black32. the ps3 is not overpriced, it is priced correctly, go and buy all the units that the ps3 can do as per its specs for under 1000, that and i got my ps3 for 850. 2ndly the games are awesome, and to that, the games at the moment are only using 30 percent of cell's capability. so in september they expect those games to use close to 50 percent and next year hopefully with pro evo 2008 the console will be made most of its own resources by developers.

microsoft knows that the ps3 will overtake it eventually, ps2 alraedy won the xbox vs ps2 war because it was just so popular, but now xbox has released its console early to compete with the ps3 but the ps3's technology is so far more advanced.

yes I have a hd tv, and yes you need one to witness how good it is. if u have an xbox360 how dissapointed were u for being lied to about having a HDMI output on ur console, HDMI ftw. and blueray, you can tell the difference between a blueray and a dvd at 1080p. indeed. the winner is ps3, at the moment xbox360 is only winning because ppl couldnt wait for a next gen console when it was released.

pauly please don't embarrass yourself anymore.

I can easily spec a ps3 for under 1000 dollars. It's called buying a US or Japanese unit. Or you could buy a korean unit get a bigger HDD standard and also pay less. Or you could get the aformentioned US or Japanese unit and receive what we were promised in the form of a EE and GS chipset.

Your take on the games is "subjective" not "objective" the launch was quite weak with no AAA quality titles. That is a fact check the reviews worldwide. Yes games on a whole are more down to personal taste but looking at them objectively not 1 single game at the ps3 launch improves on what has already been done.

And black32 what the hell are you talking about? I've made no mention of game prices. I've paid over 3x that much for games on the Neo Geo so 100 dollars for a game seems pretty good to me.

And to get use of the eye candy you do need a high definition display your an idiot if you don't believe that.

And as i've mentioned numerious times i am a sony fanboy at heart. I'm just not stupid enough to beleive the crap sony has been sprouting the past few years.

how can u say u dont need HDMI when its the only way youll get 1080p on high def monitors.... you are crazy kralster. HDMI is going to be a standard, as its just been proven to be so good. its not sony promising bullshit, what have they said about the ps3 that has been bullshit apart from a few things that could probably be fixed with better firmware...

Yes you do notice a great jump in clarity with 1080p than viewing it on ur old dog rumpus room tv u bought for 82 dollars at a garage sale...

and how the f**k have i embarassed myself by displaying general knowledge? microsoft said xbox will have hdmi... but it doesnt. great. i feel embarassed now.

Why are we talking about HMDi all of the sudden? i see no mention of it anywhere in this thread.

HDMi is not the best either espcially for carrying audio. You will be hard pressed to find anything that sounds better than a good quality balanced imput, or a coaxial digital cable.

Microsoft never said the 360 would have HDMi either so i don't know where you got that. They in fact said that it wouldn't be neccesasary on the 360. I do agree though that it would of been wise to have the option of both an AV multi out and a HDMi on the 360, the same as on the ps3.

Also i hate to break it to you but 1080P can be done over component cables. (you may wanna research stuff before you say it) The 360 has been doing it since Febuary. And the ps3 has been able to do it all the time. The biggest problem is finding a screen that accepts 1080P over component becasue a lot do not.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
