PS3 loses features before launch... Was reading the pre-launch review at work, they've dropped HDMI and built-in wireless from the finished thing. Blu-ray is looking like a major doubt too. Plus instead of having 6m available for launch there will only be 2m, and 2m after christmas. They're going to do it in two versions, one with a 20gb hdd and one with a 60gb. The high end one is expected to be around the £550 mark. The games could be up to £60 each. Tell you what, I'll get a 360 and a wii for the same price
think ill just stick with the pc, might invest in a ps3 at a very later date when theyve come down a few hundred
This is what I think I'll do.. Gonna get me a dfi expert board, 2GB DDR400 and 2 7900Gts.. this combined with a raptor raid setup and a Opteron 170 runnin at 2.8Ghz should knock the stuffing outta a PS3.. Although I might wait for a decent dx10 card to be released first..
im waiting for a dx 10 card gonna make meself a htpc but wihout the shitness prolly go for a conroe system, theyre menna be mint and reasonably priced (compaired to an fx 60 )
Conroe will be the mutts nutts like.. I desperately want one.. but just shelled out £270 for a 170.. Although.. I might sell that as I need a new mb anyways. The E6600 will be the chip to go for.. 4MB cache and Dual 2.6Ghz cores for around the £250/£300 mark is a incredible deal..
The PS3 will be good but for that price, it'll not be twice as good as the 360. The wii will be £150ish and will have the best games. I have a 360 but looking forward to the wii- will be class. nintendo still make the best games by far
thats all it's features that set it apart?!??! AND they're still going to charge full wack?!??! even i'm going to give up on the PS3 console prices are getting silly..... they're meant for kids... originally.... sort of....
hahahaha after the spankings you have had on this subject i am suprised you even ventured in here MOS
the last 3 posts baffled me... bring back the atari joystick with 1 red button, thats what i say! Playstations RULE
my mate had a 'colecovision' - a kinda american nintendo thing.... i could NEVER work out 'Raiders of the lost ark' on the 2600..... although 'empire strikes back' was class... SHHOOOTT THE DAMN FLASHY BLOCK
Re: Re: PS3 loses features before launch... It was a trade-only mag, similar to MCV, wasn't on the web.
that and there no point in having hd, if you can't connect it to all the tv's that have been released recently
Re: PS3 loses features before launch... hmm dont know your source but as far as i know what you're talking about is : the 20gb hdd one will indeed be missing the wifi and hdmi output. the 60gb one will have both these features. not read one single thing about them dropping blu-ray and i seriously doubt sony would even think about doing that for a second seeing as thats a huge part of their push for the machine. oh and last i read was that they are thinking of not even bothering releasing the two different consoles in the UK and are just going to plump for the 60gb version. i could be wrong but as far as i know that is all correct.
Re: Re: PS3 loses features before launch... The mag I read said exactly the same about them only releasing the 60gb version in the UK. It also said they'd dropped HDMI + Wi-Fi from the budget model and were considering dropping wi-fi from the final one. They've had problems with overheating and have had to re-design the front to allow more cooling (so it looks a lot more like PS2). They still seem to be having a few problems in getting Blu-Ray to work with it as well, the mag had an interview with one of the dev team and he said they were considering what to do with it (whether to leave it in or not). Personally I think they will; if they get it working everyone buying a PS3 gets a Blu-Ray and that will give them a huge headstart on HD-DVD.
