Have you actually handled one? I have and I think it is well built. It is cheaper for Sony to build which also means it should be a lot cheaper to repair, should that need to happen...

yes actually have a frend has one , and we both agree prefering the slim over it , but honestly i would love it if sony did a throwback thng n sold the first model as a 500gb wit the spider man font writing, tht system was truly amazing looking , it wod b cool if they reproduced it for a limited time.

The way I see it the superslim build quality is about the same as the slim PS2. This model is important to help drive the manufacturing costs down, so it can eventually be sold for under $200. This was less likely with the slim model...

the only flimsy part is the sliding door for the drive. everything else is more or less the same

I wont be buying one, i got 4 slim ps3s and a 80gig mgs fat. I dont have a need to buy this.

Also, i bought a psone slim and it was junk and died on me. I dont know about the ps2 slims? I do know the ps3 slim is good, but the super slim i prolly wouldnt try, as i didnt try the slim ps2.

Why would anyone buy one when you can still get the other slim model?

Well I bought the 500GB model with the Assissin's Creed III game. I love the new look and size, it's well worth the $300.00 price for me.

* The superslim is smaller

* You can't get a disc stuck inside

* Easier to clean the BD drive lens

* Should be cheaper to repair

i am liking mine, I got the Uncharted/Dust bundle. I've had it maybe a week or two and while I don't game as much as I used to, I've played enough to form an opinion.

Coming from a YLOD 40gig, this is quite the improvement. I don't really see anything to complain about. Plays games just the same, seems like it will overheat less, and just seems like there is less to go wrong.

Most complaints seem to be from a visual standpoint, and something like that is just personal preference....I think it looks just fine.
