Finally, I'm gonna buy my Ps3 tomorrow. But I need some advice. I can get the 60gb model and the 80gb one (with motorstorm).

What's the difference between the two? I mean, besides the obvious, does the new processor makes any difference in performance than the emotion processor?

I'm worried that some games will run smoothly with the new processor than the emotion one.

I don't care about reto-compatibility since I already have a PSX and Ps2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Thanks for the advice. When I said "worried about games running smooth" i meant Ps3 games. I have no idea of the Ps3 hardware and I kinda got the idea that the new model would improve the game's performance.

But that's good to know. I'll go with the 60gb model then since I don't care about Motorstorm and I don't think paying an adittional $100 just for the hard drive is a good idea.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Is the dual shock 3 going to use some kind of special batteries? I can imagine recharging that damn thing every 2 hours.

BTW, I bought my Ps3 with Heavenly Sword yesterday (not that anyone cares anyways). It will be arriving in 4 weeks though

I just hope that the people from customs don't replace it with bricks or something. I'm totally terrified about the shipping.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ohhh man, I don't want to see the look of his house.

A few days ago my Ps3 arrived. But I was soooo lucky that I got a defective one. Yep, my worst fear became true. It seems that the GPU is defective or something. If anyone knows something about this let me know:

Spoiler:

I'm doing my best not to return the console, since the international shipping cost is very high. But if it's the gpu, i have no other choice but to return it.

How are the odds? Really?!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

But my Ps3 is new and I won't buy another one since 600 dollars for american people is like 1800 dollars for us. It's a 60gb model. I need to send it back so it can be replaced for another one (and i will need to pay the freaking shippment again). The shipping is not THAT high, but it's a pain in the ass to wait for another two months for my new ps3.

It's very strange all this. I've found only one video of a guy with the same problem. I didn't find any other ps3 with the same issue.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I tried HDMI, composite and component. I also updated to firmware 2.0

If I turn the ps3 on and leave it downloading demos, it doesn't freeze. I left it for 6 hours and worked great. But when I start messing around with the XMB or try to play ANY demo or game, the system freezes and starts to make all those pixel noise. Sometimes I can still hear the music and sound effects, but after a few minutes it completely freezes. I can play for 10 minutes before it freezes.

There is no overheat at all and I don't have any elecricity problems in the house.

I believe that there is definitely something wrong inside the machine since i tried everything.

Or as Megalith said, it could just be a plastic figure doing the interference

This is a video from a guy who had the same problem: Click

Anyways, I'm sending it tomorrow.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Uhhh, welcome to my world. I had the same issue with my new Ps3. It froze everywhere. I tried everything to make it work, but nothing happened. I usually got like a "matrix screen" after it froze.

I had to send it back. It had a defective GPU, so there was nothing I could do about it.
