- xOpifex, on 11/02/2007, -3/+72I think you're confusing the PS3 with your opinion.
- jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -2/+69My 60gb is already whisper quiet. I didn't think they could make it any quieter. That's pretty amazing actually.
- macromorgan, on 11/02/2007, -7/+74Thank god this has the 65nm chip in it. That means it's less prone to getting the red ring of... wait... nevermind.
- deepmenace, on 11/02/2007, -3/+70200 to 135? that is a huge benefit.
makes those 40gb models look a whole lot more tempting. - DPimp1262, on 11/02/2007, -4/+45Sony already is using the 65 nm chips? Wow considering how long it took Microsoft to finally implement the smaller cooler chips it's pretty amazing to see sony reducing their chip size not even 1 year after the system's launch.
- phoenixp3k, on 11/06/2007, -2/+38That is a pretty interesting drop in power consumption. Wasn't there a story about being less fans in the 40GB version? That would explain why :-)
- acurism, on 11/02/2007, -4/+36Holy Crap, this came out of left field.
I don't think anybody expected the smaller 65nm chip. - TangentThought, on 11/02/2007, -1/+31Why the hell are you guys saying that it doesn't have an HDMI port when it really does?
- evozero, on 11/02/2007, -1/+31This actually seems like a well thought out base model. Enough value differentiation to make the $499 ps3 appealing to certain people, but also enough features that it doesn't seem stripped to *****. While it is still at a price that puts it well above the offerings of Nintendo and Microsoft, it is a step in the right direction. I wonder how much less power it uses (in actual game playing) than the 60gb ps3.
- TehSwat, on 11/02/2007, -4/+32Worth logging in for digging you up.
- mywhitenoise, on 11/02/2007, -0/+28I know, I don't care that I paid more for my 60GB model, the BC, SACD support, and the console itself is worth it. But when I found out it runs cooler and quieter I got pretty jealous.
- kenvsryu, on 11/01/2007, -2/+24Now I need 3 ps3's.
- staticneuron, on 11/02/2007, -0/+18Not this again. Normally followed by a comment about the PS3 exclusive and great performing multiplatform tiles. Only to be countered by hey those ports are on the 360. Only to be countered back most PS3 owners may not have BOTH consoles so your arguement is weak not to mention the fact that even if a game did run slightly better on the 360 it doesn't make it a horrible game on the PS3.
Phew...... I have seen so many troll and fanboy comments I can write a novel..... maybe make it to the best seller list. - mywhitenoise, on 11/02/2007, -3/+21I've been playing Ratchet and Clank non stop for a week.
- ZaZ2137, on 11/02/2007, -2/+20***** that you need FIVE, someone already has FOUR ps3s
- Schmapdi, on 11/02/2007, -0/+17It's always nice when they can cut back on power consumption and heat & noise output. Shrinking die size is a win-win. Though it is pretty rare for it to happen so early in a products lifecycle.
- chiisu, on 11/02/2007, -0/+16I think I foresee a PS3 joining my Wii soon...
- jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -0/+16All PS3's have HDMI. What are you talking about. And do you need to post your flat out lies more than once?
And yes the Harddrive can be upgraded too. - krische, on 11/02/2007, -2/+18They are probably still mad by the fact that HALO wasn't really HD like they were lead to believe.
- jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -0/+15Seriously dude WTF? Every post you've done on PS3 is a flat out lie.
- otatop, on 11/02/2007, -0/+15It has HDMI, and you can upgrade the hard drive, plus it has built in wifi. You = fail.
- shinythingy, on 11/02/2007, -1/+16idiocy prevails
- dbxz, on 11/02/2007, -3/+17i believe that noise is coming from the dvd drive and not the fans...
- CarlosReyes, on 10/30/2007, -0/+14This isn't youtube.. get the ***** out and take your spam with you.
- eryximachus, on 11/02/2007, -1/+15Umm, all PS3 models have an HDMI port.
- jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -0/+13All PS3s have HDMI. You want B/C pick up the 60gb or 80gb, or a used PS2 for $30.
- Unclekoolaid, on 10/30/2007, -0/+13go away or at least back to youtube
- DAaaMan64, on 11/02/2007, -2/+15No he isn't thinking of anything. Not the PS3, WII, or 360.
- krische, on 11/02/2007, -0/+12Wait, it actually run quieter than it already does? I have a hard time hearing my fan in a silent room the way it is.
- HappyScrappy, on 11/02/2007, -0/+12Ratchet & Clank is great, and it came out a couple days ago. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is very well reviewed also.
