They would do, but just for the record, Sony reps are denying that they are having any issue fitting all the pieces of the PS3 into its massive plastic shell.
Quoth Sony spokesman Jonathan Fargher:
"The PS3 downgrade story is categorically not true."Developers have been working with PS3 dev kits for anywhere between eight and 12 months, and to suggest that we'd now take the decision to downgrade the hardware at such a late stage, is, well, ridiculous.
"Worse still is the suggestion that we couldn't fit all the technical components into a plastic box," Fargher continued.
"Granted, whilst all products are not perfect, we do have over 40 years of experience making consumer electronics equipment, and therefore, extensive experience in making things fit - PSone and Slimline PS2 being just two examples of that."
It's a pretty compelling argument up until that last paragraph. I mean, hey, Sony! How many years did it take you for you to figure out how to cram the Playstation into the PSone or the PS2 into the Slimline? Granted, the PS3 is a hundred times larger than those consoles, but still — they aren't good examples of your claims of expertise in 'making things fit'... at least as far as Rev 1 models are concerned.
