[Voltaic Borusse]

Anyone have links to a condensed version of the PS3 Press Conference? The only one I know of is something like 600MB.

 

[Tom]

no i watched the full 2hr thing from gamespot live streaming (how sad) because i cant afford gamespot complete.

TROD.

 

[Voltaic Borusse]

I'm having trouble streaming through WMP9 for some strange reason. Or else I would have done what you did.

I've been downloading tiny bits and pieces of the conference, though.

 

[Tom]

yeah most of the best bits of the PR conference are put into peices, i didnt realise this until id watched the full thing having said that, id have missed the english guy's hillarious jokes if id have not watched it.

TROD.

E3 2005: PS3 Price Revealed?
One of the most expensive consoles ever created, according to Japanese reports.
by Matt Casamassina

May 17, 2005 - According a an article published in the May 17th edition of Japan's Mainichi Shimbun, the PlayStation 3 could be one of the most expensive mass-market videogame consoles ever created. Officials from Sony apparently told the newspaper that PlayStation 3s would sell in Japan for "less than 50,000 yen each." That translates to about $465 US dollars.

Sony unveiled its next-generation console at the Electronics Entertainment Expo 2005. The beast of a machine utilizes the powerful Cell processor, a custom-designed graphics chip by Nvidia, and 512MBs of RAM for a quantum leap in performance. The system will also be the first-ever to support high-def movie-playback out of the box, taking advantage of the upcoming Blu-ray Disc format.

Sony claims that PS3 will be roughly 35 times more powerful than PS2. If Mainichi Shimbun is correct, gamers will be asked to pay a hefty price for the high-end functionality.

IGN was unable to validate this news with Sony officials. Stay tuned for more as the story breaks.

I hope its not true It will hurt to dish out my entire weekly check on it. Maybe its $465 bundled up.

why don't you try IGN or www.gametrailers.com?

Remember guys, once PS3 is released don`t rush and get it right away..wait at least a month..there`s a reason behind this..

Usually the first ones that get shipped are the ones which would most likely break..


PS3 looks sweet.. I can`t wait to see how soccer games will look like on this puppy.

 

[Tom]

and if you keep your recipt then there isn a problem.

TROD.

 

[PhiLLer]

Just watched the press conference, bloody long!
It made me realise that the PS3 is actually better than I already thought it would be.

 

[johan]

Any experts in here who saw the PS3 system..know if todays modchip i.e DMS Messiah will work on PS3..

 

[ManU2000]

$465 for the PS3?!?! That's a little bit under half of what I've got in my bank account. Damn I need a new job.

 

[Internazionale]

Damn, it looks one great console in current era technology & appealing to me. It looks expensive for the price though...ah who cares ? I wanna have one.

I'll be purchasing warranties with my next-gen systems from now on.

 

[SlowSilver]

I watched the whole press conference last night, as Phil said, it looks much better than what I though it would be.

 

[Tom]

yes! I'm not the only sad one who watched it all, SlowSilver and Phil are here too

TROD.

 

[Daz]

they changed the controllers! :boohoo:

 

[Minus]

yeah u gonna get bomerang controllers, so if you get bored, then you can toss them around, like they do in australia...

 

[NottsSupporter]

I hate to dissapoint you mate, but I don't think you'll be able to throw them around like boomerangs. Chances are they'll break since I doubt that they will actually return to you when you throw them. I can see why you would make this misstake, since the shape is quite similar to a boomerang, but the aerodynamics need to be different for it to work.
