I know that the most recent models do not support ps2 games….I have read that sony said the ps3 simply does not have the power to emulate the ps2 cpu and the ps3’s gpu and still give the user a great gaming experience. Does this mean that my 60gig will be inferior to the current 80gig in terms of gameplay experience?

Colin FJ Davies asked:
Size and weight
As you would expect, the PS3 slim is a fair bit smaller and lighter than its bigger brother. The PS3 slim measures 290×65x290mm (width x height x length) and weighs in at just 3.2kg. This makes it around 32% smaller and 36% lighter than the previous model.
Power consumption
In today’s environmentally conscious society saving energy is more important than ever. Powerfull HD games consoles have been know to take a lot of power and create a lot of heat. Hot noisy fans are a testament to this fact. It is good news then that the new PS3 slim draws a maximum of just 250 watts of energy. This compares well with the previous model that drew a whopping 380 watts!
Faster cell processor
The PS3 slim has an entirely new processor. The new cell processor jointly developed by IBM, Sony and Toshiba, is said to be both faster, cooler and less power hungry than the previous PS3 CPU. This was confirmed by IBM, so it is more than just hearsay. For the end user this will obviously mean a cooler, less noisy machine, but they may even see some better frame rates in the most intensive games.
Sony Bravia integration
In an attempt to get more people to buy their Plasma / LCD televisions, Sony have given people a small but very cool incentive to buy from their Bravia range of televisions. All new Playstations now include Bravia Sync, this technology integrates the PS3 with Sony Bravia televisions. The extra functionality will allow PS3 slim owners to access the Playstation XMB (XrossMediaBar) with their Bravia TV remote and it will also allow them to put the PS3 and the TV into standby with a single button press on the TV remote.
Increased storage
Disk based storage is cheaper than ever before, so it is no surprise that Sony have upped the disk capacity on the PS3 slim. This could prove very useful given Sony’s vision of a download based future for games.
PS3 Vertical stand
New for the PS3 slim is a vertical stand that will allow you to mount the machine in a vertical position. This stand will be available for purchase separately, but it is expected to be quite cheap.
Price Cut
The PS3 price cut was a long time coming and it was a surprise for most people when they slashed the PS3 price along with the launch of the new model. At £249.99, the PS3 slim is £50 cheaper in the UK than it was previously. It’s still slightly more expensive than an Xbox Elite, but it does have a built in Blu-ray drive, onboard WiFi and more storage capacity than the Elite. So the PS3 slim does represent very good value for money.

Stephan Vrugteman asked:
Are you fighting with your Xbox 360 because it has the 3 red rings error? If you want to fix the problem, you’ll have to choose out of 3 options that I’m about to give you.
If you want your console fixed, you have 3 options: You either send your console over to Microsoft and let them do the job, send it to a repair shop, or you could actually fix the Xbox 360 with your own bare hands. It’s hard to choose… right? Let’s dig a little bit deeper into the options!
Fix my Xbox 360 3 red rings by sending it over to Microsoft?
This option can be good, but it’s really expensive and time consuming. When you do this, you’ll have to pay $150 if your warranty has been expired. Also, another downside that this option has is the waiting times. You’ll have to wait at least 2 weeks before it will be fixed, but some people had to wait for more then a month.
Fix my Xbox 360 3 red rings by sending it over to a Repair Shop?
This is an option that’s basically the same as sending your console over to Microsoft. Although, this option is slightly better because it’s a little bit cheaper and quicker.
When you do this, you’ll have to pay $75 in most cases. Also, you’ll have to wait at least 1 week, and it could go up easily to 2 weeks… So be prepared!
Fix my Xbox 360 3 red rings by…. Me?
That’s right! You could fix your Xbox 360 3 red rings error quite easily by yourself. It’s highly recommended to use a repair guide on this because it will take all the guess work out.
This option is the most cheapest and fastest option that’s around, so you might consider doing this. I’ve heard stories from people who have fixed their console within a day! It’s definitely do-able.

