So in about a month I will buy a PS3. Now I have no experience with consoles so I will ask those more enlightened than I am: Should I get a new one or buy a used one? Also should I go for the classic or the Slim? I have played on a classic a few times and I love it but is the Slim any good?

Neither. Get a 360. It doesn't cost an arm, leg, and you immortal soul.

Wow. Immature much?

Anyway, try the Ps3 slim. Besides the look, there's not much to hate about it.

Here's the thing about the PS3 that really dictates which model you should buy; preferance. Older PS3s had more functionality and options to them, but were more expensive. Remember that whole 500 to 600 dollar phase? That's cause inital models were dream boats of functionality. Later models were stripped of this to make them cheaper.

I have an original 60 gig model. That means I have flawless PS2 backwards compatability. For me, this matters, since I still play ps2 games from time to time. (there's more to the model, like 4 usb ports, wireless modem, etc.)

The Slim model has stripped down functionality, but a bigger HDD out of the box (PS3 HDDs are upgradeable), and less expensive.

If backwards compatability doesn't mean anything to you, but saving money does, then get a slim. You'll be happy to have the extra gigs. If functionality matters, try to find one of the older 60 gigs.

(There are 80gig models that try to emulate ps2 functionality, but they're only 88% reliable with their backwards compatability, and efforts to enhance that percentage have been dropped.)

If you want to play PS2 games right away, buy a used one, that can run those good oldies, the PS2 offered. otherwise, hope for the future update, which allows every PS3 to run PS2 games, and buy the new slim one, because it will save money on that electric bill

If you want to play PS2 games plug in your fucking PS2 that you should have purchased last gen anyways.

So only the slim has wireless?

No, i have the 60gb model, the wireless works perfectly

Now that there $299, i suggest you get a slim.
