george foreman's grill!!!!!

So sandwich maker or foreman grill, take your pick!

why not best buy or futureshop? they've had pre-orders up since it was announced


Futureshop and Bestbuy list the release date as Aug. 26th btw... wonder if they listed it wrong since release is supposed to be Sep 1st? or are we (north america) getting it sooner

foreman grill is the shit, GREASE FREE!!!

KNOCK OUT THE FAT! POW!!!

^ you could probably grill stuff on a 360 heatsink :P

it will burn the eggs u try to pan fry on top of it

I haven't played any video games for the last oh say 5 years.. So all you PS3 guys:


For $300, do you think this would be a decenty blue ray player? Slim or fat better? I know jack shit about gaming, but I do think the older version does look sleek. Much better than any other console.

But, if the slim is a better blue ray player, I'll grab that

there should be no difference in the playback ability of these two versions and yes $300 for a Blu-ray player + gaming console is a great deal.

I would, however, wait for some bundle deals to come out near x'mas time, since $299 is the "regular" price and discounts are bound to happen near the holiday season.

FYI I use my PS3 for games 50% of the time and for BD/DVD the other 50%.

There's already a PS3 slim bundle in Japan coming out its a Gundam bundle

PS3 slim Commercial in Japan.

my tip for those on the fence is to wait for full hardware reviews that probably wont be around until mid september

dont rush buying one now..i doubt sony will keep the stock low
i think the best time to get it is at the end of oct when you get enough comparsion, probably 2nd mass shipment and right before the holiday rush

Damn. I want one.

its not loading for me but here it is on youtube (nothing happens when i hit play)

Endgadget says the chip might be faster

^ if the slim is actually faster, not just faster per watt, don't expect to be able to find out til all the old fats are sold off.

Well the PS3 is already the best BluRay player you can get, and I doubt the BluRay playing abilities of the Slim are different from the Fat as they haven't said anything about a new drive. If you have an intense enough setup where you could notice small differences maybe wait until a teardown to see exactly what drive is in the new one. If you don't, pick up a Fat as you prefer the look and have a wicked 80GB media machine.

but but but newer is bettaaa

at least thats my mentality

:)

PS3 Slim Bitstreams lossless codecs Dolby True-HD and DTS-HD MA

Pretty pointless feature

yeah but people have been bitching about it ever since launch

they want to see their receiver say "Dolby TrueHD" and "DTS-HD MA" instead of MPCM

I like how they put "it has long been argued". There is no argument to make. Once it's decoded, it's decoded. 1's and 0's will be identical, no matter what device was used to decode it. There is no such thing as a "better quality decoder". The data is always the same.

GRRRRR People are so fucking stupid sometimes.

where can we give feedback for PSN? I hate that we can't download and play games at the same time like xbox. No background downloading is gay.

^^^ i thought they changed that so you could... could swear i remember playing and downloading


a bunch of people with like $10s of thousands of dollars of equipment swear they can hear slight differences when their unit decodes it

same argument as analog outs for each channel instead of using hdmi

^ and the clowns that use still use tube amps. it always seems to be the people who love sound yet know absolutely nothing about the circuits behind it that make these claims.

nah you can't. I've tried this many times, the moment u start a game the download stops.

It's settled...XMAS time i'm getting the slim...naughty or nice..fuck it...i'm getting it.
