It's fitting their slogan is 'welcome change'...because i'm going to welcome the change that all the sony fanboys will be buying 360's. Soooo sick of little kids telling me the PS2 is "so much better then the xbox" and that i'm just and idiot for saying that the xbox is a better system. ARggh. lol

Official Playstation 3 Thread
http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05...s_6124681.htmlPlayStation 3 announced for 2006
Sony confirms the name and release window of its next-generation console in Los Angeles, will use Blu-Ray disc format.
LOS ANGELES--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce their next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it now is officially called.
The name was not unexpected, since Sony had been running an extensive teaser-ad campaign prepping the public for the PlayStation 3. The company had laid a blanket of posters around the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Bus stalls and billboards around the convention center proclaimed "Prepare for Chang3" in the distinctive PlayStation font with partial shots of the Dual Shock controller's square-circle-triangle-X buttons.
Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3, will use Blu-Ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also supporrd CR-ROM, CDR+W, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R. It also confirmed the machine would be backwards compatible all the way to the original PlayStation.
Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz, a detachable 2.5 inch HDD slot, six usb 2.0 ports, Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, a compact flash memory slot, Compact flash slot, 2 hdmi outputs, 1 av multi out, 1 SPDIF optical output, and 1-gigabit Ethernet built in port.
The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video. Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "Super computer for computer entertainment."Last edited by JayPatel; Feb 28th, 2009 at 02:29 AM.

I'm gonna get a 360 regardless. Revolution I'm kinda iffy on. I think the DS is good enough for my Nintendo fix (unless they blow me away at E3). Sony I may buy but it depends on what they're gonna do at E3. Highly highly doubtful they can release when the blu-ray tech is not set in stone thanks to the deal making they're making with toshiba coupled with the fact nobody outside of Sony has near-alpha devkits means no way in hell.
They might do a Nintendo (see N64) and announce it will be released until a month before it's supposed to and just keep delaying it just to screw Xbox over._______________

LOL, i had all 3 and play games on pc. Rule of thumb for buying consoles is to buy the console with the games you like. Unlike a pc, a console is only as good as its games.

PlayStation 3 could very well blow away all the competitors and continue to be the market leaders in the next-generation. But we're going to have to wait and see on that. I still can't wait!

Maybe with the PS3 Sony can FINALLY hit the numbers they claimed with the PS2 (the ones that Dreamcast actually surpassed for a while,) although it'll be 4 years too late.

This time round the consoles will be more powerful than the PCs for some time, considering PCs will get multicore and EDRAM based GPUs in 2006/2007. Originally Posted by divx
