Clare Newsome:It'll be after the long weekend - we want to give it a thorough going-over, including comparative testing with the original PS3 plus standalone Blu-ray players, and a check on streaming etc. Oh, and gaming, of course
Surely game wise it should be identical to the "fat" PS3? I would also expect this to be the case regarding BD/DVD playback.
Do we know for sue yet that the "fat"PS3 will definatly not bitstream HD after the 3.00 firmware update?
everything i have read says hardware not firmware for bitstream - i also wouldn't be surprised if they def didn't do it to give the slim a USP and make us all shell out again if we decide we really need it!
