It also seems that the new 65nm version has some issue's as well.

 Only a few of the 65nm cores are out on the market.  I find it ridiculous that MS would make the same horrible mistake twice.  So i highly doubt that this guy's Eliteis 65nm.

super_etecon: The other advantage to waiting, is the next price drop! The disadvantage, if it's really that bad, class action lawsuit!

lol Fuzz...but a class action lawsuit only works for the lawyer filing it. I don't want to deal with any of that. In 2009 (When I will probably buy my next console) the PS3 may be less than $300 and have a few good games to play. Right now the 360 is winning in the game department, but if they don't get these hardware problems fixed then the PS3 will surely pass them up.



It seems like Sony is running a hurdles race without jumping right now though. How much good news has been comming out without some negative side effect!

Rumble is back! Awesome! Wait, in march? You have it now! What, it's a "Seperate" accessory? Like in the N64 era*? Dear lord, what the hell are you on?

*Since I tend to confuse people: The N64 rumble pack was a separate accessory that fit into the female slot of the N64 controller. The Dualshock 3 is not a card or chip, but a controller, yet it is not packed in with the console as it's standard, despite only a gain in functionality.



See Ya George.

The unreliability of the 360 could be the only thing that could save the PS3.

 Doubtful, the Ps2 had reliability issues (although I don't believe quite as extensively as the 360) yet it still sold insanely well, and when they broke, it only resulted in additional Ps2 sales due to the stellar library, right now the 360 has the best current gen library, and the pattern will continue unless a competing console can equal or surpass it in # of games and quality.

 

Hopefully the 65nm chips are much better.

 The PS2 is not the 360.  My initial comment about saving the PS3 was mostly a joke.  However, I don't think that comparing the initial launch woes of the PS2 to the two years running consistent problem with the 360 hardware is fair.  And what pattern are you suggesting....that the rebuys for the 360 will make it become the next PS2?  



Sorry dude....just think, if you hadn't bought them both, or at least if they hadn't both broke on you, you could have bought a PS3. Bought a 60 gig one around launch last year, works absolutely perfect. And if I recall, I read something about 33 percent of so of 360s being defective, or at least breaking very quickly.



                                   

Man I feel sorry for ya (this is still the reason that I don't buy a 360).







same with me, thats why I wont buy a 360.

 The 65nm version is just the CPU.  The problems are with the GPU overheating,  shrinking down the CPU to 65nm won't fix the problem.  The GPU is not getting a die shrink. I've seen this discussion on the forums at advancedmn.
