duplicate account confirmed... BAN!... ohhh caaaattttt

All work and no play.. makes odion go something something

Another thing. Will it have the same features? Or will it be like a gimped version of the current ps3?

 

So from what you're saying, I'm assuming that this will be more of a gaming machine, then an everything?

So now time to see if annon delivers :P

It'll still do 99% of the stuff the PS3s can do now. So your blu-rays will work, your media playback will work, etc.
To call it "gimped" is going way too far, it's more...refined? In fact, apart from the removal of OtherOS support and a few changes on the hardware level, it's more or less the same machine. Not really any different to Sony removing the various AV ports the old PS1s and PS2s had and didn't need.

But "new" features that some people might expect, like Backwards Compatibility with PS2 games and such, isn't going to happen with this model. I can't say if that'll happen in future or not, but I wouldn't hold my breath. You're not even going to get any more USB ports.

Bigger HDD's though ;)

As in no more than the current ammount or none at all? That wouldn't work seeing usb is needed for guitar hero, singstar, controller charging, and registering the official mic.

I blame toughNAME for FFXIII's 2010 US-Eu releasedate. :)

USB ports are needed for a lot more than that. Don't worry, you'll still have 2.

seems resonable, that can be increased with usb expanders anyways

Will we get private chat in 3.0? 

Private voice chat, you know it. Both in and out of game.

Now, what happens if next wednesday I'm right about FW 2.8?

You'll get a cookie. I know no one working in the games industry that will gamble his job over earning kudo's on just a forum on a gamessite somewhere at the internet.

So your 'inside info' and overall info about yourself is nonsense. If next Wednesday gives us fw 2.8 you accidently got the info somewhere, you have a great crystal ball OR your father is Kaz.

And what about the rest of the info? IF that's all correct and accurate, what would that make me?
