I skipped the slim because I'm quite happy with my phat. However, I may get this model IF it is hacked to an equal or better extent then my phat. With the slim, the features just weren't enough to justify an investment for me. This model, though, if the screen is as good as some of the pictures I have seen floating around could just be enough to make it worthwhile. I want to see it in action before deciding. If it's not worth it, I'll just wait till the elusive PSP2 comes out.
