About
Fiat Mediocrity is a metal-loving Lazer Jesus in Round Rock, Texas.

When he's not working or sexing women that Jim Sterling could only wet dream of, he's cracking skulls and curbstomping foo's that need to break theyselfz.

Also, he really enjoys having his "close-minded" thoughts totally disregarded by "open-minded" people.

Yes, the title is somewhat misleading.

It's really just about the new 40GB PS3's having their Cell Processors made smaller to reduce power consumption, heat, and noise.

Also, no more backwards compatibility. The 60GB and 80GB models will follow suit.

Backwards compat has nothing to do with the smaller processors.

It's more to do with the EE chip not being on the motherboard. Then, now they're just removing that oh so expensive emulation software at this point.
dvddesign, I wasn't saying that it was due to the smaller processors, but I probably could have been more clear on it.
Efficient design?

The PS3 is bigger than my dog and costs more to run than my iMac every month. The Wii is efficient design.
dvd is right
I've roasted hot dogs after long matches of WarHawk on my PS3. It still runs like a champ though.
It's nice to see you post a news story that's a month or so old.
@ B-Radicate - Not like the link (assuming you actually clicked on it and read it, tard) talks about how it confirms this "old" news story. Not like the news story here came out today or anything, so your blasting remains valid.
Considering I didn't own a PS2, I really couldn't care less about the backwards compatability.
