I knew all of those things. I'll add one that many dont know (if you are a hardware person you do). you CAN actually swap bluray drives between systems. The drives themselves are interchangeable but the board that interfaces is not. So anyone who has a dead optical drive can just get a replacement and swap the interface board and be back to reading discs in no time. I've had to do this myself on both a 20gb B01 as well as a 40gb L01 unit.
you can also replace the spinning hdd with an SSD for improved (not life changing) performance as well as quieter and cooler system reliability. The physical spinning drives draw more current and generate heat as a result. Using an SSD means no moving parts and thus will have less current draw and reduced fan noise from not having to spin as much as usual to offset any heat generated by the spinning hdd.

Most companies restructure from time to time. Getting rid of old production lines too make way for new lines/expansion, eg VHS to DVD/Blu-ray.
Sony has completely fallen apart it seems
ps3 needs to start doing a lot better or else the money counters over at sony may decide enough is enough
NEWSFLASH disagrees: this article is by the LONDON FKING TIMES, this isn't a fanboy blog
...PS3 is doomed! :o
This is a combination of mismanagement and the economy itself taking a toll on Sony. I'm pretty sure they're not the ONLY ones going through this.
They just need to get their priorities straight.
