PS3 Performance Downgraded Again
Heartless Gamer writes "The PS3's performance has been downgraded again, according to the Inquirer." From the article: "We can't tell you why the GPU lost nearly 10% of it's clock, it could be an NVidia screwup, or it could be Sony/Cell. Either way, it just became much less of an overwhelming value, but you get a DRM infected drive for 'free' either way." Interesting, but keep in mind this is The Inquirer. 9 out of 10 doctors recommend salt with their articles. Relatedly, the choice comments from Penny Arcade this past weekend about Sony's console are wandering around the internets today. From that article: "We've already talked about it, there's no chance we're buying a PS3 at launch."
maybe this downgrade will affect the PS3 price to make it more competetive compared to Wii and 360?
If you aren't far left by the age of 18 you have no heart. If you aren't far right by 30 you have no brain.
The P3 might become a flop of E.T proportions.
Belief is the currency of delusion.
directly from the article...
You teh sux0r 2 sae teh PS3 is not going to teh r0x0r! Yew lie, yew 360 luvr. U teh sux! U maek thing up, go die!!!1111one!1!!!1 heheheheh
This is part of a larger Sony initiative. Lower expectations across the board, with all demographics. Once expectations have hit rock bottom, it's easy to exceed them! Imagine if Sony were to drop the price by $50 or increase clock speed by 5%.

We can't tell you why the GPU lost nearly 10% of it's clock, it could be an NVidia screwup, or it could be Sony/Cell. Have they checked for a rootkit?
Given the crap that Sony Officials have already talked about PS3, I'd take your comment here with a pinch of salt roughly the size of Uranus.
I want a good box, with good games.
And you're buying a PS3?

Sentient marshmallow chicks? Or is that some use of peep as a noun that I am not aware of?

Whew. That was a close one! I thought you were crab-meat for a minute there.
I'm sorry, what were you saying? I was distracted by all the laughter^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H... err... action.
Javascript + Nintendo DSi = DSiCade
Exactly, even if PS3 does poorly, they have huge laptop battery sales to Apple and Dell to make up for it.
now, now... don't you mean... "SUPPLIES!" ?
Sony just needed to cut cost to pay for the pending exploding battery law suits.
Lets see what's In the box...
Nothing!
Stu-paaaaaaaad! You're so Stu-paaaaaaaaaad!
I still think they should make a game, somewhat like Lego Star Wars, where everything is Peeps, Chocolate Bunnies, and Rubber Duckies.
I can see it now:
Luke Peepstalker: You can't be my father, I'm an edible marshmallow chick!
Darth Ducky: Luke, search inside your soft marshmallow heart, you know that I am your father! Plus, see these nifty red devil horns? I'm a Devil Duckie too!
Luke: Noo!
[Darth chops off Luke's yellow marshmallow hand and eats it. Yum!]

A loss of $2.60? Surely some worker could save the company by skipping lunch!
I'm scared of numbers that can't be written as a fraction. It's an irrational fear.
I would have used Pluto, but that poor guy just doesn't carry the clout he used to :(

In the mean time, I'll be playing with my Wii. hehe
You can kiss my shiny metal 2003 UB313-sized ass!
well - if you know who wrote the book, you could get a clue ;)
I for one welcome our new Sony Peep Overlords, even if they're only 90 percent as filling as advertised on the package!
I'm sure people said the same thing about the Titanic and Enron.

Oh, don't worry -- the GT-R is coming to the US. It's just not here quite yet because Nissan has to finish making it butt-ugly first.
In other words, you're right: Nissan does hate us!
