They're probably gonna release PlayStation 3-D this fall.

You never know, though.

I find the complaints that the PS3's 3d will be comprimised to be FUD or at least based on nonsense, but perhaps there is an HDMI 1.4 + ARC PS3 coming.

Maybe PS2 backwards compat. is coming back (OK, that ain't it). Something big could be coming. If Sony plays their Arc and 3D cards right, they will flip this console war on its head, or at least make some money.]]>Feb 12th 2010 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/
Yes, I already read the post about a firmware update for current systems this Summer.

What does that have to do with a PlayStation 3-D coming this fall?
The system could be updated already and come with 3-D glasses in a bundle.]]>Feb 12th 2010 7:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/

That kind of thing is always a possiblity. It amazes me that MS would release a console they knew would fail a substantial part of the time. It's insane.

If Sony is having a hard time stocking shelves because of Cell yield (this is unlikely at this point), then that means they aren't selling broken consoles like MS did.

This isn't meant to be fanboi... the 360 is kickass now and reliable. But the philosophy of rush rush rush really damaged the xbox brand.]]>Feb 12th 2010 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/
Yes I agree, my friends call me all the time telling me their 360 just got the RROD and its out of warranty (or warranty voided cause they modded it) and want me to fix it.

I've never seen the newer ones (Jasper) RROD, they finally fixed the issue with a second wave of die shrinks (GPU 90nm -> 80nm -> 65nm).

With MS is was never a yield problem, it was inadequate cooling of the GPU causing the board to warp, causing the BGA solder connections to crack (since everything uses crappy brittle lead-free solder these days). Die shrink of the GPU fixed the cooling problem.]]>Feb 13th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/Feb 12th 2010 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/Feb 12th 2010 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/Feb 12th 2010 7:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/12/sony-says-ps3-supply-will-be-tight-over-the-coming-months/

You're just passing along what you heard. Right? And so was he. It's still FUD, even though that's how viral marketing works. Get people asking questions and all that. Sadly, a major facet of marketing today. Just because you heard from a good person doesn't mean they aren't repeating myths.

The PS3 has a pretty darn low failure rate.

Is pretty funny, i too known a lot of people that own a xbox360 but there are a lot more that own a wii than xbox360 + ps3 altogether.

May be, xbox360 users are more noise/annoying then they are more visible.
