I’d like to check it out myself – that Edge 10/10 and EG’s 9/10 got me curious I guess.

I would say I was looking forward to trying this out, but my PS3 died over the weekend so now I’m just going to have to listen to everyone telling me how great it is while I weep in a corner.

Unfortunately not JonFE, it’s an original launch 60Gb and it’s about two and a half years old. I’m going to call the nice people at Sony to see how much they’re going to charge me for a repair. Not looking forward to that conversation…

Good luck with that. I hope that backwards compatibility won’t be affected (if you use it that is).
