I have now bought the PS3 model 3004A. Although not here, but in the pro market, but no matter. It is fairly quiet and visual difference is that the side faces the predecessor (2504A) are no longer glossy but matt. Full HD Blu-Ray via HDMI works 1A. Avatar looks great on Blu-Ray. Previously I had a xbox360 elite, not the slim. A hurricane of operating noise. Unbearable. I sold completely unnerved after 4 weeks. That at the K model now no full HD output more about the Component connection is possible, I do not care. Use only HDMI. Allegedly wanted Sony thus prevent copying of movies in full HD. Supposedly the K-model have no more LEDs. Not true, for hard drive activity and operating status on LED's respectively since. I've been waiting a long time to buy me a console that now I have the right. 5 Stars.
