Its funny to me how wrapped up people get into things… so much to the point that any outsider would not understand even the topic being discussed.

example: You guys are hilarious!
The Matrix and the DMS3 aren’t even in the same class - in fact, the DMS3 is in a class of its own.
There is no other chip that is flash upgradable, so if you are a hardcore gamer that justs wants to game without ever having to screw around with the console again - spend the money and be done with it.
If you aren’t scared of tearing your console apart once and a while to upgrade your chip, and feel confident in doing so - save a few bucks and get a magic, matrix, messiah etc.
Cheers!
