Why? Because you just need the SKU on the side of the box to know if you are getting a full 65nm machine, without the need to peek inside the case, read the PSU label and cross your fingers.
After all all the games I was playing on the Xbox (long time dead) are available on the PS3 that is also deadly silent and runs even warmer than my notebook.
Downsides so far? It's a fingerprints and dust magnet and you must wait for data to be installed on the hard drive.
