Thanks for that info. I saw that the original was actually $25 less than the slim.

Actually, benchmark tests show that the original is *slightly* faster. They also show that the slim uses less energy and is quieter. Honestly my original is absolutely silent (esp when compared to my 360). Either way, enjoy! Feel free to add me as a friend on PSN. I’m “forensic6″.

The only main difference between the three options mentioned is the hard drive size. The slim no longer supports putting an alternative OS on it, but for most people, that doesn’t matter. The slim is currently the only model being produced, and all other models are pretty much sony trying to get rid of back stock. The 160gb, unless being sold for 350, isn’t exactly worth it. You can buy a 320gb Hard drive from western digital for 99.99, and then get that game for 15 dollars at game stop, or some such area. So, for an extra fifteen dollars over what you would pay for this bundle, you can get twice the storage. So, yeah.
