Depends on if it has PS2 compatability.

I need a bluray player for my parents http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../im...s/5/agreed.gif
And the upscaling capabilities of the PS3 for standard DVD's, and low quality DVD rip AVI's, is very nice http://www.cdfreaks.com/jochem/../im...ies/2/wink.gif

Hopefully its quieter than my current PS3.

I have one in the living room (when they first came out) and I was going to just buy a blu-ray player for our bedroom (towards Christmas). If the price is right I would buy a slim.

Ugh, no doubt. I'm glad I can hide mine in a cabinet, it's way too loud to watch movies with in the open.

you're joking guys, the ps3 is way quieter than the 360's fan!! and its not THAT ugly, at least its not shaped like the gamecube! lol

Keep it next to a central heating vent or something?
Mines quieter than my lowly intel C2Duo T5670 laptop, which I wouldn't complain about.
And while it's playing blu-ray is completely inaudible - bluray must be a breeze or something.
Games the fan ramps up, and it's still a hell of alot quieter than my PC, which only has the PSU fans going.

Only if backwards compatability is brought back... until then.. never.
