Lol I am just messing with you. But console system link let you play coop games with two TVs (which I have in same room) and two consoles through ethernet cable.

Cool =)

@badgenome: I know who txrattlesnake's new alt account is.

He already posted in this thread and he's called jigsawlover23, he can't help himself lol.

Seriously don't do it! The 60GB chews through mega power, its FAR LESS reliable and it has no warranty. Slim, always slim... a 2nd PS2 would be a better bet, the power savings alone will pay for one.

Btw, just one question: What systems do the majority of your friends have who play online?

I have two friends with a Ps3, and about 4 or 5 have 360s. Some of them are planning to get a PS3 though. So I dunno. I know your a big Xbox 360 fan Squilliam, you stealth the hell out of the PS3 :). I think I read somewhere you had a brain disorder, its cool man, I made up my mind though :).

I read this forum alot.  Lots of people who own both consoles, but stealth the other, CGI is the only one I know who doesn't actually.  Squill and Meister kind cancel each othe rout.

Is this true?

The slim is 250w, the new phats are 280w. I think that the difference there is negligable. I'd say go with a new phat over a 60gb or a slim. The new 80gb phat is proven reliable, and the slim isn't. There is almost no power difference. The phats, also, are soon to be rare. The 280w 80gbs are ultra quiet, and pretty cool to boot.

The only real consideration I'd give to the slim is that IBM says the cell inside it might have a slight performance improvement, and we're not sure if he is referring to the clock speed or not. That said, really, is the cell the bottleneck here?

On the GPU: 

"Earlier consoles carried the RSX GPU developed jointly by Nvidia and Sony. Peddie said that the graphics core in the PS3 Slim has to be identical or similar to the RSX GPUs, otherwise existing games for the PS3 won't run on the new console."

That's my opinion. I don't think the phat has much improvement room left after the new 80gb models. However, I can guarntee that in 1 year(probably much less time), there will be a new model numbered slim that will make the launch models obsolete.

Thats cool, you should consider not getting the PS3 60GB because that model is near 3 years old and markedly less reliable than the newer ones whilst using a ton more power. So less reliability + more age means you're far more likely to have a problem with it.

The reason why I asked about what your friends have, is because of two things. You can play online with them (not lonely) and you can share games with them.

He can just go online and make new friends. 

That is how I met many of my loser friends on my PS3 friends list. I met them here on VGChartz.

Yeah, I saw that one, too. He always has multiple, like when MidnightRider85 and txrattlesnake were both arguing that Itagaki left Tecmo over DVDs.

The guy is sad.
