Oh well, I guess I can't retire my PS2 just yet.]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
I'm in awe that the highlight of the "most powerful" game machine ever is that I can run Folding@home on it. Uh, I can do that on the piece of crap PC I have in my office.

I've said once, and I will say it again...I'm not let down by the PS3 as a fan of Sony, but rather as a fan of gaming.]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
Removing the EE also removed a lot more, like the RAMBUS chips. The GS won't do so much, though collectively with the enhancements like 65nm, it certainly adds up.]]>Nov 7th 2007 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
hahaha hmmm

Okay move along ... *SOB*

I would get this SKU if the PS3 had an explosive games library.]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
I am so glad that I waited to buy a PS3 - future purchasers will have a real Library of games to choose from, DUAL SHOCK SIXAXIS and 65 nm chips.

There really is wisdom in patience. ]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:17AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
for XBOX 360 it's a faze-in, you can't tell which xbox has 65nm {well hopefully the arcade pack does}

and the elite is a faze-in, when it came it was still old.]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
hmm, appparently you can, if you look closely into the side. if there is an additional heatsink, then your good to go ;)]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
As for the ps3, there are people who will buy it because they like the feature and games and there are some who will never be satisfied no matter what.Personally I think its worth waiting for a game that has your interest, by the time that arrives im sure it will be at least cheaper.

well actually you're entitled to check if everything is in the package. so the store should let you do it! ;) ]]>Oct 30th 2007 11:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
all this new hardware and only one or two good first party titles... hmm.

now I just need see "little big planet"
and "home"
and "MGS4"
and "KILLZONE"
and "Heavy Rain" http://www.quanticdream.com/#rain (no news!? -sigh; Q3-2008)
and "FFXIII & vs"

then I can finally pick one up.

PS3 is starting to get good games but, the problem is, most of those games were already available on 360. Now, the gap will be tightened and manufacturers will be releasing ports on all systems simultaneously. MGS4 will be a killer app for PS3 and move systems.]]>Oct 30th 2007 11:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/anyone who witnessed the evolution from MGS2 to MGS3 just knows MGS4 is going to be great.
MGS4 is a "$500" game {worth the hardware purchase}.

I'm just disappointed in Sony for not taking more responsibility {or such a slooooooooow pace in making their console a success and they lost a lot of their exclusive deals.

Insomniac Games: right now the only reason to buy a PS3 for games.

COD4 isn't an exclusive {I think}

HAZE, and drake look awesome too though.

just waiting... -sigh]]>Oct 30th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
That being said, I want one.... Still. R&C is fun and MGS4 looks absolutely amazing. I don't let my jaw drop looking at videos very often, but those gameplay ones really got me drooling.]]>Oct 30th 2007 10:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
The xbox needs the lower power chip just to keep the damn box alive and shrink the power brick some (maybe).]]>Oct 30th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 11:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
the power consumption reduction is impressive in the PS3

wish I could find X360s with a "65nm" & "improved reliability / no 3-RED-LED-RING-O-DEATHing" & "Cooler, Quieter" stickers: so I could play "Mass Effect" {if it is 5 stars, I think it will be}

oh well looking forward to "Mario Galaxy"]]>Oct 30th 2007 1:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
I meant that it's so lol-worthy that there was fanfare, because of the high failure rate, on the 360.]]>Oct 30th 2007 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
It cuts the things I don't need, thereby cutting price. And then it ADDs a cheaper, quieter, cooler console
AND
Better wireless and BT range and functionality (remember the FCC page?)

I'm very happy. I'm planning on buying this next week :)]]>Oct 30th 2007 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 3:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
But then again I recall the 360 having the same problem initially. I'm hoping Christmas and spring will bring some more good titles.]]>Oct 30th 2007 11:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/

Maybe they should look at improving other areas since this doesn't seem to be working for them...]]>Oct 30th 2007 11:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 31st 2007 5:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 12:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 11:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/
They've got a CCG that you don't even need a console to play, a racing game, and an action game that by all accounts takes about 5 hours to finish?

As to it having a button battery now, it always had one. Take a look at the take aparts from day 1.

I'm kinda torn now. I love my BC 60GB, but I'd love to have a quieter, cooler and cheaper to run PS3 also. Reducing the power usage by 1/3rd is going to make a big difference.]]>Oct 30th 2007 1:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/Oct 30th 2007 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/30/40gb-ps3-features-65nm-chips-lower-power-consumption/FYI USB is 5V, 500mA DC per port.
