OK, then low clocked or SPE crippled CELL chip in launch units, with full speed after they get their processes sorted.

But that wouldn't work, as then you don't have a solid platform.

That's about the only scenario I can think of in light of these posts, but like you I can't see that happening. Maybe they would "enable" certain things that had to be "disabled" in the first systems, but in a way that wouldn't affect games..for example, maybe the newly enabled SPE or whatever would just speed up your OS or non game-critical functionality. I'm as confused as you

A question for those "hinting": will we know what's up at E3?

 

[Shard]

Please share!

A major defection is appreantly in the work from the looks of these rumors that the press hound members seem to be hinting about.

 

[Ceb]

Square probably.

I think Rockstar is more likely.

Sony: "Please make GTA4 a PS3 exclusive. Pleasepleaseplease."
Rockstar: "OK, but you'll have to pay us one gazillion dollars for that."
Sony: "Deal. If you throw in a PSP GTA as well."

 

[SantaC]

- Revolution development is going well. There'll be playable titles at E3.

Haha. No. Unless its some first party stuff running on a workstation.

And you are sure of this?

Alright. This is getting fucking ridiculous. I'm beginning to think these "hints" or "megatons" are total bullshit now. It's just a handful of people trying to stir the pot around here to see everyone's reactions.


I call bullshit! Bullshit I tells ya!

In this thread, DCharlie and others are hinting at rumor about early PS3 adopters being screwed somehow.

The major defection (betrayal, whatever) rumor was being discussed in another thread yesterday. Apparenty, it's a Sony's coup of some kind and maybe Microsoft's loss - and it's not KotOR being PS3 exclusive, that's an entirely different rumor too.

So that thing and this thing Izzy is talking about is not one and the same then.

So I guess that means Sony isn't getting a controlling interest in Tecmo and becoming a Sony second party then.

 

[gofreak]

This thread is getting confusing. To be clear:

Other thread: "megaton", "defection", "betrayal" (and it was suggested this was in sony's favour)

This thread: "sony might be a bastard with regards to something about cell"

Seperate things.

Right?

 

[SantaC]

So I guess that means Sony isn't getting a controlling interest in Tecmo and becoming a Sony second party then.

plus that Sony is buying Factor 5 and SK :lol

This is all rumour, the 2ch rumours shouldn't be taken with any more weight just because they're from a japanese board..

..not that I think a new game boy will be at e3, but these rumours don't necessarily indicate anything

 

[Amir0x]

I am not laughing! No, not at all!

Nah, that's hardly extortion, that's just bargining. And if SCEI starts making demands for PSP support with Rockstar, there's always the chance they'll just lose them to Xbox.

Square Enix seems like the most likely target given how cold they were on PSP support (going so far as to make public comments about it's confused strategy), then suddenly Crisis Core FFVII was announced out of nowhere (before planning on it had even started). Unlike Rockstar, Square Enix needs PlayStation 3... SCEI has far more room to make demands here.

I think people are speculating more to Sony than from Sony. But everyone's expected to have some "surprises".

No. The defection thing is discussed at this thread, starting with this post by JackFrost.

Well, the "Gamespy thing," now revealed, is big news, but far from "megaton." It is merely a taste of the terror that awaits Xbox fans at E3. It's funny how everyone presumes that these defections are in Microsoft's favor... Well, some minor ones might be, but there's still the One True Megaton!!

Here's a hint: IT'S NOT RELATED TO NINTENDO, YOU RETARDS.

EDIT: confidential to gofreak: it's true.

I thin that it's just one of those things where someone crossed some wires, or maybe even not, but it will be stopped/not happen, whatever it is.

the same people that look forward to Kameo?

That's not a "two-way" extortion though. And I'm sure Rockstar isn't too hot on the idea of taking a gamble and hope their fanbase would follow them to the 360.

[jarrod]

Square Enix was likely well compensated for their exclusive PS2 support... Square even got Sony to bail them out with a 20% non-voting investment after TSW bombed. There's no innocents on either end of that relationship.

And I doubt Rockstar is too worried about their fanbase following them to a platform where they still make years old ports sell a million units in the US alone. Unlike Square Enix, Rockstar already has a viable alternative to Sony's platform if they wish to move.

Again, Square Enix just seems like the most likely canindate here. They weren't interested in PSP R&D at all then just 2 weeks later an exclusive FFVII spinoff is announced... makes you wonder.

Hey Folder what happened to your relationship with MCV. The new website links all it stories to Gamebiz. Was it a mutual divorce?

 

[Vibri]

- Will be released in US and Japan this year. Europe and other regions will be next spring.
- Hardware comes in two flavours: one comes with a 60G HDD and includes B/C with current Xbox. Other one has no HDD and no B/C. HDD will also be sold separately so you can upgrade later.
- Price of HDD model $369, regular model $299.
- Xbox360 will be compatible with MSN Music, and a memory-based audio player that uses the memory unit slot will be sold by MS.
- Audio player will be $99 for 512 MB version.

I can tell you as a fact that the some of this is simply incorrect (save the thread if you don't believe me). Which calls into question the rest of the rumors unfortunately.

 

[Amir0x]

I can tell you as a fact that the some of this is factually incorrect (save the thread if you don't believe me).

But do you know for a fact?

Edit: Damn your correcting your sentence ways!

 

[gofreak]

I want to know: if he knows some of it is definitely incorrect, does he conversely know some of it is true? Cos any of that being true would at least be different from some of the rumours going around before.

 

[SpokkX]

my bet: Sony buys Blizzard/Sony-exclusive deal with Blizzard

WoW, Star Craft etc. on Ps3
