It cracks me up to read all these topics about how MS is screwing up and screwing it's customers with a redesigned Xbox. The PS2 was redesigned on the outside once with the slim but made many technical changes inside over the years to the disc drive, cooling system, and chipset. A current Playstation 3 owner WILL see their system change in the next year or 2. The PS3 will be smaller, cheaper, cooler, and faster. I bet the Sony fans will be either cheering or crying when this happens. I've been collecting systems since the Atari 2600 and every single home system I owned ever has gone through both asthetic and technical changes during it's shelf life.  Your system will change so get used to it people!

I agree, but i wish i had HDMI on my 360.  It would be nice, but component is OK.  I still wont get PS3 yet until it gets new games.

They didn't add hdmi, which will improve how a game looks on 1080p tv's :). I'm just stating that the graphics and sound on the ps2 are the same regardless on which tv  you play it on.

Why would you want to play a less superior version of a game, even though they are the same consol?

I wouldn't go so far as to say they didn't screw us because they kinda did.  I don't know why they didn't include HDMI out with the Premium if they knew they'd have an HD DVD player coming out for it.  Oh, and what's with the PC grew?  I like everything about this new system and will peobably buy one when it comes out and then sell my current at work.  It's actually a pretty good deal, for 80 bux more you get a 160 GB HDD, HDMI out, and it's black.  The hard drive alone is worth the scratch.

 Now as for the stand alone 160 for near 200?  No way in hell I'd buy that.  That thing should be 80 dollars.  Hell, I just bought a 500Gig external for my PC at 125.00

"The PS3 will be smaller, cheaper, cooler, and faster." You even said it, it would be a smaller, cheaper, cooler, and faster. But this change on the 360 is the same look, differ color, like 1-2 addons, and it cost more money. See the differ? Sony changes the design of the system, MS is leaving the same thing just addons are new. (maybe fixing their mistake).

oh my goodness, you are talking about something that so few gamers actually have, and that is 7.1 surround sound. i have 5.1 SS, and i dont use that, why would i want to pay more for something i dont use? fpr instance, like if you go to someones house and they want to watch a movie you have and you only have it in BR and they only have a dvd player, like basically everyone, what are youi going to do? take your ps3 with you? no, i dont think so, you will just buy the dvd, because you know you will get the most use out of it.

It cracks me up to read all these topics about how MS is screwing up and screwing it's customers with a redesigned Xbox. The PS2 was redesigned on the outside once with the slim but made many technical changes inside over the years to the disc drive, cooling system, and chipset. A current Playstation 3 owner WILL see their system change in the next year or 2. The PS3 will be smaller, cheaper, cooler, and faster. I bet the Sony fans will be either cheering or crying when this happens. I've been collecting systems since the Atari 2600 and every single home system I owned ever has gone through both asthetic and technical changes during it's shelf life.

I don't feel betrayed.  My Aquos does 1080p through component for games and I don't need a 120GB drive right now.  I love my 360....10x better than my flopstation 3.
