I know that this is not real, but I must say that of all the ones I have seen circulating on the internet thus far..This is by all means the coolest looking one to date..Take a peek :

Seen that image floating around the last 3 days. Good Photoshop that's for sure. As if Sony would ever put UMD in the PS3 ...

[firehawk12]

Heh, maybe by that time, UMD will replace DVD.

Still, if it were really, it would look pretty sexy.

[Nacster]

Isn't UMD the format they r using for the PSP..I think it would be cool to have a cross platform compatability between the PSP and PS3..I read an article that there r whispers that something like that is a possibilty..Who knows only time will tell I guess

[tmpz]

It looks nice, but using UMD's are so limited space. PS3 is suppose to be a powerful system, if the games are small, either it will be short with crazy graphics or longer with crappy graphic.

Heh, can't wait for PS3

[DJXP]

Games will be on blu-ray discs. It would be neat though if they somehow made it so that it could read the umd as well.

Yup those are good fakes. I've seen those at a few animation/vfx boards. Pretty good job modelling but the lighting/reflections is a dead give away because the artist was using free HDR maps to light the scene in 3ds Max or Maya. If you look closely at the round silver disc surrounding the UMD text you can see that he didn't use enough interations to make it round and you can see that its not perfectly circular and smooth.

The real PS3 will look much nicer than that.

Looks like a projector, but well done.

An Interesting article that writes about comments that were made by SCEE Developement Boss Phil Harrison:

I cant wait to see what the final product can do. Imagine it modded.

[Fantaz]

Blu-ray burners are probably going to cost a lot when they will first come out. I just hope PS3 will have harddrive "backup" support linked to allow a PC network connection.

^Great theory...it could work...

Oh you want the games streamed via the 100Mbit pipe?
Imagine downloading a 40GB game image. That's gonna hurt

I love all the "info" Sony is putting out. There is almost no way they're gonna hit Spring for launch.
