I will probably end up with an elite but I dont see why I should buy a new 2nd version of a console to get what a PS3 does out of the box (actually working and not breaking down because it doesnt feel like working anymore)
Sony have the production line sorted I think I doubt we will be seeing a PS3 boasting that "it wont overheat on you anymore" extra space and slimline versions will of course follow, but when you are boasting that your console performs how it should have to begin with, then theres something wrong somewhere IMO...
