im extremely happy with my 60gb. the only way id upgrade is if they somehow improved update dl times with new models.
though i will be upgrading my hd one day.

ive read a fair bit about rumours on the net regarding ps3.
one rumour was that with how bad ps3 sales were, sony were planning on cutting ps3 short and bringing out ps4 much earlier than they usually release newer consoles.

another rumour was sony had a ad in the paper etc in japan for someone to work on making emulation cheaper and a next gen console.
speculation was that the emulation was to make the cheaper versions of ps3 to be able to play ps1/2 games.
and the next gen was speculated to be ps4 or psp2. but since then the psp3000 has been released so who knows.

and for those with no pc etc, you can go to eb etc and purchase there and you go home and put on your psp then....

yep confirmed, dl instead of umd. good sized inbuilt mem too, 16gb. most psp games are 300mb-800mb (some up to 1.5gb), so itd fit at least 10 decent sized games. i think gta lcs is around 500mb.

is that gt just a port of gt1 from ps1? they do that alot with psp games, just port it over to psp.
im also not a fan of the look of the pspgo, the slide out looks delicate.
also the psp3000 doesnt allow for pandora/magic mem stick trick. so pspgo wont either, it seems it operates off the same system. one rumour i read was this is the reason for sony going for dl games only.

psp will be d/l games through the software
if people can hack the iphone and get hacked apps to install on it, i dont see this as being any different

it was advertised as 2/3rds the size.
if it was a bus that was a third smaller, then yes you would expect a big difference, but a ps3 isnt that big to start with.

i think the important feature of the new ps3 is the price. at $499 there will be alot of kids with one under the tree this xmas.
