It's that time again, boys and girls. With T-Minus 5 days for Japan and 11 days for North America, IGN is desperately trying to answer all your nagging questions by using, abusing and overall fiddling with their PS3 test unit. What do we learn this time?How hot does it run?
- It gets pretty hot (recall that the "power brick" is inside the system), spewing warm air. The back of the system gets particularly warm while the sides aren't too bad. It's still very quiet, though!
- Yes, the retail unit has one, but not the test units.
- The PS3's "custom resolution" option allows you to tell the system what your TV's max resolution is, but jury is still out on older games getting upscaled.
- All face buttons are analog -- not sure about D-pad, though.
There are a couple more questions asked, but IGN isn't 100% on the answers, so we'll omit those to spare you from false information or hype you up for something that simply isn't true. Hope this was some help for at least one person!