Don't bother posting that there are no games if you're just not going to look and see what there is before posting. - jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -0/+12All PS3s have HDMI, you are wrong. Please insert coin and try again
- triplehelix, on 11/02/2007, -2/+14if xbox fans weren't scared of the truth, these numbers wouldn't have been buried twice in the past two days:
http://digg.com/gaming_news/PS3_outsells_the_360_b ...
btw, don't bother digging it, its already been buried, so has no shot at hitting the front page. - ctrlfreak13, on 11/02/2007, -2/+13Just wait for Gran Turismo 5.
- eurocrisp, on 11/01/2007, -4/+15I Knew it! Early on I was saying "I'm going to wait until the price drops and the hardware is revised before I buy a PS3." I'm just glad it happened so soon. Hopefully this system this Christmas season will unbury the needle of Playstation's demographic enthusiasm meter out from the "totally *****" zone and bring it into "cautiously optimistic". I think there are still a lot of people who want PS3's... the excitement is still there for many who have had their hopes and expectations dampened somewhat by the original price point, (which probably has everything to do with completely new hardware being rushed for a competitive launch in the first place) but now have the chance to get the system for the price they were hoping to pay (free from santa!!) originally and with a few more games to choose from. I still have hope for Sony. If the system does fairly well this season, the 3rd parties should be more inclined to develop software for it soon after, knowing their investment will have a better chance of yielding profits.
p.s. anyone who wastes energy wishing ill against sony's playstation franchise (or microsoft's xbox, for that matter) needs to get over themselves. A VIDEO GAME CONSOLE IS A TOOL OF ENTERTAINMENT, NOT AN OUTLET FOR EXERCISING PREJUDICE. - hiro, on 11/03/2007, -1/+12Fewer fans
- mywhitenoise, on 11/02/2007, -7/+17No, you're thinking of the Wii.
- xXGeechXx, on 10/31/2007, -1/+10Its infinitly quieter than whisper quiet.
- WhereAmI, on 11/02/2007, -1/+10The PS3 has sold just as well as the 360 in terms of launch date to present date(like PS3s launch to now, the same timeframe for the 360, its launch to however many days the PS3 has been out.) In fact, 5,590,000 PS3s have been sold.
- jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -0/+9Yes
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -0/+9Ratchet and Clank. System Seller.
- dsmx, on 11/02/2007, -2/+10Yep you can run an extra 60 Watt lightbulb now and still use less power than before.
- king_kobra, on 11/02/2007, -0/+8the ps3 is not failing or as you worded it " totally ***** " because in Europe and Asia the ps3 is outselling the xbox, it is only slow in north america, not sure why
- jacksons98, on 11/02/2007, -3/+11Since when is Blu-ray dying? It's outsold HD-DVD every single week of this year. Including the last few weeks when Transformers came out. You know HD-DVD's supposed savior. If anything you should be asking yourself why MS doesn't give you a Blu-ray option instead.
- pidge, on 11/05/2007, -0/+8I wish the 40GB model had 802.11n. It is pretty cool that the CPU has been shrunk. I love my 60GB model. Can't wait for 2008. GT5, MGS4, LBP oh my.
- mrsatan, on 11/02/2007, -0/+8This is an excellent move by Sony. The life of the PS3 will be extended and it also might save the lives of some of your other hot running components in the long run. Now that the PS3 is finally picking up some steam with some good titles it will see some better sales. It was smart move to make a cheaper model even if they had to gut a couple of the more minor features. I mean, who doesn't have a PS2 lying around somewhere to play games on? You would have to buy that stupid memory card adapter anyways so its not a total loss. Personally, when I get some money I am going to pickup one of these new ones, the only thing that irks me about it is the lack of more usb ports but that means just picking up a usb hub or something along those lines.
- inactive, on 11/02/2007, -0/+7That's what happens when hardware is made by a hardware company.
- acurism, on 11/03/2007, -2/+9Apparently you do!
- krische, on 11/02/2007, -1/+8Maybe because it isn't fact? The facts have stated that the PS3 outsold the 360 in 2007.
http://digg.com/gaming_news/PS3_outsells_the_360_b ... - krische, on 11/02/2007, -0/+7Seriously? I thought digg was supposed to have intelligent people on it. Do some research kid. Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Resistance. All good games, all exclusive.
- Topher06, on 11/02/2007, -0/+6A positive story about the PS3, look at how the xboys crawl out of the cracks to voice an opinion. I am surprised they have time to read Digg, or is Halo3 proving to be not all that its hyped about? Sony made a better more efficient model of the PS3 with only one less feature then the other models, that should be a source of so much hatred!!! Now if only Sony made this model fail 1 out of 3 times and required $300 in upgrades to be fully functional, perhaps Xboys would start buying the PS3's.
