Go with whichever costs less, then. If you're still undecided, that means the differences don't matter that much. That leaves only the price to consider.

Have you ever considered doing your OWN research, instead of expecting complete strangers to spoon feed you the information on a message board???

Thanks for clearing that up. I was a bit concerned about that.
I think the PS3 already has beat the Xbox... From what I've read, they don't even utilize its full potential, and it already smokes the 360. I could be mistaken, but its architecture sure sounds impressive...

Not sure exactly where jasonx1 is getting his information from, but judging by this site - with its remarkably clear pictures - you can see that the blu-ray drive sits directly above the hard drive, and both are located on the right side of the PS3 Slim. Whether that would create more heat than the processor/etc. (which are on the left side of the Slim, on the opposite end to the HDD/BDD) I don't know, but I would assume that there is still SOME heat generated by the hard/blu-ray drives in tandem.
Probably not nearly enough to superheat a game disc, but certainly enough to warm the unit up.
But anyway. There for your consideration.

I know there was a payware "OS" that utilized the PS3's OtherOS feature to do some seriously fast encoding - an almost 1:1 time ratio, if not less - but I also recall it being rather limited in its tweakability (no two-pass encoding, to be specific).
Not yet...back when the PS3 first came out, I heard about dozens of planned otherOS's...but other than a few university-only operating systems designed to calculate black holes, explosions, the big bang, etc, I had not heard that any of them were successful even in booting. I will have to look again to see what is out.
[edit]
I found this; it does seem a bit limited, but it still gives hope:

Well, it appears too late to buy the 'fat', Linux version; and death by heat has never appealed to me, though I might have added a better fan. Will miss streaming NetFlix, however. (I'm not a game person, so excuse me if I write down to anyone.)
However, I'll try and suggest why Linux was of great value. It has the best programming environment of any OS: it was there for you to write games. Debian Linux has about 30,000 free, open-source applications for you to examine, modify, & learn to program. Many are games, AI board games and fast games.
I'm not sure I could buy the equivalent hardware for 10x the price. Rather than think 'Why Linux?', perhaps people should have thought 'Why MacOSX?'. What can I do with a PowerMac, a honking graphics card, and an HDTV as a monitor?
At one time, all processing went through the, well, processor. Silicon Graphics was the exception, and graphics chips started using its OpenGL 2D and 3D language. ('This is a Unix machine. I can use this. -Remember the 3D OOUI?') Linux has recently added 2D graphic commands to X.org (which translate to OpenGL), momentarily leaving the 3D to the application. Integrating 3D graphics into Linux OS calls is very active.
Before creating MacOSX 10.2 (Unix), Steve Jobs founded Pixar. Much of what you played on fast Macs likely came from current 3D Linux games. Foobilliard was a favorite of mine. That and the little Penguin sliding down hills and racing cars. These were just some of the free, Linux games one could download to a Mac, or to the PS3 and play using Linux. (Linux has FlashPlayer, but not Shockwave, for Web games.)
There's more here than in a Mac, however.
Cell (microprocessor)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_microprocessor
This processor has a lot of co-processors: the AltVec, a short- (128-bit) floating-point co-processor for floating-point numbers made it a little Cray supercomputer on one's desk.
The array of integer processors was for a reason I don't know; but artificial intelligence has little use for floating-point numbers, I should guess.
Because the Linux OS & interface is being used by IBM to develop on these chips, I suspect Linux's principal purpose was to provide you with a programming environment for games. (Perhaps free games didn't appeal to Sony?)
The Debian Jr Project (games, educational, board, & action)
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-jr/
Here are some of my granddaughter's Debian Linux board games, running on a dumpster laptop with 6 GB disk space & dead battery. What would they look like at HDTV resolution?

I will keep my response to myself since you are the moderator and if I disagree with you I will get banned.
Darx, buy a PS3 Slim, what I have and I had both types of PS3s.

Get the slim since it has the smallest chip therefore will create less heat. 2. Slim has a 3 year manufacture warranty whereas the others are only 1 year.
Personal experience: Recently. I have 2 40gb ps3 that died (YLOD) and it was only 2 years old when i bought them.
