Does anyone know of any retailers that still stock the old 160/320GB PS3 Slims?
PS3 Slim 160GB or 320GB (Not super slim)

I have a slim, and recently bought the super slim after my first one's disc reader croaked. I'd only recommend the newest one if space is your number 1 priority.
It looks cheap, the manual top loading tray feels flimsy and strangely, it runs noisier than the regular slim. I'm guessing because the drive isn't nestled deep within the console so there's no sound insulation. I'd prefer the regular slim but if you can't find it, I wouldn't overpay for one and just get the newest one.
Would $248 be classified as overpaid for the 160GB?
A bit. You can get $300 and $400 bundles with new games (GTA V, Last of Us) that include the 500GB version of the newest console.
They're mostly gone man, last wave sold at sale price at Target in April, and Harvey Norman seems to have sold the rest of their stock a few months back.
Best bet is going around local shops and asking for those specific units, or eBay or Gumtree. My friend got lucky and went to his local Target which only had the crap Super Slims and asked if they had a 160GB Slim. By chance, there was one left in the back.
