[PS3] PlayStation 3 Discussion Thread

Let me tell you all a little bit about PS3.

1. The graphics will look no better than the 360, possibly even worse due to the complexity of developing for CELL.

2. The unit will be rushed in any scenario, leading to hardware problems that will eclipse the PS2's.

3. There is no way that Sony could afford to lose all that money by putting a BR drive in every PS3, so there has been talk of dual SKUs. This doesn't make sense though, since the media will be used for games as well. So we can only conclude that the stock Blu-ray drive that comes in all PS3s will be a cheap, awful piece of crap, kind of like the PS2 DVD player.

4. Here is what Sony's PS3 unveiling at E3 will consist of: Fake CG, fake CG, and fake CG.

5. Sony may just announce that PS3 games will use standard DVD9, so they can sell a high-priced version of the PS3 for $900.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

1. Didn't they emphasize the physics capabilities of PS2 as well. ::fart noise::

2. BR is such a new technology. There'll be problems.

3. I'm not even talking about price here. I'm just against the notion that the Blu-ray drive is some kind of incredible incentive for PS3 owners, because with all cases considered, the quality of it will be awful. Compare the stock PS2 DVD drive to a standalone player, or the Xbox's even.

5. I'm saying that games might not be on BR at all.

Oh yeah, can someone clarify how BR games are even going to work on the PS3. I've heard that HDMI isn't required, which makes sense, because HDMI would spell suicide.

How ya doing, buddy?

Well, 2009 is when the next round of consoles will emerge.

It would have made more sense to push HD then, rather than now...but Microsoft seems to have been pretty successful in selling the concept so far.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'll buy PS3 when MGS4 hits, just like everyone else with a brain.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Do people seriously believe that it will launch before Fall.

PS3 hasn't even been shown yet.

Most amazing jew boots

Is The Darkness based on the comic of the same name, or what.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I can't wait to see what kind of stupid bundles they pull.

PlayStation 3
Four boomerang controllers
Three memory sticks
Two wireless hubs
60" DLP HDTV
5 Blu-ray movies
Sony Discman

$19000000000

FELIPE NO

Don't kid yourselves.

PS3 will launch with three stupid mahjong games and Tokyo Bus Driver Ultra.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Quote:

A new interview with Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer by Hollywood trade magazine Variety has indicated that the PlayStation 3 will be delayed until later in the year, due to complications revolving around the consoles’ complex chipset.

The Variety article attributes the delay to the company “fine-tuning” the console’s technology, referring to the PlayStation 3 as a “the poor man’s Blue-ray [sic]”, and suggests that the console will be released before the end of the year, but does not include a specific comment from Stringer confirming this.

What did I say. Oh yeah, CELL is just fine and dandy, LoL.

Poor man's Blu-ray. It's over.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

DVD sales are going down due to the cheap price of DVD burners.

Why lie.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ok, so PS3 is launching this year. LoL. So where are the games.

Also, the fact that it will include a 60GB HD means that it will cost no less than $500. It's over.

But that price doesn't bother me if I can play AC04 in 720p.

How ya doing, buddy?

Actually, the 60GB HD will be brilliant. Everyone will just download and run their games off of it.

::loads MGS4::

I was speaking idiomatically.

Does anyone have one of those "MASTER OF THE OBVIOUS" pictures that I can use.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

All subscription-based services are scams. Can someone tell me why Microsoft charges $50 a year when they don't even have any dedicated servers. Then they have the nerve to charge you $5 when you download wallpaper for your dashboard, LoL.

The Sony service will be ten times worse, of course. It will ask for your credit credit number, then sign you off.

FELIPE NO

So PS3 is going to be $500 no matter what.

Without the HD, PS3 would still likely be $400, and a 60GB HD costs around $100.

I also like how the games are Blu-ray only. So Crash Bandicoot will cost $70, right.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Blu-ray ain't nothin' but a smoke screen. Sony simply wasn't prepared, and failed to deliver the dev kits in time, etc.

"There's no chance in hell that Toshiba sells more standalone HD DVD players than Sony sells PS3s; it's not even possible.

LoL, wow.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Of course the games are ready.

Sony would be fools to show off any games if they had them.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The real use for the HDD is pirating games.

No lying.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thank god I can play games that I don't understand.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Of course they wouldn't. They could literally make twice the cash without changing a thing.

I mean, look at FFXII. 90% of you nerds would buy both the Jap and US versions. Don't lie.

It's also cool how no game on PS3 will run at 1080p.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Warhawk looks like crap in those screens.

Too bad it'll be the best game out of them all.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Wait, so these demos aren't even running on actual PS3s.

LoL.

Most amazing jew boots

$2000 is definitely an absurd amount of money.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Why don't you nubs just get a CRT.

The weight is only an issue if you have to carry it to the 2nd floor and you're Asian.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
