We recently purchased a new 80GB PlayStation 3 console, and our very own PS3 Dev Courier dissected his new system.
The item that peaked his interest the most was that it had one single 56-pin Flash chip, the S29GL128N90TFIR2, and was 128MB in size in contrast to older PS3 consoles utilizing dual (2x256MB) 48-pin chips totaling 512MB. So, he bought a new adapter, and some blank chips and proceed to pull the 56-pin flash, and dumped it.
Dump findings at source.
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.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing? Will it or will it not change the way games are made and or played?
well I suppose its good, it wont change the games graphics ect, but it will deliver faster loading time, faster steaming of textures ect.
correct me if im wrong
I'm pretty damned sure this is just for the base Operating System. Nothing to do with gaming. Just didn't need so much space.
Im glad I haven't bought a ps3. I'm waiting for the right moment.
is it a fact??
any way whether its true or not, sony is only making the ps3 better, and it should be compatible all previous games!!
the only thing that they did backwards was ps2 compatibility!!
any way i dont believe this news! if its true then sony will use much more flash memory from the hard drive which they can use up to x*1GB of RAM
