It's also cooler due to the lack of the Emotion Engine.

Oh well, I guess I can't retire my PS2 just yet.

It's also cooler because it is never playing games.

I'm in awe that the highlight of the "most powerful" game machine ever is that I can run Folding@home on it. Uh, I can do that on the piece of crap PC I have in my office.

I've said once, and I will say it again...I'm not let down by the PS3 as a fan of Sony, but rather as a fan of gaming.

Lack of an EE makes it cooler? No, the EE was already gone in the 80GB model and all European models. It's the GS that this one takes away.

Removing the EE also removed a lot more, like the RAMBUS chips. The GS won't do so much, though collectively with the enhancements like 65nm, it certainly adds up.
