Yes, the PlayStation super slim is not the most durable of the PlayStation consoles, but do you have plans of taking it on backpacking trips through the Alps? Or maybe gaming with your friends in the middle of a UFC style cage match? If not, then you most likely have nothing to worry about. If you're like me, a responsible adult who takes care of his electronics, I can't see how you could go wrong with this system. The console is a little less durable than the others, but it comes with a 250 gig hard drive, one of the best games produced for it and a great Blu-ray player. Those three things combined with the price tag was what lured me to it.
If you're planning to give this to a small child, then you may want to invest in one of the other PS3 consoles that are a little more sturdy.
If you're someone who plans to smash it with a ball-peen hammer from time to time for no real reason, or if you're a person who prefers to spend more money and get less, then this system is not for you (and by the way, you're a moron).
If you're someone looking to get a PS3 for a great price and to make your money stretch as far as possible, bang for your buck wise, you can't go wrong with this package!

Excellent console, mild misleading information about voltage specifications.
EDIT - November 12th 2012.The original post:"I really wanted to give this console 5 stars, however I just couldn't. While the console functions properly in every way, the product had misleading information about technical specifications, beware 220V users.At Amazon's page didn't specify voltage requirements so I went to Sony technical data. The data specified AC 220 - 240, 50/60Hz.Well, the information outside the box didn't specifiy anything. The voltage information was inside. It stated 120V. Now I have to buy an additional transformer.Information: us.playstation.com/ps3/techspecs/uncharted3-gameofyear-bundle.html"And give this product two stars. However, reading the responses I've got, I decided to void the warranty,open my PS3 and check for myself whether it's 120V, 240V or both. WARNING: I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND IT UNLESS YOU'VE GOT BASIC SKILLS; IT COULD BE FATAL FOR YOUR PS3.The results:I've got a glimpse of the brain behind this beautiful console, however I left that untouched and I went directly to the power supply. It was what I supposed (given the accesibility to power solid-state electronics these days): PS3 has a solid-state switched power supply that can manage 100-240V 50/60Hz.As I work for a laboratory that has a deep sense of quality, I can say that the labeling on both the case of the PS3 and webpage are indeed misleading to the customer: neither of them reflects the product's technical specifications. This tiny mistake was a big downer for my personal interests: my local voltage is 230V.So why all this trouble?a) It was a gamble between a U$S50+ 220-110V Transformer which adds more power consumption and my U$S 270 PS3.b) My internal geek engineer.Was it worthy?While I voided the warranty and nothing happens to my PS3 in the next year, I would say yes, my internal geek is satisfied. I even raised this product two stars.Why not 5 stars?While the PS3 itself is a 5-star product, an enterprise like Sony must and should be more careful with all this details.Anything more to add?I also own a 32" LED Sony Bravia and a Sony PS3 Media/Blu-ray Disc Remote Control. The three of them interact beautifully together.
