I just bought a brand new ps3 slim 320 gig (came stock with 3.55 fw). It is the slim with the ps move bundle. anyways, i bought that, and demon's souls. i went home to play demon's souls, and i couldn't get the game to get farther than the character build screen without freezeing. to be specific, after i created my character and the game was "updating save file" is when it would just lock up there for 20 minutes or longer and never progress past that point. Also during the character build screen i would notice graphical errors (like the whole head and body of the character wouldn't be displayed, only the face. Or the sound would stop playing after about 10 seconds). I tried Demon's souls on my friends fat ps3 and it worked perfectly fine on the first try.

So i returned the ps3 slim and exchanged it for another 320 gig slim. brought it home, hooked it up, same EXACT problem. btw, the other game i have, little big planet, plays fine on both slims.

Now, it is my understanding as i've been reading that the ps3 slim just "doesn't play certain games" which i found really hard to believe hey would release a product that doesn't work with earlier ps3 games, but i seem to be finding this to be true.

basically what i'm wondering is....is this true? If so, is there anything that can be done other than buying a refurb fat ps3?

Haha nice glad you got it to work m8, remmember one little scratch will cause that big of a problem :y:
