The 320 gb version would have been the best.

I have the same confusion. Atleast the cheap looking 500gb console sound just a little more, not annoying. The size of the new one is considerably smaller and lighter too.

I don't have much idea about PS3 but I think in Old version there will be much more online community support and firmware hacks etc would be easily available.

Today at a sony world I checked out both the slim and the superslim versions.
Funny thing I found the button on slim to be awkward. Why? you see, when you press the button for ejecting Blu-Ray, the disc comes towards your finger. I mean you have to quickly remove the finger after pressing the eject button. I have slot loading music system in my car and accidentally while dusting I hit the eject button and broke the Hari Om Saran audio CD by my swinging palm (remember I was dusting). Blu-Ray is much more expensive than an Original Audio CD to break.

I am not telling slot loading was bad. I am telling I am not comfortable with it (actually I thought it to be cool, until I broke a CD).

Anyhow I don't know about the OP, but I purchased the 500GB version for Rs 15,449 from ebay. I do not like racing games, so disliked the bundle with Uncharted 3 and Gran Turismo 5. I bought Max Payne 3 and HDMI cable too.
