    Curious about what’s inside that big black box? No, not that one. Not that one either (it’s full of stars, obviously). The Sony one. Doubtless many of you want to know what its guts look like in extreme detail but are too cowardly to smash it open and see for yourself. Craven fools! You’re lucky there are sites like Hardware Secrets that are willing to do the dirty work for you. Come and see.

    Observe the Blu-Ray drive and its chips naked and exposed. Thrill to the hulking motherboard and legendary Cell processor — see how they shy from the light! They wish to return to the safety of their ebon stronghold, like frightened cybercrabs. Anyway… it’s fun to see all the bits and pieces, if you’re into that sort of thing and haven’t checked it out before.
