Sony: PS3 Slim Could Have Been Slimmer, But Nah

[eyemaster]

[citation][nom]jamesedgeuk2000[/nom]Btw im in Europe so our PS3's have to convert down 220v which creates more heat than stepping down 110v[/citation]

I'm not sure about that, as the amperage comes into the equation as well, no?

If you want more storage at a good price you can always get an external USB hard drive. Create a partition and format it to FAT32. The max FAT32 partion you can create in windows is only 32MB but with software like Partition Magic you can expand the FAT32 partition up to 255MB by increasing the block size to 32KB. Works just like a Flash drive.

@wishtar : What the bleep are you talking about? First of all, we're talking about storage capacity of the PS3 versus it's size. Second, while you could go ahead and use a USB hard drive to expand that storage, FAT32 partitions are not limited to 32MB, but 2TB (2 097 152MB).

The Windows 2000/XP installation program and filesystem creation tool imposes a limitation of 32 GB. Must be what he was talking about.

[citation][nom]yodoso[/nom]internal PS's are BS, it was a decision drive by $$ just like almost everything. When your playstation is out of warranty and the PS goes out, instead of picking up a new one from your local store.........you'll have to send in your playstation to sony a a much larger expense.[/citation]
Oh yes, because I'm sure they sat around a table sipping lattes devising this master plan for a business model going "Yes, we shall be rich now with all these broken power supplies!"

Thanks for you efforts, Captain Conspiracy. But I think the rest of the posters at toms will take it from here.
