Quote:THE NEWS ABOUT PS3s being scarce at E3 is kind of troubling to me, but not totally unexpected.
We are about six months from launch, and debugging should be done, prototypes and dev kits should flow like water, and all the tame magazines should already have one. The situation is rather different though, they are nowhere, and there are two related reasons behind this.
The first is size. People tell us that the current PS3s are about 50% too large to fit in the sleek but empty boxes they have been showing off. This is a problem, but a solvable one, electronics always get smaller. Time solves all, and there is still time, just not much.
More troubling to me is that Sony is still bidding on components for the boxes. This means the development is far from final, and it will be debugging up to, and in a Microsoft overheating manner, past the last minute. Not a good sign.
Overall, I think it will be out late in the year, but Sony will push the launch out as far as humanly possible. If you have one on your non-denominational year end holiday list, you may be waiting in XBox360esqe lines to get your toys. Basically, don't hold your breath waiting, you may be blue till next spring. µ
It's an explanation of the premise behind some new HD tech that'll get us into the Terabyte range a bit quicker than that one fellow with the other idea. Seems more feasible too, though that's not really explained very well by disco dancing bits.
Gameinformer's APRIL issue, APRIL, meaning it COULD BE fake, however; this would be alot of work for a fake. Prerendered? not entirely sure yet, but, but it's.......
Though, the guy does take an odd egotistical stance about introversion (or that may be a sense of humor, at any rate I certainly think the extroverted standpoint is something with it's own merits), this seems to sum it up well.
So hey, it's not that I don't like talking with people, it's just that I only partake in short bursts and then have to recooperate afterwards.
(By the way, contrary to this fellow, I actually am somewhat emotinally parsinonous. At any rate, my mother is the same way. We both will go to small parties but tend to recooperate afterwards. Further, any continous gathering situation or travelling from one party to another over the course of a few days is out of the question. That's a lot of socializing to take in all at once.)
