I have just edited the OG post..

and it does matter for a Ethernet cord, because its better to go wired then wireless.

Don't forget about the people who don't have wireless. Anyway, I always wire my consoles. Wireless is just not stable enough and you loose a lot of speed.

Anyway, the PS3 Slim is FUGLY. And it doesn't stand vertical.

Seriously? If it's that cheap, then why didn't they just put it in the box? I mean, I know they screw you over by not including a mic, but now they can't even give you a little plastic stand? *sigh* Sony, Sony, Sony...

I don't mind the slim, but I'm aggravated by the fact that Sony just keeps taking features away from the system and selling it at the same price as it's older models. It's a let down. I'm glad I bought my PS3 when they offered PS2 backward compatibility. :)

My PS3 doesn't play PS2 games and I don't care because I still have like eight working PS2s.

I've never used a ps2 game in my ps3.. not that I would need to, maybe final fantasy. Other than that, most games i play on ps3 were made for ps3

I still play a few PS2 exclusives. Juiced, Black, Midnight Club, some Spyro games, Onimusha Warlords, and a few others.

Midnight club is also on 360...

my PS2 sucks.. well it works fine.. but the disk tray sometimes gets stuck, so i have to use a flat head screwdriver to pop it out..

That happened with one of my PS2s. But I had seven more.

also I still own PS2s, why would I get a 360 if to play one game? Nearly anything released on the 360 is eventually released on PC anyway.
