ps3 release date

ps3 release date

november 2006 worldwide

my bday is nov 6th woohoo

Mines the 2nd!

WWOOOOOO HHOO... hang on... our lass will never go for this

if they manage a worldwide release id be very suprised

theyve already had enough of a fuck on with this blueray disk, to mass manufacture enough for a worldwide release is gonna be a tall order.

sounds like they are filling us full of shit

its good that it has blue ray though, means bigger games

not really. just means they wont bother spending as much time compressing and cutting out not needed bits and pieces.

yeah maybe, but it also means they don't have to cut bits out that they actually want in the game because there isn't enough space on the disc.

Games are already short enough as it is with taking about a week to complete, some even in a day, i don't like the idea of this being made even shorter.

Blue ray will push the price through the roof.

Stand alone players are shifting for ~ £1k..

I can see this being at least £500 on release.

November will never be done though.. last I heard they had serious issues sorting the cores out on the cell chip..

sony deleloped the blue ray so they will get it for however much they won't though won't they.

From a certain angle you are correct.. however there is always a production cost to items.. and until the company refine the process of producing the item the price will unfortunately be high

yeah your right but it looks like there making there money back from all mugs that will pay £1000 for a dvd player

I reckon the cost will be £300, sony always lose money on the consoles, they recoup all the money back from games and extras. They aint stupid, they'll know no one is gonna pay more for a console than a pc.

"24 the game" on PS2 was across 2 DVD's when i saw the backup version

the PS3 will be around £300 - any more than that and people just won't pay it - it won't be competative

you'll find all your console needs here i think

check out the video of the in game graphics on that moto cross game its pretty special like

The graphics are also probably pre rendered

as for the blue ray disks being bigger meaning longer games... nah.. games arent made long any more , the space will be used for higher res textures, improved sound and other crap.

chances are the games wont be any longer, instead they will be packed with fmvs and pre rendered scenes, and there is a good chance that with disks with such a massive capacity.. and the ability to hold massive textures etc... the ps3 wont actualy be powerful enough to run some of it

Sony spokes people have already stated that the system is going to be more expensive than other counterparts. the production cost for 1 console is around 700 dollars, and they will be on sale here i reckon for ....


450

thats my prediction anyway

Do you think there will be a rush like there was with the 360 cause I can see a nice money making scheme if there is

defiantelty - it's all marketing tactics... i remember the PS2 coming out... it was like "they've got 50 at dixons at the metro centre!" que loads of people belting up there with £300 in their hands! i was one of them

I think some raiding the savings account will be in order I might pre order a few. When are they being released to pre order?
