MarketTantrik Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 ^^ It actually is complicated. The drive is a key checkpost in the fight against piracy in this new generation of consoles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinitwins Posted November 27, 2007 Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 did you see the MOTHER of a h.s.f. that's cooling the ps3/cell? whoa! check the videos guys - the ps3 is an engineering MARVEL - by comparison the 360 is like a 4-piece jigsaw puzzle for retards (flamebait attached) V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
