Some assimilation required?
 

from CNN:

hmmm. well ya gotta admit, it gets your brain active thinking about what all this means.

gets yer interest at least.


i read it over and over. and its still a bit strange. various home appliances? so im going to buy a PS3 game and put it in my dishwasher? :D

its odd tho. cuz i thought they talked about hareware a while go saying how powerful it would be. now they say they arent talking hardware at all?

:hmm:

Wow. I really do not understand what I just read.

o..........................k, well that cleared up nothing. i'm even more confused now then i was before i read this.

Probably you'll install it in your computer like a disc drive.

now that, would be actually pretty damn nice.

HD already there
Internet, already there.

you got everything already there. all it would be would be a special CD drive to read PS3 games.


altho wouldnt that make stealing thier games easier??

thats wut i was thinking, but i remember reading an article a while back (i think it was in psm) saying that the ps3 was going to handle games differently. you wouldnt buy like a DVD or CD in a case like regular games, you would buy access to play games that were on sonys servers. developers would make games then sony would put it on their server for people to play directly through the interent. it was something weird like that, dont try to understand it, you'll just become more confused like i am....

yea. but they have even more probs then. people wont like that. people without internet connections or slow connections wont want to play games off ther servers. and it would be same as playing PC games. which would mess up the whole reason for getting consoles.

Maybe they'll make cartridges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D::D:D:D

Heh, I dont think I want a PS3 now. It just scares me to think that I could be playing games from my Blender or whatever.

toaster would be better man.

it has an easy eject system. and can load duel CD's

:D

Don't forget about the Special Edition Quad Load:D

Hhmmm... weird... Good thing there's competition and we have Nintendo!! :D

hey, deja-vu... :hmm:

you dont play it on their servers, you would download it.

same thing then. people with slow or no internet connection cant do it.


and if you download it.......... might as well just be giving every game away for free. cuz thats what will happen.


so dont think thats quite what they're going to do.

Well, I think that by 2005, most people who play games SHOULD have the internet...like seriously..if its the year 2005, and if you live in a first world country and dont have the internet...I think that would be rather lame..soon everything will be done on the internet.

And as for slow connections, I think they should just get rid of dial-up/narrowband....everyone should be connected with BroadBand...or, make a new internet connection, like it being connected through a wall outlet...or something like that...2005 is still 3 and some years away...and we know how fast technology advances...so... I dunno. They can prolly find many wyas around those problems.

like 75% of the world uses dialup.

i doubt they're get rid of it that fast

the president of sony said that all things are going to be interent based in the near future, including ps3. ps3 will be using different kinds of interent methods, none that anyone has seen so far. He said this "Soon the internet will be like a television; everyone will have it and use it on a commonly regular basis." straight outa my PSM. if someone doesnt have the internet or a fast enough connection thats their tough luck. If someone says "oh i cant play the games cuz i dont have the internet" that'll be just like someone else saying "oh i cant play the games cuz i dont have a tv"

the question is not what the internet will become..

its how soon will it become that? and i dont see it happening THAt soon.

just tellin wut he said

Especially if the price of broadband doesn't drop much by 2005 :-o

Although that's like 3 years away so yeah it probably will drop some :D

today's broadband will be considered narrowband by 2005, methinks

I doubt it.... but meh....

If it is, at least it would be munch cheaper than it is today... I hope :unsure:

With the user base constantly going up and the quality of the speed going down, it will seem like narrowband by '05. Hopefully the T (insert number here) or fiber optic's take over as the broadband of the household.

maybe by than everyone will be paying $40/month for OC3

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
