Watch out for falling Cell processor speeds!

It turns out that the 3.2GHz to 3.5GHz processor speed promised by Sony may end up dropping down to 2.8GHz.   Say what!?!   Sony wouldn't do that now would they?   Well, it seems that the heat put out by the untested Cell CPU is way too hot.   It also seems that there will now be an external brick power supply just like you would find with the Xbox 360.  Oh wait, the external power supply for the Xbox 360 is only 203 Watts while the Sony PS3 power supply is 400 WATTS!

 

But, at least you get twice the power of the Xbox 360.  Wait, nope, scratch that.  You get the same or even less than the capability of the Xbox 360 for $200 more and twice the power consumption.

 

But, at least you pay the same amount per game on the PS3.  Wait, nope, scratch that too.  There are rumors that you'll pay more for PS3 games since it takes longer to make the same game on it.

 

Sony, you've got a winner there.  I sure hope you can at least hold paper down on tables when it's windy.   Oh wait, nope, scratch that too, there's a risk of paper catching fire with that 400 Watts.  Hmmm, I guess you shouldn't buy a PS3.
