    Had a BC 60, but it went on the fritz. Service would cost more than a Slim minus the trade-in value, and when I evaluated my PS2 library (which was nonexistent after many trade-ins), I decided the Slim would be a decent investment.
     
    Still, outside of the Uncharted series, I spend much more time on my XB360 (if you don't count hours spent watching Blu-Ray movies).

    I accidentally clicked 60 gig when I meant to click 40 gig because I have  a 40 gig and I hate myself and my life.

    I used to have a launch 60GB, but I sold it to get a Slim when they came out.
    No regrets at all.

    I had a launch 60 gig but it died on me so now I have a Slim. The broken 60gig is still in my house so if I ever get it fixed I would just use it for PS2 games because of the up res.

    80gb. If I want to play my PS2 games, I play them on my PS2. I didn't buy a PS3 to play my same old games. Though sometimes I still wish I could play a good PS2 SOCOM game on my PS3.

    Had a launch 60 gig but it packed in, so I bought a Slim as a replacement.  
     
    ... Not sure why I didn't send it in for repairs.

    I had the ultimate PS3, the original 60gb, but it YLOD'd when I was watching 2001: A Space Odyssey. Now I've got my Slim, and this bitch gets hot. Although, I've had heat problems with all of my systems so that problem is specific to me.  
     
    Anybody know how to keep this thing cool? Every time I need to use it, I have to: pull it out of my entertainment center, place it on a raised grill-like platform so it has plenty of room to breathe(even underneath itself), and yet I can still hear it when I watch Blu-rays. Is there anything I can do? Maybe a shelf made of glass will dissipate the heat more efficiently?

    My PS3 ylod a few months back, but I took it to bits and reheated the circuits and she's held steady since *knocks on wood*
     
    I wouldn't be too upset if I had to buy a Slim...though I would miss my backwards compatability
