Looking for a PS3 that's backwards compatible

  • The new PS3 slim line (120GB) is in the shops now (about £240 - £250) and it is much better in my humble opinion :) It is not touch sensitive so the slightest bit of dust does not turn it on and it is half the size and not all glossy looking. Game is offering it at £125 if you trade in your old Ps3.

    Ps3 60 Gb plays all the old games (so son wont be parting with it) but we are going to get rid of hubbys 80Gb for christmas
    :confused: Any hints/tips advice is appreciated :D

    Tracy - that means they're giving you £125 for your old PS3. That's a really crap price! They'll give you £120 for an old Wii which is much better value!

    Ah, but the new one looks like a Rover dashboard compared to the Ferrari styling of the Phat. Game would need to double their offer to get their grubby hands on mine... ;)
    What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about !!!
