So I am not rich, yet even if I were rich, I wouldn't buy a PS3 Slim. I have a working PS3 and a backup so I wouldn't buy one. The theory of the backup was the truth behind the dropped Emotion Engine in the future back in December 2006. Same with PSP, NDS, Xbox 360. It's nice that the Xbox 360 Arcade costs $200 by now. I'll buy one if mine breaks. Until then I want to purchase games, and I'm having a hard time saving up for Metroid Prime Trilogy. I loved all the Metroid Prime games. And I downloaded some new Armin Van Buuren so I'm good for another year. It's been 10 months since my last download. I've been reserved due to too many Linux.

I'm actually excited for the Xbox 720 in 2010. I imagine it being 45" facrication process dual socket Xenon-based motherbord and 1 GB GDDR5 main RAM and mainstream DirectX 11 ATI Radeon RV840. I'm expecting sequel to most games on it. Wikipedia said 1 GB GDDR5. If the Xbox 360 uses DVD video, and Bluray is the standard, I don't see why it shouldn't go to BD drive. It's obvious that Microsoft will be selling Xbox 720 games at department stores, Best Buy, and Game Stop. DirectX 9 is only 6 years old! It's getting a time extension solely, because it won't outsell nearly as many 20th century PS2. The Xbox 720 I invision may look like the a failure of the two SuperH2 CPUs inside the Sega Saturn spec wise, yet PS4 is going to have at least a 4 PPEs and 32 SPE CPU so I don't see the frustration. Both the Cell Broadband Engine and Xenon must be really inexpensive by now to mass manufacture.
