Internals! Finally.Sentry said:NICE, pics are in the 15th post for those who don't scroll down..
Raist said:Awesome. Maybe I'll be seeing some flats on that day, but you haz my mobile number anyway :x
dreamer3kx said:97 gigs at bootup?! Isn't that kind of excessive? I would think it would come with 110 gigs at least.

DeadGzuz said:Uh no. Sell Prototype ASAP and get inFamous 2009 GOTY (so far).

Benchmarks so far.
LBP install time FAT ps3
38 seconds
LBP install time SLIM ps3
35 seconds
Street Fighter 4 (game load to capcom screen)
23 second Fat
22 seconds Slim
GTA: IV install data
7 minutes 30 seconds FAT ps3
7 minutes 8 seconds SLIM ps3
also started a new game about 9 seconds faster than the FAT ps3.
as far as graphically, i haven't noticed any frame rate difference yet,
So my conclusion so far is the blu ray drive may be alil faster in the slimmer ps3, but that's to be expected, it does have a slight difference in load times with every game i tried. i'll post more when i get more into it.
EDIT:
I will add the fan noise is considerably quieter than the fat ps3 you hardly even hear it on its 3rd speed,
this will be good for anyone who likes watching movies while its quiet, and when playing creepy video games not have that "WOOOOOOOOOOOO" sound to annoy you haha. This thing doesn't get nearly as hot as the fat ps3.
(Note: this is before applying the mx-2 to the cpu and gpu).
And, i have MX-2 in the FAT ps3, so far it's still quieter and doesn't get nearly as hot, Fat ps3 was burning up after 1 hour of GTA 4, while the Slim was warm at best.

Sentry said:You sure about that?..
Gary Whitta said::lol :lol :lol
Tough choice ahead... I bought the Slim as a secondary PS3 for my office but since it's quieter and supports more audio codecs maybe I should make it the primary system in my living room where it'll see more use and relegate my fatty to the office. Decisions decisions...

here are pics no step by step yet, i just want to get them up!
THE PSU is still pretty big, they basically just stretched it haha, its the whole black of the ps3 slim, the blu-ray drive is smaller, and this machine is def, quieter, could be cause the fans all the way in the front of it and not in the back or middle anymore!
Starts off pretty easy.
Sorry for the crappy pics wanted to be the first online to post these pics! ENJOY!

Not exactly a great idea.
What's your PSN id? Don't be a loaner!Amir0x said:I have INfamous. That's why I'm not playing it yet - I'm trying to get through Prototype on 360. So it's redundant to start it yet.
Someone gets it!
Hmm, I see no new ones except two avatars with that broken image logo, 'Missing Image'.. other than that they're all the same. Maybe those two blank ones are new?MikeE21286 said:Yeah, I'm almost positive. I don't check them everyday but there were some on there that looked like they were new to me.
Solution: Buy another slim.Gary Whitta said::lol :lol :lol

No way, 60gb fatty + Slim = best PS3 combo ever!Sentry said:Hmm, I see no new ones except two avatars with that broken image logo, 'Missing Image'.. other than that they're all the same. Maybe those two blank ones are new?

Amir0x said:Don't worry I'm getting that next paycheck. I spent a little too fucking much this week. Set me back a lot into my savings :lol
As to what I'm playing first.
I'm thinking Valkyria Chronicles, only because it seems to be different from everything else I'm playing at the moment. I'm playing Wolfenstein so I'm not trying to start another FPS yet, and Batman is my adventuring fix so Uncharted can wait. PLUS I purchased Prototype like a week or two ago sooo... INfamous seems redundant for the next few weeks

Left, 40GB
Right, Slim

PistolGrip said:GAF delivers! nice pics...
he slim is temping man damn... if it wasnt for the fact that I have a 60gigger wBC and a 250G hd drive I dont want to format, I would get this in a heartbeat...
maybe combo? beaten.
_leech_ said:The one on the left isn't the 40GB model (hardware PS2 BC on the left side of the motherboard). This is what the 40GB motherboard actually looks like:
