OK so whos Pi**ed about the 40 gig hardware?

Those of us who already bought a ps3 are kinda gettin screwed since the new 40 gig runs on less power. Who knows, maybe after another year all of us who have 20, 60, and 80 gig ps3s could have overheating issues (Just thinking of possibilities). We pay moreand couldget screwed by the hardware in the future unlike the cheaper 40 gig that runs on less power. Probably won't happen, but just thinking about it.Who's a little concerned since the ps3 is supposivily a reliable system? If the ps3 is already reliable why would they change it besides cutting costs?

Hey at least your PS3 plays PS2 and PS1 games. The 40gb doesnt so their is a upside and a downside. They are cutting cost just like the did with the PS2. Look how tiny the PS2 is now compared to when it was first released. It is just business. Quit crying now.

well ppl with 20gb and 60gb get BC so i couldnt care less.

You'd rather have it use less power than have BC?B1ACK_MAGE

This article may put your minds to rest about the PS3 overheating

I second that. Would you rather it use a few less Watts of power then play PS2 and PS titles? You do realize that just taking the power consumption down doesn't translate into greater reliability?

Is this a joke?

They only changed it to cut costs.

Why should I?

I AM enjoying my PS3, and it's a good news to motivate more potential buyers to join the PS3 family. The bigger the PS3 user base is, the better chances more exclusive AA and AAA games will show up on the PS3. I'll benefit from this move.

I just can't understand why there are ppl care about this. I DID NOT invest my $600 to keep the money from depriciation hoping I can get profit from the value increment someday. I paid for the PS3 system to get entertainment and my goal is achieved. 'Nough said.

Stop complaining, do sometin bout it..

I mean im happy wit mine...60 gig..woop dee doo..Wat a bit less pwer consumption, less slots and less memory + NO BC..

Thanks but no thanks, imo the NEGATIVES outweigh the positives..

While I understand the point your trying to make.. to me it sounds illogical and dumb. Obviously if someone has the cash to spend on a PS3, must already own a PS2 which he/she can use. Let me also point out that so far PS2 games play a tincy wincy bit smoother and look better on my plasma via PS2 through component versus PS3 through HDMI. I know that sounds strange, but it's just the way it is for me. The images seem too clean, like a slight haze effect or either I see more pixels. I'm such a videophile that yes.. I can see the difference. It's better to use the component output on your PS2. I'm one of those guys who complains about a mediocre Blu-ray transfer and own the Sony 34XBR960 so uh, yeah. Next...

2-3 years down the road after your PS3 has seen lots of gametime and possibly some abuse along with changes in the environment, weather, etc then one would gladly appreciate having a 65nm cpu. Why would you not want a more efficient Cell processor is beyond me. I'm guessing the newer 40gig PS3's will have a 1 in 3 chances of holding up longer under years of heavy gaming. I don't know about you but.. I'm a serious gamer and demand the best.

I have the 60gig unit but you don't see me crying about lack of b/c on the new units. I paid well over $600 at launch to play and look forward to PS3 titles. Besides, in a couple years this whole arguement won't hold up much at all when hundreds more games are released. Ppl will have moved on by then and what will matter more is whether or not your hardware is up to par. Your 60gig model may very well hold up 10 years, who knows?

If I were to buy one now, I'de snatch up a 40 gig and swap the hd out for like a 200gig and could be damn sure not looking forward to seeing Tekken 4 or MGS3 on it. But that's just me.
