ps3


Variety recently published an 'interview' with Howard Stringer the CEO of Sony. In this interview Variety make a few presumptions and speculations about the PS3, and came to the convincing conclusion that the PS3 will be delayed till the end of this year. However, Joystiq has pointed out that much of the speculation of this delay is purely from Variety.

With so much hype going around about Sony delaying the PlayStation 3, its almost impossible to determine what is actually happening. If you google PS3 news, you come up with a huge list of 'news' articles that have actually very little actual content from Sony. Without any firm confirmations or denials from Sony, this media frenzy is certainly spiraling out of control.

 » Variety announces BLUE-RAY Problems....kind strange.

As a engineer, I think the Blu-Ray feature is the most easy task for PS3. Just need a simple firmware (software).

Sony is just correcting bugs, and add funcionality. And Testing, Testing, Testing and Testing.

PS3 has to many features (PS2 compatiblity, Wireless network, 8 wireless joysticks, LiveService, USB Support, Pen-Drive Support, HDD-Suport, IPOD Support, Digital Camera Support, Mp3 and Atrack3 plus MEDIA CENTER, MPEG-xVID-DIVx Media Center....)

i think there are about 3 varieties of thinker with regards the ps3 launch,

optimists who believe what sony say and are readying for a spring launch

realists who are weighing it up and probably reckon it's in summer or something

and pessimists like those weird 'analysts', who believe the end of the world is nigh and that ps3 will come late 2007... or something equally bad.


they say be a pessimist so you're not disappointed, but if you're an optimist you see nothing to be disappointed in. i'm still enjoying the pre-launchnews build up though.

 » This is the true info on the PS3

Here are my two cents on the PS3's future:

Release date:

On or after May 23 (release date of Blu Ray) but before the end of June

Price:

There will be Core and Premium versions of the system just like with the Xbox 360, priced at $299 and $399 respectively.

The Core version comes with one controller and no hard drive, while the Premium version comes with two controllers, preloaded games, and an 80GB hard drive.
