Mobile spell check is awesome comedy.
lol. Yeah and we need more soap.
I don't know what the 500GB is but no one is selling it for £250 anyway, plus as has been said we'll probably see another price drop on it by the time PS4 launches.
The thing about buying the parts is Sony will get probably massively discounted rates that will be a lot less than anything on consumer shelves as they'll be in such large quantities for a start.
They'll probably do two SKUs again, I could see maybe a £279 base model and a £329 top one, there is no way I can see them going past £350 though.

I really doubt MS is only going with ddr3.
It wouldn't make sense to licence a Ferrari engine and then feed it water, it doesn't make sense to include an amd hd78xx and have it run off ddr3 only.
Whatever solution engineers thought of, it must be effective; these guys surely know what they're doing.
Okay that cracked me up lol

This industry has changed. Look at how much they WANT to do with current consoles but can't when it comes to services. 0.5gb pretty much screws you up after two or three years.

I would like the next gen consoles to look sleek and expensive, as opposed to being made of cheap plastic.
What I liked about the original 'Playstation 3' was the fact it looked like an expensive piece of hardware.
Something akin to that bluray player would be fantastic.
It was an ugly, glossy plastic monstrosity with a Spiderman font. Expensive isn't quite the word I'd use.

Fixed. Just an awful design.

Fix your tastes, son.
Wait.. what is this twist?
I know Karak and he's level headed guy. I couldn't tell if he's playing for a team.
No it's a gap of around 1.5GB (which is pretty large) when it comes to availability for game developers. And people are just speculating about XB3's OS size. May be it's less than 3GB in which case the gap will be even larger. Still, fast vs slow ram consideration would have to be taken in to consideration.
I hope they go a different default color than black this time, PS2 and PS3 were black and look great.
But i hope we get the grey color of the PSX back and the blazing intro to PS1 redone:

Those 16 seconds will tingle your nostalgia jimmies if you gamed in the mid-late 90's.
Sony has always almost had sexy sleek designs of their consoles, PSone looked a bit cheap and the newest PS3 Slim is not that hot looking but the first default console of PS1, PS2 and PS3 all look fantastic.

I wouldn't mind such design. Anything not too "gamey" would be fine.
Ok, WOW.
Probably the best design ever.

With the knowledge that PS4 games are well on there way to being completed, I hope we get a demo disc like we did with PS1.

When I bought my PS1 on launch day that's all I had to play for the first few hours I had it.
I played the Toshinden, Wipeout, and Jumping Flash demos over and over. I also won't ever forget the Philosoma trailer. It's etched in my brain.
By the end of the day I convinced my mom to get me some actual games though.
Ok, WOW.
Probably the best design ever.
If there's no b/c or b/c add-on, I prefer it to stack below a PS3.

Nah, but hopefully you'll be able to download demos.
Something I just thought of, with games growing in size I hope devs are not forcing us to download 3/4 gigs demos.
I really hope this is true.

I don't know. Their certainly competent but if there is a big OS then they needed that RAM for those functions, so they got 8GB. Theres a trade off.
Doing more starts raising costs. Sony have optimized for a games console and have great specs. MS have optimised for...something.

probably. At least on their cheapest SKUs.

Yeah, no.
It's never a good idea to stack components like that.
Plus which PS3? We have 3 different form factors.

Typical parents! Buy a new console with no games. My parents did the same with me and my brothers when I was 7 or 8. Luckily it a was Vic 20 with pack-in games.....but they didn't realise that.
Probably but not nearly as big as before. Honestly if these specs for Orbis are true and the controller isn't crazy then $399 launch price would be reasonable. Durango may be a bit more if Kinect 2.0 is bundled.
EDIT: Just saw that blu ray player and Proelite's comments on the last page. Hhhhhnnnnngggg

Well I bought the console myself, but it's all I had money for.
It took those hours of begging and pleading to get them to foot the dough for some games.

Whats up now?omniview is real or what?Proelite, where did that come from all of a sudden? Not that we weren't saying it all along, but yeah...
I guess that the new rumor mill starts running again tomorrow, huh? Should be fun.

They should go with a retro design, a tribute to PSX.

I believe next week could prove itself to be filled to the brim with rumors. Microsoft has got the Microsoft Hardware Open House & Networking Event and Fiscal Year 2013 Second Quarter Earnings Conference Call on Thursday. AMD has got its Q4 2012 Earnings Conference Call on Tuesday. I wouldn't call for any greater announcement coming from any of these events but I think the frequency of rumors will become greater due to them.Proelite, where did that come from all of a sudden? Not that we weren't saying it all along, but yeah...

Honestly I could see them doing that. I dont think itll look anything like that BD player but going back to a sleek high end AV equipment design would be perfect IMO.

Oh right. That must have been tough........but worth it in the end.

No thanks.
The design was ok in the 90's with the grey console and pastel button symbols, but it doesn't really jive with design philosophies of today.
I don't want my console to look like a toy.

I'd rather not have a device with a pointless prism on top that prevents any other device from sitting on top of it.
I would highly doubt that at this point. It's been all AMD in rumors for a long time now.

Nothing should be sitting on top of it anyway.
what? just a few days ago you said 720 > PS4.

People love to play/spoil the hype whether it is true or not.

Exactly. They'll go back to straight I feel.
Long angled front then a flat top. Am hoping for white though.
Was never going to happen after what happened with the original xbox. NVIDIA burned that bridge to the ground then pissed on the ashes.
