I find it a tad too amazing that it manages to swing through the air and smash with the logo facing us. Either they shot this multiple times or else it was fixed in post is my guess. Not so hypnotizing. #sonyps3smashesintobraviatvat50mph
@Blair Slavin: Actually it seems logical that the base would turn towards the TV in flight due to the majority of the weight being located on the base of the PS3. It seems that they cleverly positioned the PS3 sideways so that it would turn in mid flight. #sonyps3smashesintobraviatvat50mph
Question: You mentioned the old ps3 (with no backward capacibility) can play ps2 game if it have a ps2 emulator? How about Linux OS installed, can it then play pc games? lets say something like Final Fantasy XI Online or World of Warcraft?
@SwahaDoomer: Yeah, but it's like a$60 Blutooth adapter that plugs into your PS3 and apparently comes saddled with a host of functionality problems that are yet to be ironed out in the firmware. Check Logitech's support forums before buying...
Wait what? Who is gonna really buy a $24 stand? I've never stood any console on it's side ever.
Also $100 for a new hard drive huh? It already comes with 120gigs! $100 will get you 500gigs. I popped a 7200rpm 160gig drive into my current PS3 for only $43 off Newegg.
Also the standby power is about half a watt. When the Slim SAVES 30-50 watts while operating over current ones.
Your list is really inaccurate in general and only considers the absolute worst case scenario that no gamer or bluray watcher is gonna care about.
@BaronAgrippa: My brother and I both use the vertical orientation. His PS3 comes out from behind his TV with the slot aiming slightly forward. It works VERY well. Mine sits in front of the swiveling "spine" that holds up a 52" flat panel, and gives the appearance that the TV is balanced on top of the PS3. I use a low-profile right-angle HDMI adapter and a right-angle AC power cord (custom-made) and the setup is just awesome. The new "slim" PS3 is actually deeper in one dimension, the orientation of the embossed logo is different, and the "PS" logo above the disc slot does rotate; all of which do not complement the vertical orientation with the new model.
Just a little note: the 80 gig PS3s that have four USB ports are the ones that have partial PS2 backward compatibility. The ones cut down to two offer no backward compatibility.
