Why I still have a fat PS3

I also would like to mention Lutz's With These Words I can Sell You Anything by talking about a little story. It's important to see how Lutz defines "improved"- He defines it as something different than before, not exactly better. What we should notice is the "not exactly better" portion of the definition, because alot of people see that word and begin to expect something "revolutionary" with better experiences. They experience something "new" most of the time, but they don't really see it as an "improvement", in THEIR definition.

So, I am a gamer. I like to play my games in the most optimum manner possible. When I used to game on consoles, I was an avid SONY fanboy and had the PS series. I was very attached to my fat PS3, which is the older model of PS3, and I never got rid of it- I still do have it to this very day. However, a few of my friends who were also SONY fanboys submitted to buying the newest PS3 slim, as it was advertised as an "improved" model. The PS3 slim on release was a new experience for them, but not exactly a better one. Why? 

- It's a slim model, therefore needed more care for handling, as it wasn't made out of metal like the old PS3

-Homebrew (homemade) software wasn't on the slim for a while, which infuriated many people who were accustomed to the PS3's homebrew. 

-Heating problems and excessive noise (I mean, you're trying to minimize space, but keep the same, if not, add more functionality. The tradeoff for that is heat due to less "space". 

I enjoy my quiet PS3 in all its fat glory. 

Too bad I'm a PC gamer now.
