Playstation 3 for 2006

That looks like awesome.

I figure the controller's just a preliminary design. Or at least, I hope so, seeing has how I can't see that being better than the DS2's. (Although a few people complained about them being too small, something I've never had a problem with)

Anyone see the in-game screenshots released a year or so ago, and how they were just phenominal? I can only imagine how they'll look when the product is finished.

EDIT: I apologize for sending you to GameSpot. Really, I do. =(

Is that the real picture or just something to tease with? I was watching G4 today and on Screen Savers they were talking about how PS3 never gave away their pictures and are using "the element of surprise."

And if they really go with Playstation 3, they need to be kicked in the nuts.

wtf is with xbox and sony trying to basically create the same outer design? to get their fans to claim the other ripped them off? i can't wait to see what nintendo comes up with. I'm guessing some form of palm pilot with a controller, at the rate they are going. and it will be neon orange. somehow.

*Shrug*

It's all prelim stuff and working titles. The "Xbox 360" or whatever the hell it's called now was the Xbox 2 a while back. Just like Xbox was called Longhorn while in the design phases.

But I see your point. They do look very similar, though the Sony's is a lot sleeker. (As if there was any doubt )

They changed it to 360 because of a fanbase vote. They thought it would sound best and went with the public.

'Course. It looks pretty good, I really do hope that is still preliminary, 'cause there is a hell of a lot they can do to make it better. You know what would be hilarious, if as soon as Microsoft and Sony came out with their next generation systems and then Nintendo comes along and blows them out of the water. xD

Honestly, the way Nintendo's going these days, they don't stand a chance.

I lost all respect for them when they botched the potentially awesome N64, which did, admittedly, have a handful of great games, but with the power it had at that time, Nintendo could have crushed the Playstation, but instead they screwed that up. Then they released the Gamecube and royally fucked over their fanbase with crappy games and "the controller from hell". The DS sucks too, since it's a handheld that's expected to survive based on a gimmick.

Unless the "big" N pulls a massive 180, Sony and Microsoft are leaving them in the dust. AGAIN.

I have a hard time believing those are actual pictures of a "PS3". They look so computer rendered and un realistic. I've seen another render of a "PS3" it had a UMD slot and stuff, but was on Gamepro and they said it was a fake. I really don't think thats the actual next gen console for Sony, Microsoft didn't leak out their new design beforehand, Sony won't either.

If that's what it ends up looking like, well kick me in the nuts. I seriously doubt that though.

But Bluetooth controllers? Shit that's a good idea.


Go vote for me in Big Brother please =D

The real PS3 design was released 4 almost 5 years ago. Catch up man.

That controller looks horrible. Downright horrible.

I think the system itself looks pretty spiffy, though. The Spiderman font will probably get old eventually, but for now, it looks pretty sweet in "Playstation 3".

A mag I got a few week's or months back had the PS3 in it.. Offical info to boot..

If I wasn't lazy I'd takea picture via my webcam >.>

You a git Koola >.>

*gets kicked in the nuts*

I thought it looked like photoshop, one of his hands didn't look all that great, but oh well.

*writhes in agony*

when you got graphics like this your controller can actually be a dildo for all I care.

PS3 is a feckin' monster in terms of power. It's pretty much got cutting edge technology and is going to blow everything out of the freakin' water. Blu-Ray Disc is what's going to put Sony > Microsoft. Sure they can use Dual Layer DVD which is lie 9 gb, maybe 14. But Sony's Blu-Ray technology allows for Dual Layer BR-D's that hold 50gb O_O.

Plus the Cell Processor, zomg, Sony has like beat the bloody hell out of everything seen so far. And yeah those pics are real, Sony said that the demo's were rendered in real time at E3.

And a double layer DVD holds 9.4 gigs....since they are 4.7 gig DVD's Dual layer just doubles that of regualr layer.

Not only that, but Blueray is super fast, it can record HDTV in real time :O

[Bra]

Well. Hooray.

Fuck you Sony, now I have to save up for the PS3.

[Amadeus]

While Blu-ray does pwn in terms of space, the problem with it is that the drives for Blu-Ray will not be compatible with older units such as DVD and CD. This is where HD-DVD owns. If Blu-Ray will find a solution, he is the winner. If not.....its gonna be a preety tough battle. I mean the buyers will question themselves: what to choose? More space or more compatibility?

[Drake]

You guys know nothing, first off HD-DVD cannot compete at all with Blu-ray, not only does it hold less then a BD, it's transfer rate is only 36.5Mbps compared to BD's 54Mbps. Also the Blu-ray readers and recorders are backwards compatable so they will be able to read and record BD/DVD/CD.

That should be obvious since the PS3 is backwards compatible with PS2 and PS1, and they are DVD and CD while the PS3 is BD. And BD hasn't really been out for awhile, it's newly developed technology and outside of japan their really aren't any Recorders or Players in existance and the ones that do exist are expensive. However, BD is to be the successor of VHS because of it's superior recording capabilities, so chances are you will become very familar with it soon.

Oh my God. Was that actually rendered by the PS3?

Final Fantasy is going to be so goddamn beautiful.
