so you've never seen a 360 video cable then? It has this natty little invention called a switch.

Doubters will be harassed with "I told you so", quoting pages from 2 months ago.
Fanboys will be announcing their desire to buy another.
Fanboys will be announcing their pleasure with the price.
Haters will denounce exclusion of every first party game, as bonus.
There will be chest beating. There will be bannings. And oh yes, there will be blood.

Yeah, component cables aren't anything else than individual RCA cables itselves, just with different color codes but the same internal structure. Although they're usually of higher manufacturing quality.
It has. It's a lot dirtier now.

I've seen 80 GB standalone units for 329 for a while now. It doesn't get a lot cheaper than those bundles, only that they're not official.

Love it.
I hope somewhere does have videos of the conference either live, or recorded so we can watch them back later, like the Heavy Rain gameplay reveal last year. I don't know much about Andrew House so it will be interesting to see how he conducts himself on stage and in interviews at the event. Trettons the best 'presenter' they have out of the ones I have seen. They dearly miss Phil as the face of the 'team'. I was watching the GDC 07 conference last night and felt a little sad that he's gone.
The Slim of course will go down very well in Europe and Japan, but Sony really need to get more sales in the US. Other than GOW III do they have a system seller for the US? In the EU we have Gran Turismo still to come, GOW III, and in Japan they still have Final Fantasy XIII, Level-5's games, a potential new Wild Arms etc.

Which is pathetic. It's sad that the console in third place is the only one with wifi AND ethernet built-in.

except given the crushing weight of evidence... that notion is kinda weird in itself.
So far this seems to be true,the article was posted in June btw.

Nope. You have to keep an eye on live blogs.

Well, its first gamescom ever,
so its hard to say. Previous Europe conference was in Leipzig, there was some streaming occasionally, but not consistently.The hype for Sony conference is going through the roof though, so I would not be surprised if we get even multiple streams for that.

I remember seeing the Sony pc from last year (and not the "cut"-version that appeared later on the store), but I don't remember if it was live, was probably just a video later uploaded by some news site.
I guess the Home-team is not ready for a live-stream yet? (and not just later showing the same video-segments you can download from the store)
Sony did a video recording at e3, but not their own livestream like MS.

Streams will be crossed.

Did you read my post on how I responded yes but I wasn't talking about that when posting...
TheBranca18 said:
If your going straight hookups yes, but not on a gaming console, as those cables are specifically made to output only in component or composite... Instead of just having the normal plugs coming out. Again unless you have the 360 cable which i state again with the switch are not the greatest, its better to just have one cable then two switched together.
And we already moved on from this subject... It also feels as though someone always has to come up with some smartass remark to prove everyone just the tiny bit wrong.. it feels as though I'm talking to myself.. lol

Sounds premium-ish. Unless it's just oddly worded english. If true, I just hope they keep online play free. A content related subscription service (i.e. subscribe and get a certain number of PSN games per month or something) would interest me, if the math makes sense of course.

mhh makes sense :/ odd coincidence for the date (Sony themselves lay out these traps to win the bet for the most disappointing pc ever? ^^)
androvsky said:
Thx. Yeah, I was fairly sure it was a GDC 2007 interview, because I remember where I was when I watched it. I was at that particular office until May 2007, and I believe that was the only conf. of note that took place in the time frame I'm thinking of...
I went through a dozen of interviews, but I couldn't find the right one. I think it was a part 2 of a part one that I caught yesterday, but I couldn't find the sequel. argh.
qwerty2k said:i adore the shiny finish of the current ps3's and would be sad to see it go
Me too.
I have a feeling the "Slim" is not going to be used widely among fans. The two Fat and Slims will going forwards be referred to as "PS3 Shiny" and "PS3 Dull".
AndyD said:
I wonder if we all caught the same interview, and it was the only one in which he let it 'slip'. Now, I can't find the interview. *Hmmmm*... Conspiracy!!
