Even though I am a huge Xbox 360 fan, after actually getting my hands on a PS3, I do respect the PS3 as a console (the PSN (playstation network) is a different story). Other than poor online capabilities, the PS3 has actually been a great system. The only other thing Sony could've made better was the way it looks and the price. They did improved both of those things. The PS3 Slim is now available for $300 as opposed to the previous $400 price tag.
More importantly (for this blog at least) is the design change. Sony replaced the glossy, often smudgy, finish with a matte finish which is great. They took away the big, silver, lame, 'spider man' letters and put what should've branded on the original console, "PS3." Finally, most obviously, they made the damn thing smaller. The original PS3 was massive. The 'hump' seems to be less severe, and the length and width are both smaller. And in this day and age, when it comes to electronics, smaller is better.
