I used a 60Gb until now, but it died and I'll buy a Slim. Since there's only 2 USB ports, how can it register my 2 Sixaxis, my 2 Move controllers and my navigation controller?

The PS3 can register up to 7 or 8 different controllers all via bluetooth the two usb ports are just for charging and pairing each device so it wont make any difference having just two usb ports.

Each registered device will get assigned a reservation slot depending which is switched on or assigned by yourself the reason i mentioned 7 or 8 different controllers i think the 8th slot is reserved for the Blu-ray/DVD remote.
