I'm holding off until I can be sure there are no 'hidden' changes (features) made in the slim.

Like what? Blocking certain media format types? Limiting hard drive upgrade options? As a current PS3 owner (60GB originally before upgrading to a 500GB drive), I'm curious.

But I will say this, the price drop and the fact that this newer unit runs cooler and uses less power has me considering selling the current one and buying this one. MAN that thing puts out some heat - very noticeable in the summer.

I can tell you that the PS3 slim has no street date at Best Buy, at least according to what our inventory system says.
