It’s amazing to think that this week the much fantasized about PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii will finally be available for purchase. Back in 2005, it seemed like this day would never come. Finally after Friday we’ll have to start calling PS3, 360 and Wii “current gen” instead of “next gen.” (Well, technically, anyway.)
Right now I’m a bit strapped for cash. I’ll probably have to live vicariously through the folks on the Interweb, but hopefully I’ll be able to get in on the fun soon.
I saw this video linked over on Engadget. I hear a lot of people talking about replacing the hard drive in their PS3s. Perhaps they might want to take a look at this video first. I can’t tell if the hard drive was the first or the 2nd item that was removed on the left. If my instincts are right, it was the 2nd piece that was removed from the casing. I dunno. To me, it’s going to take building up a lot of courage to open up that case. Hopefully there will be some way to just use external storage to add on. (And by that time, drives should be bigger and cheaper, anyhow.)
Very interesting video for those into tech and gaming. In the 2nd and 3rd video you see the unveiling of the Cell Processor and a huge heatsink and fan.
NOTE: There are four parts to the video — they’re linked to the same author and should appear to the right of the video.
