Breaking Down the Dropping Parts Cost for Sony's PS3
will_die writes "The people at iSuppli have taken apart an October 2008 version of the PlayStation 3 to create a bill of materials, along with providing a comparison to original PS3. The article provides information about the changes Sony has made. One of the big ones was that the hardware has gone from costing $690.23 to the current price of $448.73. This was done using a combination of removing parts (currently 2,820 vs. the original 4,048), cutting the cost of the CPU ($46.46 vs. $64.40), and cutting the cost of the graphics processor to $58.01 from $83.17."

Whoa, so the Cell processor IS the graphics processor? Yo dawg, I heard you like to compute so I put a processor in your processor!
*woooosh*
Let's all take a moment to apologize to Bobtree for his wasted time clicking on this news story.
Sorry Bobtree.
Similes are like metaphors
Yes I am actually aware of this.
Shit Bobtree, sorry man. Jeeze... you keep hearing about things like this, but when you actually witness it, it's just... damn.
You have my condolences, pal.
I for one was outraged by the original costs. Look, accidents happen where people are at work, but almost $250 per unit for dropping parts alone... I'm glad they're more careful now.
Yes, but M$ have been convicted in the European Court of HUMAN RIGHTS for having an unnatural monopoly over the intarwebs. Or something.
To have a right to do a thing is not at all the same as to be right in doing it
