Wasn't the ps3 an 8 core cell chip running at 3.2GHz or something. And people are saying it's outdated?whilst still waiting for bulldozer. I think the chips power hasn't been harvested yet fully for sure maybe 1/4th.

its not 8 core like you think... granted it has great ability to calculate things, but its not a standard 8 core implementation. correct me if im wrong but to take advantage of it, you have to program where data gets set in software to which cores and so on. this method works wonders for things like super computers, where crap is already made that way, but in a game environment... it holds it back a bit, not power wise, but programing for it wise.
 
This NEEDS to happen. I have a red Wii and a red XBOX 360 elite. A red ps3 would round out the trio. I already have a PS3, but my best friend has had it for almost two years (I live on a ship and didn't want to bring it) ... so he could just have it. 😱)
