haha, i was waiting for someone to say that.
i wonder if they will break the 360 record (around 6 months)

I think I remember hearing that Sony is going to allow Linux to run on it for free.

I wonder why they went w/ the 5400RPM HD instead of the 7200RPM. Maybe it's quieter? Can you clone the contents of the default HD to a faster HD?

True that one is only 8mb cache.. older gen. 7200RPM @ 16MB Cache would be up to date

most likely the 5400rpm is used to keep the heat down.

So their cooling system sucks? Come on now

I did see that their demo unit overheated at some Jap Expo

i saw one at the target today. the kiosk had a mini crowd around it. some kid was playing a racing game i think it was rally racing, dont know what game it is though

the graphics are meh. not that better than the 360. i was amazed by Gears of War on the 360
