I'm actually digging the new redesign. No major cosmetic changes, but I didn't expect that to happen. This was a pretty good designed out of the gate, so I figured thinner and lighter with small changes would be the order of the day. I'm really liking the new bigger start and select buttons, and how the game card slot is now placed in the center up top. Hopefully the trap door is easier to open as well.
Overall, I just need to hear how well the OLED measures up to the new LCD, and I'll be getting one ASAP. Sadly, I just upgraded my original black unit, to the AC bundle white, but I got tired of waiting on this announcement, and even then I wasn't sure if other colors would make the launch. I really just don't like all black systems, so I'm glad to see Sony is offering more colors at launch. Hopefully we will get all 6 colors in other regions as well.
Considering how many are already complaining about loosing the OLED, I'm sure I can sale my current unit at a decent value, as I'm sure there will still be a market for the OLED units. Which is good, so I can cover my slim unit cost.
Overall, this isn't really a must buy for most users, as the lighter weight and extra hour of battery life won't be a big deal for most, but considering I should be able to upgrade(or downgrade depending on point of view), for almost no money out of pocket, I'm really interested. Hopefully some LCD comments will be forthcoming so I can make a final decision.
