just bought a ps3 slim.....

....to replace my busted 40 gig fat model. It drained my account more than i liked but hay what else was i going to do lol. luckly for me my mother offerd to cover half the price, man iv got a many ah washs and detail jobs to do on her car to feel better about my self lol. though i did give her the car so.... :p. Any way i got the 120 gig mod but im going to replace the HDD with the 320 gig one i had in my fat model. And yea i know i should have waited till after E3 as there will prob be some great new sku or price drop announced but hay im dumb like that :p. i figuerd i would try buying my system from gamestop this trip instead of walmart, maybe i'll have better luck with it. I got the gamestop warrenty for 40 bucks. it is not a extended warranty but what it does is if the ps3 goes kaput in the first year which is coverd by sony i can just bring it back to gamestop and they exchange it for a new unit in store instead of sending it to sony to have fixed "which can take weeks of hassel and even then it can still not be right" or having sony send me a refurb which refurbs dont have the best rep from what iv seen on msg boards. Seemed worth 40 bucks to me any way.
Any way just wanted to share my big news. And please to all my friends here on ninfest.... ok to the people who do not COMPLETELY hate me :p please wish me the best of luck with this system as my track record with console hardware is not very encouraging lol.

Whats you PSn name? add me Im triz.

rgr that. mines blakeownsu im going to hook the system up in the morning ill add u then.

Congratulations on the new purchase! Those refurbishing guys at Sony aren't the brightest. I bought a refurbished Sony computer and they installed the back up hard drive in the main drive slot.

Cool, the slims, IMO, look totally cooler than the old models. As for a price reduction I don't think we'll see one this year you should be good.

yea im def diging the new look of the slim. i like the matt finish better and it just feels like a more thought out design for some reason.Much better than the George Forman grill that is the fat :p the fat mod is prob the ugliest console next to MAYBE the ps2 iv ever owned. Of course its whats on the inside that counts but still.

I saw you online last night! My first Ninfest member virtual sighting.

How about that. A Ninfest connection on the PS3! Now we need a Xbox360 sighting. Can you see what game someone is playing on the PS3 like on 360?

ROFL!!!

No wonder Triz doesn't want to play Mario Kart. Going for all those trophies in Barbie Horse Adventures is a daunting task!

if you were gonna bust me on playing a kiddie game you could have used a real example like Eyepet.

You really play Eyepet or is that more for the child?
