TiE23 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Now we have an idea on how much a PS3 will cost. $500? TiE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoxStar Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 *looks back to the days of 2000* originally posted by some Sony fanboy 600 mhz, OMG this thing is gonna cost a fourtunorzzz!!!11!1!!1 It'll be 300 or else no one will buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yeah, sounds about right. @ $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 It could cost more... it will be a HD-DVD player (/ recorder?) as well, and most likely an internet appliance. If Sony is smart (and I have no reason to believe they aren't) they will set this thing up to replace half a dozen different components in your living-room entertainment center... and perhaps even your PC...

Boba Rhett Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Looks great although it sounds like it may prove extremely difficult to develop things on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-64 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Someone should make a av of the chip with the title of "synergistic processing units" It wouldn't fit thought, but it would be cool. X) Originally posted by Anthony **** the PS3 I want a FREAKING PC with one of these things in it damnit. Temper temper. Read it again, they said they're developing computers with it for graphics stuff. Not like you would need that powerfull computer for the petty things you do.

edlib Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Originally posted by TiE 23 My receiver, VCR, DVD player, and 5 disc CD Player will be replaced? Nah.... TiE DVD player... yes. That's a given. Sony has already announced support of Blu-Ray HD-DVD on this player. Also, with a big enough hard drive and HD-DVD/RW recording and a built in HD cable tuner it could also kill TIVO and your VCR (except for playing back old tapes.) It will almost certainly read, rip, and store CDs and MP3s as well as DVD-A... just hook it up to your surround receiver and get rid of a CD changer. Now add a network port (also a given,) some kind of simple OS, a wireless mouse/ keyboard combo and you are surfing the net on your high-def TV. Originally posted by Anthony **** the PS3 I want a FREAKING PC with one of these things in it damnit. It will happen... and it WILL be a Mac. Mark my words.

El Sitherino Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Now I'm tempted to get a PS3 just in hopes for the PS2linux team to make PS3linux. Oh gawd that'll be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 They'll do everything they have to do to keep it down in price and get it into households. Even if it means losing money on the console itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 That's the way it has been on every game console ever released. Console systems always lose money. They make it back selling games and licenses to make games. They'll throw everything at this one in order to kill Microsoft and the XBOX, and to dominate the home-entertainment consumer-electronics market even more them they already do. Sony is also one of the few compnies behind Blu-Ray HD-DVD... wich means that all the movies released on HD-DVD by Sony Studios will most likely ONLY be in that format. If the PS3 is the cheapest (or only) player that will playback that format they will have a lock there as well. Sony got stung with BETAMAX... they're gonna fight hard to see that doesn't ever happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 $60 for a game? Yeah right... It seems that Sony is the only company brave enough to come out and say "hey, this is what we got..." while Xbox and Nintendo are keeping mostly everything a secret. I don't see the point of having a DVD player in my console when I already have a DVD player. Its not like it improves the quality or anything like that. I wonder how much this cell processor will be worth on a PC. This whole thing takes me back a few years, to when I read something about a nanobyte on these forums. Someone said something about a hardrive that was made with 1 nanobyte (1000 GBs) and that its super small in physical size. Thats simular to this.

Originally posted at: http://www.dvd-recordable.org Subsequent to its announcement in Tokyo about a month ago, Sony Computer Entertainment today issued a press release confirming its commitment to use the Blu-ray Disc ROM format as the primary storage medium for its next game console. The Blu-ray discs used in the next-generation PlayStation will reportedly be dual-layer, single-sided versions with a storage capacity of 54 gigabytes, compared to the 4.7 gigabytes available to most PlayStation 2 games stored on single-layer DVD-ROMs. Single-layer BD-ROM discs will hold 30 gigabytes. 54 gig games!!!!! Not to mention movies in super-high def (almost twice the current resolution is possible) with uncompressed, high-bitrate multi-channel sound... There WILL be a noticable difference in the quality all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Bah I give it a year, a year and a half. Then they'll come up with a faster processor for PC and we'll be back at laughing at the little consoles' performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
