lukeskywalker1 Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I swear somewhere I heard about a nanobyte. Well, I just did a quick search, and I think your right, nothing of importance came up. Sith for the win... again.
Astrotoy7 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 sony seems to be defintely going for teh jugular in terms of evolving the PS from a mere gaming console to a multifunction unit..... and yes, as mentioned by many posters above, the key factorz arent roXXorz speeds and geekdroolworthy specs, but COST. If its too pricey, mum n dad wont get a ps3 for their kiddies for X-mas, etc.... which you have to admit is a *huge* chunk of the sales pie. If it just relied on us gamin mad fools to throw our hard earned $$$ at it, sony wouldnt be making the crazy profits it does on gaming/consoles... I also agree with edlib, in an adrenaline rush of one-upmanship, the Mac will probably reach the 4ghz finish line first... its value to the 'average gamer' = zero mtfbwya
Lynk Former Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 It's funny how people rave on about "Sony's" new processor when all three console companies are looking to IBM and the same kind of technology to put into their systems.
RebelScum! Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by TiE 23 I would love to get the PS3, if I had a spare $600. :-\ TiE a point is made.

Revan Solo Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 128 Bit to 4 GHz??? What is going on there? I get the feeling that you can't stop the PS 3!
Revan Solo Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by RebelScum! a point is made. 600 $????????????????????????????????????? Really?
ET Warrior Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Come on Revan, you know better than to double post. Especially when both posts are as short as yours.
BongoBob Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 To be a bit more specific on Siths post, all the GC and PS2 need are the HDs. Tehn, all three would have all the needs of a basic PC

Tehn, all three would have all the needs of a basic PC They already have memory systems, what they lack is a versatile OS. Get PS2 linux on your ps2, boom you have a PC.

I'd actually like to play the games They haven't even stuck with a design for their console yet, so how the **** are we supposed to know that they won't change the processing power? HE SHOOTS HE SCORES!!!!
El Sitherino Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by Troopr-Undr-Fir No thanks... I'd actually like to play the games you can still play games, just not while you have the linux running. the linux installs on the HD, power up using the linux for ps2 disc and you boot into linux.
lukeskywalker1 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Guys, its not written in stone.. or anywhere for that matter that the console will be $600. How much was the PS2... $400? GCN was like $250 or something.
Samuel Dravis Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by InsaneSith you can still play games, just not while you have the linux running. They could pull a M$ and disable online play for modified boxes...which is what I think he meant.
MTV2 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 now that we've seen the processor, how about the console?hm?
Troopr-Undr-Fir Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by Samuel Dravis They could pull a M$ and disable online play for modified boxes...which is what I think he meant. No I meant that if I even had the desire to buy the HD for my PS2, I wouldn't suffer a fatal system crash, just to put linux on it. The HD seems like a waste of money anyway, since I have things that do what it would be able to do, 10 times over... Besides, I don't think it to be necessary to mod any game console, unless it betters the gaming experience

TiE23 Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Sith, shut yo mouf before I have to explain the System+Games=Profit to you. And what proof do you have that Sony wants people to make their PS3 into a Linux? TiE
ZBomber Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by lukeskywalker1 Sith for the win... again. ZBomber with the assist? Maybe? I wonder if Playstation will stick with the name PS3. After awhile, it might become like those damned "Now #" CD's!

Yeah...because unoriginality is awesome! Come on, call it the Sony Dominatrix or something...I want newdammit! I hope Microsoft doesn't call it the Xbox 2. That is weak sauce.
Acrylic Posted February 9, 2005 Author Posted February 9, 2005 Originally posted by ET Warrior Yeah...because unoriginality is awesome! Damn Straight. Plus, I can't think of anything good taht would fit. Playstation cubed? Playstation tres/drei/some other language I DONT KNOW!!! BAH.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 9, 2005 Posted February 9, 2005 I think it's already called Playstation tres in spanish speaking countries and Playstation drei in Germany >_> I dunno what kind of name they could have. Maybe the PSMC, PlayStation Multimedia Center. That's a bit long and doesn't have any umph though...oh what do I care, call Sony's marketing department!
