Default A little Ps3 info that you probadly knew already

Well here it is

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/549/549950p1.html

September 21, 2004 - In the midst of the Pre-TGS 2004 Business Briefing in Tokyo this morning, PlayStation Father and CEO Ken Kutaragi revealed some cold hard facts about the upcoming PlayStation 3. Unfortunately for eager fans, an actual release date or system design wasn't among them, but we did learn that the PS3 would definitely use Blu-Ray -- and that it will also play DVDs and CDs in addition to having 54GB of storage capacity. But how that 54GB of storage space is going to be distributed was not revealed (ie: no idea if that's including the new 54GB Blu-Ray discs minus a Hard Drive, or if it'll be the traditional 24GB disc plus a Hard Drive).

Though some of this news has been whispered about before, or confirmed in various sound bytes here and there, Kutaragi's statements are the most that any representative of Sony has given at any one time about the system for as long as we can remember. Sadly for us, nothing else about the PS3 was revealed.

Of course, if something more is uncovered, you can be sure that we'll be back to cover it. So keep those eyes and ears peeled for some possible surprises in the coming days.

Hmmmmmmmmm not bad, I wonder if Sony will actually include a HD, it seems the next Gen race will be heating up shortly.

This battle is going to be a big one. Three very worthy contenders putting out what will prabably be some very awesome machines. It will difficult for those of us that can only justify having one.

very difficult, I plan to pick up at least 2 of the new ones, but do my homework first. Instead of complaining about game releases for one system I'd have all systems and just pick the game up instead of staying partial to one system.

I probably won't be getting any of the new consoles. The GCN and PS2 will probably be the last console I buy for a very very long time.

I'm getting a job soon, and I'll be saving up money to buy an awesome computer for college, and that's what all of my gaming will be done on.

However, I can't help but keep up with all the new stuff the consoles are going to be doing.

I just thought of something:
These Blu-Ray things have a LOT of space on them, right? Well, wouldnt it be possible to include a burner type mechanism inside the console, and when you want to save your game it just writes it to the CD? And it can even be doen in the same fashion CD-RW's are, so that you can write, delete, and rewrite things.

It sounds perfectly logical to me. This way you combine the game and a memory card into one thing, and you don't need a harddrive

I'll probably stick with PS3 only, unless Nintendo releases a Pokemon RPG online game with voice communication where I can battle other trainers across the world.


But I highly doubt my demands will be answered, haha.

they don't do that because then you could hook up a burner to your computer and accidentally ruin the game by changing the data, theres a large number of reasons why it isn't done. not to mention the fact that a cd can only be burned for a number of times


but DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN....54 GB? wow, and to think, just 5 years ago, the Playstation used normal CDs.

I'll probably have to pass on the consoles for next gen.

After I buy a spanking new PC and start worrying about my tuition, I doubt I'll be purchasing a 500 buck machine.

Besides, I'm sure a lot of people will have one or the other in their dorms.


But honestly, I don't feel like plopping down half a grand for a console and then realise that it only has 1/3 of the games that I truly want to play. It happened this gen and i'm going to remedy it next gen by not buying a console at all. I don't use my cube anyway.

Am I the only one who can't stand not being able to play the killer games on other systems? I want to play GTA: SA but I can't. I could get a ps2, but it'd be a waste of money cuz I'd never use it besideds one or two games. But, halo 2.
this is why i want nintendo and micro to merge.

****


i hate talking about this stuff anyway. So much easier if I just ignore the details in the gaming community.

If anything I would go for the PS3, because i am a (*sigh*) Loyal fan to Sony, and it will no doubt be backwards compatable. And thats big for me.

But i dont know.....I will have to see all the next gen systems, graphics, prices, games line-up, and things like that.

Sony has earned brand preference loyalty from myself as a consumer. I go to them first, but if they dont have what I want, I go elsewhere. The quality of my TV, surround sound system, CD player, PS2 and customer service has done it. Smart company, terrific marketing. And their products appeal to me...

On the other hand, in the slim chance of the PS3 NOT being a quality product, I wouldnt buy it.

i find that usually works the opposite way.

Once you get a job, and find you get all that money every week, then you start to think, hey, buying a new console is only going to set my savings back 1 week. so why the hell not.


but smart move for a gaming computer especially with a good internet connection.



myself, im done with nintendo. i can see clearly that they wont change for the next gen. Sony will prolly be the only one i pick up. I have doubts about MS with the rumors saying they wont have a HD, IMO the HD is going to be very important next gen with the online games. But have to see what happens.

right now tho, looks as if i'd only pick up a PS3.

The new GCN Zelda should prove what Nintendo is capable of. The sales will prove that this is what the people want. Hopefully Ninty will take a more... serious direction with the Revolution.

When I first came to Nintendose, I was a Nintendo fan. I didnt have blind loyalty to any company. Sony won me over with PS2 and its WEGA TV line. Plus the sales clerk who sold me the TV was one of the nicest people I've ever met. And that's how marketing works...

no doubt it will be a great game. but it in no way shows nintendo has any means of changing. Already stating that gamers dont want online games when asked about online capibility for 'revolution', is a huge blow to em and signs point to it not being much of a revolution at all, and just more of the same from em.

it'll be the first Nintendo console i wont buy, and i feel sad about that. but GC was the first nintendo console i've been truly dissapointed with, and i dont want to make that mistake again.
