It's certainly neat but I don't think it's really worth it unless you want it just to have it. I believe the only difference is the size, and otherwise there's no benefit to the slim. Personally I like the size of the standard NGPC and I think it would be less comfortable if it were slimmer, but it's all up to you.

I have heard that it also has a better speaker and screen but besides those and the size. That is the only difference. Is the Jaguar I am looking at something I should get or is not much of a waste if I let it go. Really do not have the money right now to get one new from Best electronics. Thanks for the help

It's not really much of a waste if you let it go right now. It's not a bad price but it's certainly not uncommon at that price, especially in auction.

my sale date on the system I purchased on Ebay was December 19th, I haven't received any emails or anything yet from the seller. I tried emailing maybe 3-4 days ago asking if he had shipped it yet, and also just did so today (haven't heard anything back yet). I've been on Ebay for quite some time now, but I'm wondering normally how long do you wait ? I'm a bit anxious

I never wait more than a week.

Thanks, I think I will pass then. Part of the money I have I already had plans for anyways.

Taking over a thread on a message board by taking a part of the original posted topic, twisting it around and "hijacking" the thread itself. Which you're not really doing, considering the whole thread is basically a "should I buy?" one.

Anyways, I'd watch that one. Looks like it's in good condition and comes with a few games to get you started.

4. Sensible soccer (boxed)
6. Alien vs. predator with instructions (no controller inserts)
7. Super Burnout
8. Val d'Isere Snowboarding
9. Hover Strike
10. Dino Dudes with instructions

...are all decent to great. So yeah, definitely keep your eye on that one.
