Rayo Puño Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 (edited) The story is more than one page, behold!key points: * PS3 will have online service that goes beyond xbox live * PS3 will be a DVR * It will connect with psp * There are alot of games being worked on for it right now in the US (alot more then what people know about) * The final ps3 dev kit is alot faster than they thought (according to the developer) * The ps3 will have an itunes type service to let you download HI DEF movies, music, etc * The Ps3 will take the media center functionality the 360 has even further * PS3 will serve as a location free player for the psp, means you can watch the dvd's that you have in your psp on your psp (from anywhere in the world), or any other video files you have on your ps3, though this is still only being planned. * PSP will be able to send its files straight to the psp from anywhere in the world, and it can also control its DVR functionalities * Firmware updates will add more functionality, much like with the psp * The Blu Ray Player functionality doesnt cost as much as a stand alone player because the Cell and RSX can take care of alot of the stuff the ps3 will need to do to be able to read the disks * Fall release date for ps3, no release date for online service, but expected to launch w/ the system The info was taken from the latest PSM magazine. Looks good to me. Source Edited February 5, 2006 by Rayo Puño Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbilly123 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I have always said, Sony will not release ps3 1 year after the 360's release and be let it worse than the 360, this will blow bill gates' bare ass out of the water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Andreas Nut Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Sounds great, Im still not sure if I should buy an Xbox 360 or get my PS2 fixed and play that until PS3 comes out. ~SAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CtrlAltSupr Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Good stuff. I was already buying one without knowing any of this anyways... But yeah, great news. Now, about the DVR thing... does it mean like it will do TiVo stuff? sorry for being that simpletontarded. Also, does it say if to play older games (PS2/PS1) it would need stuff like what the 360 needs for older Xbox games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uno Carb Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I thought the Ps3 was supposed to be released sometime in May? Well, with what is still being planned, May is way too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter¥ Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I thought this was just a rumor from PSM. Wow, I guess this means the rumors are confirmed. Hells yea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Jones Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Rayo probably typed it out of the magazine and miss read some things. Good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayo Puño Posted February 5, 2006 Author Share Posted February 5, 2006 No, if you read it you'd see It's a post quoted from another forum. Obviously the guy made a couple typos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dublo 7 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 * Firmware updates will add more functionality, much like with the psp Kick ass. Can't wait for PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRotor Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 lnk plz. Because I can't really trust the validity of a simple post on a forum without any references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trows Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 It doesn't seem all that impressive to me, just "OMG OUT MEDIA THING MIGHT BE BETTER THAN THE 360 WOW" and "OH MY GAWSH YOU CAN USE THE PSP WITH IT" Can't say that anything the ps3 (or 360) offers are selling points for me. No dough this post will get questions and and maybe even some fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knife Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Well, to be honest, this still hasn't changed my mind... i'm still getting a PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cran. Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Well, who cares if you can use your PSP with it? Meh, personally I think it'll probably be hype. Sony confirmed that they weren't going to have a proper only thing like live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smellton Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Just remember, all these features are gonna cost money, hopefully not too much. I'm still not sure what console I'm gonna get, and I'm only going to decide when the PS3 is actually released, not when more 'facts' from PS3 magazines, that are obviously going to exaggerate the truth come out.

EmSixTeen Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 lol, they say these things but don't ellaborate. C;'mon PSM, it's bad enough it's your own mag, but barely saying anything? Don't know if anybody saw this either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_-playero-_ Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 umm..isn't the dev kit usually HARDware? Well, I don't know... the XDK was software and was very easy to get in the usual places.. and it was software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vALKYR Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 umm..isn't the dev kit usually HARDware? Devkit is mostly Software and prolly also Hardware to put a finalized product on DVD/Blu-Ray Disc/Floppy Disc whatever... PS3 for me all the way by the way.

sarinc Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 does anyone know if there will be online fees?.And i heard that you can only play your games that are coded into your ps3 if thats true then you cant rent games or take em to friends house without bringing the whole system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G MONEY $$$ Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Well, we'll see how this all plays out. There are rumors that the PS3 might not come out until 2007. Also anything above $500 will kill sales and Sony is probably gonna lose at least a billion in the first couple years after launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
