It's still got the stupid curved top so nothing can be stacked on top of it. That's Sony's way of making sure they are at the head of your erection of electronics.

I am so glad I got a 20 gig and a 250-gig hard drive.

Price drop is pretty sweet though.

I wouldn't stack anything on top of my system in the first place. That's silly.

Eh not really when space is limited.
Granted, I usually just stack games and movies on it.

My Wii is small enough to be stacked on top of my cable box with no issue or my Xbox.

What? Ignoring GTA4 and Valkyria Chronicles and a ton of others? MGS4 wasn't the best game this gen.

I played GTA4, not Valkyria though. MGS4 was the only game to come out this gen that was going to force me to buy a console.. but I was loaned a Ps3 and rented the game, and played through it.

Not saying any other games aren't as good or better, but they're more riskier for spending $300+ on a system. MGS4 is a classic, I'll still have to own it at some point or another. Plus I am kinda getting the itch to get newer sports games.

I haven't stacked anything on top of a system personally, since back in the days when it would cause a system to overheat - and backed up even moreso from all the times my friends Xbox (original) would overheat from having games stacked on it.

I guess since had Nintendo systems for the most part don't fear overheating.

I do remember all the tricks for making PSX works.
Playing them upside down was my favorite.

I just keep my actively playing games there, but as most can tell you... never can find the game I want when I need to.

My Xbox 360 has games I'm currently playing stacked on top of it. But other than that I have it clear around all of the vents.

The only reason I'd ever get this is for the blu ray...and there are cheaper/better blu ray players out there now.

Really? Last I checked, while there were some better rated blu-ray players than the PS3, they were all however the same price or more expensive, all without the added bonus of playing games.

If I'm wrong, I'd be happy for you to point them out.
