If RP sells it at P17K, then it's expensive (P17K / $300 = P56.67). Current exchange rate is only P48.575 per USD. I guess import duties and mark up rates are like that over there.

Importers and retailers are making a killing!!! If you must, buy it overseas.

Speaking of the PS3 slim, I want to capitalize it's True HD audio format which I've learned is bitstreamed via HDMI. Hence, I'm setting my sights in getting a new AV receiver for this purpose. Pioneer and Onkyo system is on my shortlist. Hope this will make my BD viewing experience way much better.

So how's the performance? May nagsasabi, madali raw uminit, since mas manipis na?

as far as im concerned i played 10 hours straight last night and it's not heating up not like the version 1 ps3 which is too hot when you touch the back panel...

Performance, I guess is not much different from the previous version. Yes, it produces heat but I believe it is within acceptable limits. It's still very early to make any concrete judgements as few have expressed any adverse experiences. Beyond BD playback and games, I find the free online integration of the playstation franchise quite interesting.

Games played: HAWX, COD4, Endwar, FightNight4, Killzone 2, GT Prologue
BD played: Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Planet Earth, Wall-E, Pirates of the Caribbean
Several DVDs and Audio CDs also displayed very good reproduction.
