brought a 60gb fat ps3 version which lasted 48 hours yes 48 hours and died from red flashing light . so brought a ps3 slim 120gb model from toys r us £229 and i am very happy after updateding it from 2.85 firmware to 3.10 the ps3 dont get hot at all unlike the fat version and i been playing uncharted 2 now for hours which is ace this slim is very quiet indead apart from you hear the drive move to access the disc. out off 120gb hard drive i got 111gb to use after ripping and converting dark knight transformers 2 and bronson movie in 720p hd mp4 movies the picture was better then the blu ray disc thanks to avs 6 software and with all my pictues and mp3 i still have 77gb left . so well happy now glad i got rid off my xbox 360 thats for kids i love the ps3 . so buy a slim and get rid off xbox 360 you be amazed by the real hd power
