I was going to sell my used original DISCONTINUED 60gig PS3 and get the slim one.. but my co-worker told me that ONLY the original 60gig PS3 has the best backward compatibility (97%?) vs 60%, 70% (other models)... he told me that I can easily sell the original 60gig PS3 for $250+ (I watched some ebay bids and some went over $300), basically I can get the slim one for free lol, but the fat shinny one looks a lot better so I am keeping it.
