PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - Paco - 15th March 2006 Quote:News is sort of thin now...but lo and behold, I can present to you a beautiful bulletpoint list of current PS3 info from the Japanese conference. http://www.gaming-age.com/news/2006/3/15-27 PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - Paco - 15th March 2006 Blu-Ray Only Quote:March 14, 2006 - At its PlayStation Business Briefing 2006 in Japan, Sony announced its production plans for BD-ROM discs (Blu-ray). Firstly, all PlayStation 3 games will ship on Blu-ray to help prevent piracy. In other words, no "cheap" DVD releases; Blu-ray only. Of course, it'll still play PS2 and movies on DVD, but all PS3 releases will be on Blu-ray. 60 GB HDD standard Quote:As part of the PlayStation Business Brief today in Tokyo, Ken Kutaragi confirmed that the PlayStation 3 will require a hard drive peripheral for games. Developers are being told to create games with the assumption that a hard disk will be present. It's live!...? Quote:At the PlayStation Business Briefing 2006, Ken Kutaragi has just added another infamous quote to his belt, this time stating that PS3 games are "live" and that the PS3 concept is "4D".

PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - lazyfatbum - 15th March 2006 So they're actually going for a worldwide launch for November? For Japan, USA and Europe? Amazing. I didn't think they had it in them. The 420 price point sounds like an odd number, it'll probably get rounded down to 400 or up to 450 for the states. But what does the package include? And what the hell "It was designd with the HDD in mind but officially TBA"?

I understand the meaning of the individual words and it uses proper grammar rules, but other than that this entire statement is meaningless. PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - Great Rumbler - 15th March 2006 Ken Kutaragi is known for saying all kinds of insane things. Such as, that people would be able to "jack into the Matrix" with the PS2. So far I haven't seen anything like that. PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - Dark Jaguar - 15th March 2006 At least that's a fully fledged statement. I can actually understand what that means, even if it is a blatant lie. This though, it is gibberish. PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - A Black Falcon - 15th March 2006 Quote:Ken Kutaragi is known for saying all kinds of insane things.

Anyway, Sony will have a hard time being ready for a worldwide launch in November. They need to try, and know that it's important to get something out, especially with Microsoft steadily gaining ground in the West with 360, but still, getting it out there worldwide... at best, it'll have shortages as bad as the 360 has had... http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2006/03/15/can_sony_manage_a_global_ps3_rollout_lets_do_the_math.html PS3 details (60 GB HDD, Worldwide Launch, etc) - Smoke - 16th March 2006 GAF's Sony Conference Summary There was also new PSP info: PSP: - videophone in autumn - GPS (Hot Shots Golf with GPS revealed; October 2006 for Japan) - Eyetoy - Flash support with next update - Mem.Stick boot support in autumn - first-gen PS1 official emulator - buy/download games from net - 199 CORE PACK PSP being released in USA/Europe by end of March (March 22nd for Europe) - 19,800 yen Ceramic White PSP CORE PACK from 15 April in Japan |
