whats going on rich, long time no see.

going foward the price cut on ps3 is probably enough on it's own for me to buy one. the slim ps2 however did have problems with durability so i would be hesitant to spend that much on something that might break. sounds awesome (astetics aside) but i'd be a bit leary on it until i know it will hold up