Aaron Brooks asked:
In the techie world the race for supremacy just got hotter with Sony computer Entertainment President Phil Harrison stating, “The Playstation 3 is a computer. We do not need a PC.” And, the news is that the PS3 has reached for new horizons it is not just a game console. Although many tech gurus are rooting for the Xbox360 here are a few reasons why the PS3 may gain an edge.
According to analyst Shawn Milne, even though Xbox360 will get a head start, the PS3 will outsell the Xbox every year after 2006. Bu 2010 the PS3 will according to predictions have sold 23.3 million copies in the US.
1. The PS3 can be used to see movies, play music, and surf the web.
2. The GPU is powerful and fast. The downside is that it is bound to be hard to program.
3. The memory is 256 MB XRD for the cell and 256 MB DDR3 for the GPU.
4. The PS3 has a dual Ethernet, built in wi-fi, Bluetooth, flash memory slots, and blue ray.
5. The PS3 has hardware that is more powerful than that of the Xbox 360 and will be able to produce real to life visuals.
6. The games in PS3 will be stored on Bluray discs which store 54 gigs while game space in the Xbox360 is just 9 gigs.
7. The PS3 will have international appeal and be popular with both foreign game developers and consumers. According to market whispers games on the PS3 are all set to be exciting and different.
8. The PS3 has immense expandability and connectivity options. The compact flash, SD card, memory stick, Bluetooth, USB you name it and the PS3 will say yes please. Designed to accommodate just about everything in the universe.
9. Visionary the PS3 aims for dual screen and 1080p support. The display technology is an eon ahead of any gizmo man has even dreamed of. Imagery will be synonymous with PS3. Imagine playing games like formula 1 racing and Killzone in panoramic splendor.
10. The HD IP camera peripheral or the EyeToy 2 will transmit crystal clear images over the internet as well as feeds over the Intraweb.
What is more the PS3 is designed to be backwards compatible and so you will be able to play games old and new. The PS3 will allow playing of games on the PS1 and PS2 libraries so, even with the latest console you can boot up old favorites like Tobal or Shattered Soldier are relive old times. According to CBSNews.com Tech Analyst, Larry Magid, “The graphics processor in the new Sony PlayStation is pretty impressive. It rendered images during the game that looked almost as if they came from a movie studio.”
PS3 is all set to make dreams reality. Imagine Metal Gear, Warhawk, Tekken, i-8, Gran Turismo, Killzone, and Dante among zillion other mind blowing games all coming alive! Whatever the whispers are about the reality will surface when the PS3 is launched and consumers get first hand experience.

The Xbox 360 red rings of death error indicate general hardware failure. You need not panic if you were to see the dreaded red lights flashing on your Xbox 360 console. There are some simple ways available to fix the error. In fact you can fix the problem on your own quite easily. Here are some simple methods using which you can fix the Xbox 360 red rings of death error and continue enjoying your favorite games.
1. The Xbox 360 x-clamp repair is one effective method to fix the Xbox 360 red rings of death error. You will need to open up the console though in this method. After you do so, you will need to remove the ‘x-clamps’ that you can find at the bottom of the motherboard. If you were to replace these clamps with simple bolts and washers, the pressure applied on the motherboard would be more even. One need not be a technical genius to try out this method. Almost anyone can try this method with the help of some simple household tools. This is one sure fire way to get rid of the dreaded Xbox 360 red rings of death from your gaming device.
2. The second method involves using towels to wrap up the console. The Ethernet, AV and USB cables located at the back of the consoles should be first unplugged as the first step in this method. The gaming device is then wrapped up using towels. The power supply to the console is kept turned on. The towels are unwrapped after about 20 minutes. This is one of the simplest Xbox 360 red rings of death fix available, that almost anyone can try.
The idea behind this method is that by overheating the system, some of the solder joints, that are present on the motherboard, that could have bent out of shape or cracked , would get realigned, helping to fix the error.

The Xbox 360 delivers the most powerful console, the next generation of Xbox Live, amazing digital entertainment experiences, and best of all, a flood of hot new game titles. The graphics are very realistic making this an excellent all rounder games console.
The Xbox 360, complete with wireless controller, is a sleek, customizable gaming and entertainment system which is much smaller than its predecessor. It uses a refined button layout for its controllers and can accommodate up to four wireless controllers whilst having three USB points. The majority of owners are having a great experience with their console and do so from day one.
Graphically, it is a leap forward as this little beauty can draw up to 500 million polygons per second to depict game scenes. To you and me that means the picture quality is just superb!
There are games that will take you to a dream world where you will have to save both the girl and world from the evil that is all around as in the game The Final Fantasy XI. And there are games that will get your heart raging the next time you are home alone in the dark thinking that there are zombies and evil nasties out there trying to get you such as in the game Resident Evil 5.
Grand Theft Auto IV is the latest title in the Grand Theft Auto series and the first to appear on the Xbox 360. It is enjoying huge success at the time of writing and a game you should certainly look into for yourself.
Xbox 360 is considered by some to be the best console offering the most choice in gaming and entertainment experiences with a carefully selected range of high quality accessories.
