discovered that their drives couldn't handle it. I'd get the slim if I had to do it all over again.
- more space at the cost of HD speed sucks though, don't know the specs in this caseversion3

Might as well get the new one if you're casual enough to not really care. Granted I haven't compared the two models so I don't really know the differences.

BUt if they're both the same price why would you not go for the newer model with the bigger hard drive?
Think about every game you play usually loads data to the hd when you first play it. I thin GTA4 had like a 4 gig preload or something similar. So after only playing a few titles your hd is going to fill up pretty fast. And thats not even including any full games or movies you download from the network.

just a note they took the install another os function away on the slim model so if you planned on running linux off your ps3 then you should get an old one while they last.
