Gamemasters Help Me Out!

Is there any major difference, besides the obvious, between the "old" PS3 and the new 120G PS3? Processor speed, anything? Thanks.

theres no emotion engine or gpu chip on the new boards. You wont be able to play any of your old ps2 games. Also they went to a smaller nm process on the newer chips. Ought to be cooler running and more reliable. (Not that we needed it) if you really needed the space id just swap harddrives. Its easy, pretty cheap, and wont void your warrantee. You could even serve your elitist top of the line needs by swapping in a solid state drive. Big money though

Well, I think that the new PS3 looks a lot better than the old unit so I was looking for an excuse....besides, I'm considering some sort of streaming device in the bedroom...probably a Samsung Blu Ray that streams Netflix and is WiFi... of course for that money, I can almost buy a new PS3 and put the old one in the bedroom

Yea but the PS3 is in the living room... I have my old Dell 1721 but it only has a S-Video out... Dang, I don't know... btw have you played with a PSP Go yet? Kinda cool, works great as a Skype phone too. Download only is a small negative in a way.

You know, this thread was going to be proof that tigger was going to break his PS3 to get a new PS3. Dave you fucked up an opportunity to see this happen. Good job....
