    eh, I dont really like it, the Blu Ray player loads slower, up to 10 secs in some cases, I know not a big deal but some take a long time to load anyways, also it isnt a touch panel anymore, they are now hard buttons, which can be good or bad, but I like my touch panel =). But they larger size hard drive is nice, just a toss up really, I dont feel like going to the trouble of selling my old one just to grab on that is only a little thinner, but slightly deeper.

    The only major change is the bitsteaming capability. That, and the smaller size....

    Yes graphics are un-changed. just a few "budget" cutting features for the most part.

    Never noticed a slow Load speed due to the BluRay player, since all PS3's games are coded to BluRay. . But I'm happy w/ my 60GB w/ Backwards compatibility. .

    I also love my 60 gig with full backwards compatibility. The new one is fine, but I am also very much fine with my old one. As far as the larger hard drive, that is something that can be upgraded quickly and easily.
