PSUNI:
"Just a little update to our previous story on the revised PlayStation 3 Slim. The updated console, which weighs 200 grammes less than the previous Slim model, achieved many of its extra slimming due to a reduction in the size of its graphics chip.
The RSX graphics processer saw a shrinkage from its previous 65 nano-meters to what we originally reported to be a svelt 45nm. Sony has actually taken the shrinkage a little further."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

I know we don't deal with PS3 news but I've heard that a 32nm Cell will be ready this year. So PS3 "super slim" could be out this year.

ps3 would be on top even faster...by the end of this year they will surpass the xbox 360
ps3 is the future and the future is ps3
This has got to be the reason for the shortages. They wanted production of this to ramp up, and slowed down production of the old ones.
makes sense like Sony did with the "fat" ps3's clear out the old and in with new, hopefully slight price cut can happen.
