Depends who you ask.
Majority opinion seems to be that the larger models are more reliable, though.
(I wouldn't be surprised, given there's precious little room in the slimline for heatsinks or fans).

I have em both, they behave the same. I'd say the slim one is easier to drop or knock off of something as its light and small, that is why people think it isn't built as well.

Yah.
I can see arguments either way, really.
Long-term, the slimline should have a more reliable drive mech. One moving part to wear out instead of 3(raising/lowering the mech and opening/closing the tray are elminated, so you only have to worry about the laser tracking).
But the older models should cool better.
May be offset by more efficient chips, though. Less heat to start with.

yeah but who has these things long term... As soon as the PS3 comes out, I am going to can both my PS2s.

Me, for one.
PS2 hasn't replaced the PS1 because, among other things, it isn't 100% compatible. There's slight glitches here and there, and exacerbations of other glitches, resulting in some game-crash issues.
Are they uncommon? Sure. But they're there.
And not everyone wants a PS3. Particularly if Kutaragi's ramblings about it being not affordable for households are accurate.

True...but a lot of people do ditch their systems when new ones appear. I used to keep them all but, I wound up with way too many...
Who said everyone wanted a PS3?
