Re: Official PS3 Thread - March 09 Edition

That would be cool. I just cancelled our Comcast TV service last week, so that would be a great alternative to catch up on shows if I want to go the legal route, and provided the cost is right.

So after the cost of running and updating the system, that is the amount left? If that is the case, that's a damn good profit.

No, $563M is the revenue. In other words, that's how much they've raked in before accounting for costs.

Well, on the flip side, the hoop never required a manditory firmware update that took a half-hour to download or made it somehow incompatible with the stick, so it does have that going for it.

Yup - you did. Thanks

I might have a 2nd copy to giveaway without the controllers...so if you don't win this round, you may have a 2nd, and better shot at #2.

Well this issue with the system not shutting off was after the firmware update, but it seems to have been a one time occurance anyway.
