OOOOOOOOOOOAHAHKFSALKFHLSADBFBSAB!!!!!!!!


The competition is so fu**ed in their rears today! HOLY GOD!

Eh? You heard the console was delayed from Spring til' winter right? And that the HDD may not be present?



Everything today, is slightly WORSE than yesterday. Apart from PSP.

 

[Duderz]

I was just gonna type the exact same thing. Someone's gonna believe a global launch from the same people who were saying AS RECENTLY AS LAST WEEK that the PS3 was on track for spring?

Sorry, but :lol :lol Oh, they'll launch somewhere in November, no doubt. Maybe even in all three major regions. But it'll be the same as the 360s "launch": A Launch-Lite in November, a Launch-Lite in January, a Launch-Lite in April...

Sadly, you are probably right.

Microsoft's shortages will be nothing compared to this November.

 

[winston_pr]

Press-released (Japanese)

- 1mln Units in production per month
- Global launch in November

 

[Razoric]

$350 WITH HDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

 

[Johnas]

Is there still supposed to be info on GAMES coming?

 

[MightyHedgehog]

All software will be released on the BD format for the purpose of preventing piracy

Impressive. Though, I doubt that publishers are exactly happy about that. Looks like they're going to shove enough discs into production to try and bring the overall costs down more quickly. Not sure what to make of the assumed HDD comment, though.

 

[Stench]

PS3 price: 349.99

THE CONSOLE WAR IS OVER

Spoiler

if true

 

[AltogetherAndrews]

If Sony can pull this off, then Microsoft is pretty much galloping up diarrhea drive without a saddle, eh?

 

[Dante]

It's too early for price, that totally seems like an e3 announcement. Bring on the screens

 

[Akia]

This thing is going to be crazy expensive.

 

[Nintendo Ate My Children]

an average PS1 game would take up about half of a 1GB stick.

Not necessarily true. Weren't most PSone games (forgetting the monster ones like the Final Fantasy games) significantly smaller than the ~640 MB CD-ROM size?

 

[Duderz]

$350 WITH HDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111

shut up. not even funny.

are you serious?

 

[Dante]

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

Unconfirmed but...

PS3 price: 349.99
PSP price drop in US to 200.

That's my kind of sex.

 

[Andy787]

DS lite am cry? Nope :lol

Now that PSP library + BC will be > DS library + BC, I'd say so.

 

[cvxfreak]

HOLY FUCKING CRAP

OOOOOOOOOOOAHAHKFSALKFHLSADBFBSAB!!!!!!!!


The competition is so fu**ed in their rears today! HOLY GOD!

not necessarily. at what cost to sony? just gives MS a reason to drop the core pack finally. And those millions of units....HOLY COW. if sony pulls it off they will own christmas. Now are they saying 1 million units per month up until launch produced or they'll be ramped up to 1 million units per month by launch and therefore after? that reads 2 different ways.

 

[Beatbox]

Thank you Kenny!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ThunderEmperor]

In other news, President Logan has declared martial law pre-emptively to deal with what is sure to be the deadilest holiday season the United States has ever seen.

LOgan that pussy

[Prince of Space]

Too early for price, but HOLY SHIT if true.

Sony today announced that not only is the PlayStation 3 to be 100% backwards compatible, but all legacy titles played on the system will be displayed at high-definition resolutions. The Xbox 360 currently does the same thing and the result on that end is much sharper image quality for older games.

Other key features of the system that the electronics giant has pointed out so far are full Blu-ray support, the latest HDMI connection, broadband and wireless connectivity and HDD support. This is all old new, but we're just posting it as it comes in. Stay tuned...


cant wait to play ffxii on my ps3

Basic online service will be free; will begin same time as PS3 release date

If that's true, ONE CONSOLE FUTURE.

 

[lunlunqq]

PS network! Basic service is free. will be launched together with PS3.

 

[tedhbrown]

I could be wrong, but I don't think they announced the price. You would think that would be saved for E3.

 

[Diablos]

Oh man, this is so great.

has a price OFFICIALLY been set though?

They really wouldn't need to... they've already generated an insane amount of hype right now.

 

[antipode]

Press-released (Japanese)

- 1mln Units in production per month

And he were have it, the true megaton of the night for all of us who wanted to play with Cell and started picking up on this weird little thing called Linux 10 years ago and wondered when everyone else would start using it... PS3 60GB HDD standard with Linux installed.

THE CONSOLE WAR IS OVER

if true

Unless MS does the sensible thing and drops their price to match. I highly doubt an initial price of $350 for PS3, though.

If so goodbye X360. Fucking Sony, how the hell do they do it? HOW?

AWESOME.


PS3のスペックについては、2.5インチの60GバイトHDDやLinux OSを搭載することを明らかにした。また、PS3用のゲームはすべてBD-ROMとし、全世界で月間1000万枚のBD-ROMを生産できる体制を整えるとした。

What what?!!?

Holy fuckdoodle.

 

[cvxfreak]

HDD included with $350?!?!?!?!?!?!!?

not confirmed

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

So, the million dollar question (besides who you're going to hire to escort you from Best Buy to your car), what does the "Basic" PS Network entail?

 

[Mrbob]

Where is this $350 price coming from?

"Products implementing these new versions of the HDMI specification will continue to be fully backward compatible with earlier HDMI products."


Phew. I was worried for a moment.

 

[Vaandaviii]

OMFG THIS IS THE EJACULATON

Sony today announced that not only is the PlayStation 3 to be 100% backwards compatible, but all legacy titles played on the system will be displayed at high-definition resolutions.

 

[VALIS]

What are legacy titles? Games from franchises that are still active today?

 

[Nightbringer]

If the PSP EyeToy works like how I imagine that works the DS Touch Screen is doomed.

 

[xaosslug]

If Sony can pull this off, then Microsoft is pretty much galloping up diarrhea drive without a saddle, eh?

I don't know if this is feasible, especially for PS2 shit because of the weird rendering voodoo it uses, but I like the cut of that jib if it's possible, yes plz
