its brilliant really, they are captalizing on the market by releasing yet another "upgraded", "better" verion of the ps3. just because it looks cooler, people are going to buy it because its "the next greatest thing" all this while im sure they are developing another game system to release and when they release that, MORE MONEY. its not about ps3 getting old, they make it with cheaper materials and a more cost efficient method.. its all about making money
