I too, am a Sony fan. Also an ATI fan, but we can't have everything can we? Sony has better games and more games (I think). While everything concerning the next-gen systems looks fantastic, it was the same way before the current generation of consoles came out. Both, nay, all 3 systems will be great. What will drive the systems will be the games that are released. System excusivity with the games will sell the systems. At least at first.

What I am looking forward to is what Square-Enix will do with the PS3. Final Fantasy XIII anyone?

The original psones had lots of problems. For example, they skipped like crazy in certain games and would not display on Zenith TVs. A friend of mine had to send his into sony because it was skipping so badly that it eventually stopped reading the discs or made games unplayable. After he had it "fixed" by sony it was still broken and he had to buy a new psone. I think that early psones had more problems then that but I can't remember them. Oh yeah, wasn't it amusing how some peoples would only run on there side of upside down after a few years?

Sort of like most defects I'm sure it didn't happen with every console, but it did happen to a few of the ones that my friends bought at launch. My PS2 and dreamcast (both of which I bought on launch day) have never had any problems, but that doesn't mean that the first generation models like mine didn't have there fair share of defects.

here is some PS3 news:

Sony Considers 2005 PS3 Release

A company rep hints at the possibility of a release this year.

by Anoop Gantayat

May 12, 2005 - In a surprising twist on the next generation hardware race, a Sony representative has stated that a year 2005 release for the next generation PlayStation is a possibility. Responding to questions from Jiji news service, Sony Chief Financial Officer Takao Yuhara states, "For the year end sales season, simultaneously building up both the PlayStation Portable system in America and Europe as well as the next generation PlayStation is one option that we have."

Most industry speculation calls for a next generation PlayStation release in 2006. Sony's third party developers have backed this assumption up with a strong list of PlayStation 2 titles planned for the rest of the year and early next.

The state of the next generation PlayStation software shown at next week's E3 show should reveal if a 2005 release is a possibility for the new system, or if Yuhara's comments were designed to take some steam out of Microsoft's Xbox 360 unveiling later today.

So I am guessing that is 12:00PM PST. Man I can't wait to see this. I wonder if they are going to release the specs or anything technical about it. I want to see what version of the Cell they will be using and also if they are going to use the Blu-ray/HD-DVD hybrid.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
