Now this guy lives in the ultimate fanboy's wetdream world..lol

Oh shit guys, dont post on gaf abour your 2nd+ PS3 at home or else!!! I remember back when the 360 had really bad Rrods and this guy bought 11+ 360s... ELEVEN.(before 3 yr warranty stuff) I think most 360 owners own more than one. Are they fanboy's? No.

Also great job cakefoo!
I have a 360 and I only have 1. Most people I know only have 1 360. Starting with the falcon 360 is better than the old ones.(most 360 owner I know are not like this guy.)
When I buy my new ps3 will buy whatever system they have in the store. Right now my friend is looking for some good deals on the ps3. By the way is the Slim PS3 fake or not? I know there is fake pic going around on the net. is sony going to do a price cut or not. should a buy a ps3 now or wait?

The PS3 Slim is real and it's likely coming out this year. Most people here believe it will be announced August 18 along with a new price for the PS3 - $299/€299

being engraved into the case in the same way as the model you initially created. Not that I'm asking again. :p

It looks just like an old PS3. Why not just buy a fat?
Cooler and quieter?



For the record, I prefer the mock up with the Homoarakhn font. Would like to see it with just the "PS3" in the same orientation as the first mock up but in the Homoarakhn font.

What I'm trying to say as well.
 
The new font fits the slim's shape better and helps differentiate the slim from the old PS3.

I've got a launch PS3 and may buy a slim when it hits $200.

As a web developer I'm sorry to say that I fucking hate you and people who still use IE6 for no good reason. I can understand corporate requirements, but if you are free to upgrade or use another browser please please please do so.
I'd say that 40% of the time spent of the new version of my site's html/css was lost over IE6's compatibility. I still can't believe how long it took us to find that zoom: 1 bug fix so some elements of the site would stop moving around the layout by themselves (really, they would be in different places every time the page loaded, and resizing the browser window would have them go back in place). Needless to say there is no way in hell the next version of the site will support IE6. I'm not even sure I'll take the time to support IE7.
By I digress, back to the SLIM.
(I still hate you though).

Don't be too hard on him. I think it's great that a special person like him is even able to use a computer. God bless him!

Because it's not slim. I need a slim. I am sick of having a fat, fucking loud as a train if you get a non-quiet one. :(

Don't know about you, but my launch 60gb PS3 is as quiet as a mouse.

You're lucky. Mine was loud as a train, and I am not alone. When PS3s get loud, they get extremely loud.

You should see all the 360 owners that buy multiple 360s in case theirs breaks. Now that is what is pretty amusing.

I would be willing to bet a lot of those are the same people who were buying multiple ps2's last gen for the same reason :lol

True, but not quite as loud as a jasper 360. That thing was like a vacuum cleaner.

Still, due to it s awesomeness, it can be forgiven. At least it is not the loud roaring fan of a loud PS3. I miss having a PS3, come out already slim!

It has nothing to do with luck. 80GB models that are sold now are very silent. Launch 60GB on the other hand could get really loud. I actually traded in 60GB for 80GB for that exact reason, and I don't regret it for a second.
 
The thing I will say about the Dreamcast is that it knew it had noise and it fucking had it for real. It was real, manly noise that made you sit up and take notice. It was an ethereal noise, like the voice of god himself.

It may well be louder than the 360 and PS3, but the noises from those consoles are wuss noises by comparison. If you're going to be loud, do it right.

Uh...What part about it do you like? The constant security threats? Lack of any standard web compliance? No tabs? Incredible slowness? Terrible rendering?

Or is it that you're bringing down everybody else by using it?
Contrary to what you might think, IE6 works better for the sites I typically visit. I also prefer the way it displays images, the smoothness of the vertical page scroll, the lack of tabs, and the general speed of it. I realize that this probably sounds really backwards to you, but I am telling the truth. And I have plenty of experience with Firefox (I use it roughly five hours/week at college) and I'm actually typing this right now with Chrome at work. I've also tried IE7 but I actually like it least of the four browsers I just mentioned. For me, IE6 really is the sweet spot.

But this probably isn't the thread for this kind of a discussion. ;)

It's not listed under their account. Sony wouldn't have an "account" like a regular vendor that sells through Amazon does. It's just classified as a product by them. It's not definitive one way or another because there are plenty of unannounced and years away games and movies on Amazon that have similar "other products by" labels beneath them that link to all other products from that company.

it is not listed as another merchant/seller item, but as Amazons, and product by SCE.

You are saying i can list pink dildo as product by SCE and sold by Amazon, if I wanted it so?

i know it sucks to be a developer but you know thats what developers gets paid for :D.
Our new site didnt work properly under IE6 and our web devs told me that it doesnt matter as nobody uses IE6, and then I got this cool idea to check ACTUAL stats for our site and found out that around 50% of our traffic use IE6. And guess what, they got it fixed in 30 minutes, lazy bastards :D

Jaspers are loud, or is yours defective? I have a quiet Falcon, so I wouldn't know.
It all depends on the type of fan you get. Microsoft use three different brands. One quiet, one high pitched, one hoover.

Yuck

Glad they're ditching spidey font all together in favor of the curvey PS3 slim font, which matches the console's design better.

I know this is slightly off topic and I'm not helping by quoting this but it's really true. If you're using IE6 by choice then at the very least get IE7/8.

Wow Sony, how did you not go with this instead?

By completely ditching the spiderman font what are they going to do with the ps3 game cases? Or maybe they aren't ditching it and this new curvy slim font is meant to be an addition to the three or four fonts they already have.

I wonder about the "Playstation" icon. It seems to be in a different orientation than the "SONY" on that part of the case.

Weeks of speculation remain though !!!

read the fucking manual!
