this seems like someones lucid dream… will be cool though, but i just wonder how much it will cost?……hmmm
Another version of the PS3? Good god this is not needed. >_>
The main thing I see is the new 65nm Cell and RSX chips.
hell, just buy a 160gb sata 2.5 5400 rpm hdd yourself for 80 bucks and then you’ve earnt those money. Lame that they keep on releasing new ps3’s all the time. If they belive that doing silly price-cuts and releasing “better” versions of the consoles their wrong. Damnit, pisses me of.
Tidus
and hell, if they keep updating the ps3 all the time, why didn’t they wait with the release to begin with then?! gosh.
Is the new ps3 sixaix compt with the old ps3. Is it easy to put hdd in a ps3.
we know the 160gb model is coming in October. This spec wont be true though because this is the first one ive come across with such massive spec, y need 3 ethernet ports????, y need 2 HDMI ports????, 6 usbs????? Sony took away things like usb slots and memory card slots because it made the console price too high. Sure this would be great but it wont happen.
