and yet, they have unflashable lite-on drives.
if they come with the new jasper motherboard, then it might be worth it.
ps2: v7 scph-39001 - independence exploit - hdloader 0.8c - maxtor 300gb hdd
(+[__]%) psp slim ta-085v1: 6.60 PRO B10
wii (powered by bootmii/priiloader): 4.1u - d2x v10beta53-alt (base 56) - configurable usb loader v70r51/devolution r188 - wd scorpio black 7200rpm 320gig w/ ams venus ds2 enclosure

no the 360 sales have went up dramatically M$ is reporting. they are doing it to try to purpously out sell the PS3, they even targeted them by saying quote "we will sell more consoles than PS3 this generation"
