Congrats on your "new" PS3...extra congrats for getting the coveted 60GB Bacwards compatible unit.
I do however want to correct and caution you. The model/sku you have IS among the PS3's that have a higher defective/malfuntioning rate. The 60 gig PS3's were among the "first runs" and they seem to suffer (sometimes) from YLOD. Certainly not to XBOX 360 proportions, but the risk is there.
I certainly haven't heard about PS3 SLIMS being failure prone.
I just got my replacement 60gb through from Sony. Fingers crossed this one last more than 18 months. Great console though, and games wise it's just starting to take off. I didn't get one of those special needs boxes though :(
i have that 60 gb pretty sweet... awesome stuff glad to see ur moving up to an actual good console... cant wait to see some good quality reviews with some good quality games.
the 60GB BC compatible also has extra hardware other than what the other PS3's have which accounts even more for the extra weight. when i was researching for my own PS3 I read numerous people that had problems with the 60GB BC model overheating and such. But I would assume that since it's refurbished it should be fine though :) it's also not 100% backwards compatible but it's around 93% or some such percentage
Great unboxing man! I was kinda curious about that box. I kinda like the Fat models for some reason. The slims never seem to look right. Look so cheap.
Congrats, have fun. Good system and a Blu Ray player to boot. Funny when people saying not worth buying, it is an awesome deal just for the Blu Ray capability then on top of that current and future games and when the time comes it 's no longer "popular" then you start picking up the titles you never experienced for bargain prices. All around win as far as I can see! Hell, I think I am talking myself into one lol!
nice cat =) whats better slim or fat?? oh can 80gb play ps2 games?

The beauty of the PS3 is that it just keeps getting better.
By the time you've got your head round all of the cool things you can do with it, Sony will have added something new in a firmware update.
I totally recommend Warhawk , BF1943, Sega's Outrun and Zen Pinball... all downloads from the Playstation Store.
I'd beware of installing Playstation Home just yet though. They're having stability issues since the last update.
