Hello everyone. I just joined the forums today and I'm looking for some help.
Because of the price drop and ps3 slim, I am interested to buying a 2nd PS3.

I'll keep it simple: Should I buy a ps3 fat? slim? or a blu ray player that is around the same price point. Rolling Eyes

The reason is because some say the audio on blu ray players are better than that of the ps3. I will be using it to play blu ray movies, dsd, cd's, few SACD's.

PS. are SACD's really worth it? I'm happy with DSD as I don't here a difference from my existing olf 'fat' ps3.

If you have some SACDs, I'd always buy one of the original SACD-compatible PS3s if I were you.

Perhaps the price of used ones will also lower now that the price of new ones has dropped.

Yeah, but it's hard to find a new original Sad and at a good price.
Do you know if the new ps3 slim has better audio than the ps3 fat though? Heard it had some hdmi chipset upgrade.

Correct. See http://www.ps3sacd.com/index.html#_20090819_2

The only quality difference is bitstreaming of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio, but that's only applicable if you've got a receiver that can decode those (and then still the quality difference may be marginal).

If you buy the new model, at least you've got maximum variation.
