Wasn't there 12 or 13 revisions to the PS2?
There was PS2 revision like the slim model but :
1/ there were all the same capacity
2/ can play similarly all the game
3/ no new feature
and there was never 2 sku PS2 sold in the same time
(hope I dont say BS ...)
Time to Work !

I mentioned this just now to a few friends "on the edge" of buying a 360 and this definitely helps Microsoft's case. Assuming these are the 65mm chips? (I'm dumb, but thats the case right?) then hopefully this will eliminate much of the RROD problem. |
yes...now it's finally time for the more stylish Blue Ring Of Death (BROD for friends)...joking :)
seriously: does this really mean that the "holy-grail-65nm-CPU" has finally come?
44.2 M 
27.1 M 
20.8 M
Rumors before were that the Falcon would have HDMI and 65nm chips, so it's probably very likely they they indeed have 65nm chips but I guess we'll have to wait until someone cracks one open to verify it.

You did say BS...
The slimline added built in ethernet, so I'd say that counts as option 3.Â
The first versions of the PS2 in japan did not have the expansion bay for the internal HDD or ethernet adapter. Furthermore, these same models lacked the parts needed to decode a DVD, so you had to have some code copied to your memory card to play DVD's. Again, I'd say this counts as #3.
Different models of the PS2 also have different levels of BC, and even PS2 games. It was fairly highly publicized in the blogs when a new revision of the slimline came out that couldn't play several PS2 games at all. Same can be said of PS1 BC. I'd say this counts as #2
PS2 has no internal storage, so should #1 count? Technically, the PSX is a derivative of the PS2 that offers internal storage by default.
Essentially the PS2 has gone through many hardware revisions, just like the move to falcon with the 360. Similarly, the PS2 had the dreaded DRE fixed as I'd assume the new 360's have the RROD fixed.Â

Back on topic.
Legend, I decided to create a new thread because this was semi-offical at the time and far ahead of the rumor date.
Once it's confirmed to be 65nm, I'll buy a new 360 to replace my x-clamp fixed launch unit.

As of August 8th 2007, the 360 is still in the lead...
So until the Wii does pass the 360 I will not change my prediction. (just wait another week)
