It would be nice to have smaller unit. I just wonder if I'd have the room to break out my PS2 Slim since any new PS3 Slim wouldn't have PS2 playablity. I don't plan on buying much digital titles on my PS3 unless they are dirt cheap like the ones I've bought thus far. Plus getting the Fatal Frame Thrilogy on my PS3 digital was a must.
I don't htink I could go without a PS3 given the collection of games I have, along with not having played/beaten all of them yet. Plus there is my Top 11 Octoberween Game picks of this year to consider. Though going all digital would be tempting (like I am kinda doing on my Wii with VC Neo Geo titles) I don't thik I'll retire any hardware systems just yet. Either way the decision has been made.
