PS3....slim v.s. old

[kingmike74]

Looking at taking the plunge on a PS3 and wondering which model to get.

I do not care about HDD space that much but do want Uncharted 1.

Should I grab the slim or go for an older model. I would like BC but looks like that is out unless I get one on eBay, and I do not trust that situation at all.

I'd get the slim. Cheaper bigger HDD...the Uncharted bundle is more expensive I think. Plus you can get that game cheap used. I have an older one NON BC and I love it. All Ps3's play PS1 games which is cool I guess

New development in my situation.

I talked my brother into trading his 80 gb Metal Gear bundle for my new slim, and a blu ray remote. Not a bad deal, now I can put an OS on that bad boy.

I hate trading new for used but his system only has about 100 hours use and is clean as a whistle. He will not give me the game but I picked it up at Amazon for 20 bucks after my ECA coupon code.
