I eagerly await the first rrod
Ya, it was announced at e3 2 days ago.
I saw no top shots of the thing but I read they changed the harddrive layout? Are they finally admitting sony had a superior design in that aspect?

Different hd, and its a 250gb in all new models.

Right, but is it a laptop style internal or another bullshit proprietary design?
Edit, okay went and did some searching and the only part that's proprietary is the enclosure, they use the same sata 2.5 as the ps3 or any laptop. Where they are different though is their draconian ban policys towards upgrades. I still can't understand how anyone can deal with those people, might as well sign every check in your book and bend over with your pants around your ankles and spread your cheeks.

You can do whatever you want to your console. You just can't play it on xbox live afterwards. Seems pretty fair to me..

Agreed... unmodded consoles on Live keep the game balanced around skill and luck... and sometimes camping...

Makes sense to me.

Where would a larger harddrive give an advantage in online play? My ps3 has 500gigs internal and about 340gigs external and I see no extra fragging going on :rolleyes:
Its not about advantages, its about protecting their monopoly and extorting cash from the user base

I'm just wondering why no Blu Ray player yet? Are they blind? I'm willing to bet that a significant number of PS3s were sold solely because it is also a Blu Ray player.

They are going to make it a pricey addon... Count on it.

They didnt ban for upgraded hdd's, the banned hacked hardware made to play illegal games.

I thought I read somewhere that they were thinking of a blu add on, but they would have to pay royalties to sony or something.

Unlike the ps3 HDD, which is a stard drive, the 360 hdd was proprietary, and only fit 360's.
If you modded it to accept a regular hdd, you could get banned, because you had to hack the hardware to do so.
Dont hack, you wont get banned.

You missed what I said above, it uses a regular 2.5 sata drive in a proprietary enclosure. It wouldn't be modding if its a direct swap, not to my mind anyway. They're simply greedy fucks
Anyway, who cares about a new x-box. Did you guys see the 3DS?

The 3DO?

Nintendo 3DS. Handheld, fully 3D, no glasses needed, on par with ps2 graphics.
