Football,

I read earlier about you getting a 160 gb to replace your 60 gb that broke. I did the same thing. I agree that the 160 gb runs A LOT quieter, but I noticed that the disc is always warm when I take it out of the 160. The disc was almost always cool when I took it out of my 60 gb. This leads me to believe that it is hotter in the 160 gb than the 60 gb. I am curious if you (or anyone else) have experienced the same thing?

Same experience.

My assumption is that it has something to do with the new BR drives but I'm not sure. It seems the new ones spin a lot more than the old ones.

Yeah, I think I read somewhere that the motherboard is in a different location (closer to the drive) on the 160 which causes the warm disc.

Football, it's not hot by any means, but warm. Check it out next time you get a chance. I'm curious if you get the same thing.

Some Slim News.

Sony's PlayStation 3 Slim to debut August 18th at Cologne gamescom?

http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/04/sonys-playstation-3-slim-to-debut-august-18th-at-cologne-gamesc/

Whoa, Nelly! No sooner than we hear that Sony is informing Japanese retailers that the 80GB PS3 model won't be shipping any longer after August 8th, along comes this to stoke the raging rumor fires once more. In a one-two punch that just can't be coincidental, Sony has also hacked $50 off of its 160GB PlayStation 3 bundle from Amazon. But really, it's the report from RTLinfo that has us most excited. According to it, the Sony elite are informing European retailers of an impending €100 price slashing on the 80GB console, which will dovetail nicely into the sudden and not-at-all unexpected debut of the PS3 Slim at the gamescom expo in Cologne, Germany. Reportedly, the willowy unit -- which shouldn't differ much in terms of specifications and features -- will be properly introduced to the world during Sony's pre-event press conference on August 18th. Obviously we've no way to confirm or deny just yet, but given everything else that has transpired over the past few months, we'd say an official reveal is definitely due.

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Atleast to Gamecon to see if a price drop and the Slim is announced

**Eton Rifles** · 08-04-2009, 09:15 PM

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

yeah wait a bit. It appears we will be hearing something from GameCon.

**bkfount** · 08-04-2009, 09:33 PM

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

I'll be all on a slim, or even a price dropped fatty.

So you're going to hold out for a price drop by spending money on a 360???

How does that save you any money??

**NBA2k8 CHAMP** · 08-04-2009, 11:15 PM

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

$200 vs. $400.(If I wait could possibly be a $100 dollar save)

I think I'm going to break down and buy a used 40gb from the local pawn shop because of Madden 10 though.

Sell that and get a PS3 slim if the price goes down and it is BC

I'm gathering you have PS3 games, so what are you going to do, sell all your PS3 game and rebuy them or keep them?

**NBA2k8 CHAMP** · 08-05-2009, 12:51 PM

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

Keep.I'm going to get another PS3 in less than 2 months,Depending on the slim and mostly price cut announcement really.

I really don't like the 360 after having my PS3 seems cheap jmo.I haven't played GOW2 yet so I could beat that in the meantime.

**Blzer** · 08-19-2009, 07:55 PM

Re: Official PS3 Discussion Part III...

So what are the internal hard drives that work for the PS3? Some sort of SATA drive, right?

I'm looking for anything under $100, even if it's a terabyte hard drive or 750GB or so.
