What the hell happened to the Silver PS3? Wasn't the new 40 GB supposed to be Silver? I mean I don't care for any of the games, but I did really like the color. It looks like the 40 GB is the same old black...sigh.

That was just a Prototype Colour

Black looks good anyway Matches my TV PSP and PS2

I think Sony said, that someday there will be alternate colors, but that is not a priority at the time.

I think it's white now, I hear it's available in Japan I think~

 

dunno if it's shiny white or ceramic white like the PSP, makes me wonder if they'll have a pink one later on

[TheDude5000]

I know it was the color for the E3 2005 prototype...that's not what I'm talking about. I could have sworn I saw images of a box featuring a Silver PS3 a month or so ago, and this would be the new 40 GB..

 

Ok I found these:

Same here. Hopefully school affairs don't intervene. I didn't reserve but I'm sure I'm one of the 5 people in my community that have a PS3.

Any Aussies in here interested in GH3 for PS3?

Anybody catch a glimpse of the new US ad campaign that's finally come around? It's about time Sony started actually pushing their product. Effects are really cool too, along with some heavy rock playing in the background. Much more effective than their past attempts with the PS3, and better than the 360 ads imo.

 

CoD4 is supposedly the exact game on PS3 too, no graphical degradation or choppy frame rate...Which is good.

[TheDude5000]

Actually I hear the PS3 version is a tad inferior in the graphics department..some reports of jaggies and such.

 

But since noone seems to have a clue about this Silver PS3, I'll bid you a fond...good bye.

[VideoPoker]

The plan is to pick up CoD4 after school tomorrow.

 

I have a few buddies that are getting it at 10am but the Best Buy I'm going to won't have any copies until 4pm.

Eh....it's going to available in White and Black in Japan. For U.S, it's black only, for now. It looks better with the black finish anyway.

 

Silver was never announced (for the 40GB that is), just shown at E3, but they also showed black and white at E3.....so I think they just decided to go with black for launch.

Dude, they're the same. Check the reviews. I've played the game at a friends house and didn't notice any jaggies so if they were really bad I am sure it would be easier to notice. It's fine. Ugh....

yes exactly, no ports for the SD card, memory stick duo or any o6ther flash type card also two of the usb ports were remove to cut down on costs i presume. as for the pictures if you have a pc then you can use the media server feature to get you photos onto the ps3 or if your camera has a usb cord.

...or just a flash drive (thumb drive), you can also use external card readers with the PS3 so you could get that for the PS3.

Hi everyone. Here’s a preview of the next PLAYSTATION 3 firmware update (2.00) scheduled to release within the next few days. This update contains features that will allow you to receive news directly from us on everything PlayStation, enhance the way you access and organize your media, and allow you to customize your XMB in new ways.

 

Here’s a closer look at the new features:

 

You’ll notice this icon in the Network category of the XMB. This is the Information Board.

 

 

 

 

Once activated, you’ll notice scrolling headlines in the upper right-hand corner of your screen. We’ll be delivering the latest news on new games, PLAYSTATION Store updates, hardware, accessories and lots more through the Information Board. Click on the Information Board icon and you’ll be able to see all of the headlines and click through for more detail. The headlines and associated stories will be updated on a regular basis. You can choose not to display the Information Board, but you never know what you might miss, so I’d recommend keeping it on.

 

We’ve added a nice enhancement to Remote Play called Remote Start, to use Remote Play locally or from a Wi-Fi hotspot, you needed to make sure that your PS3 was on. With Remote Start this is no longer necessary. As long as your PS3 is in standby mode, you’ll be able to turn your PS3 on remotely via the PSP. You can then use Remote Play to access media on your PS3, and when you’re finished you can put your PS3 back into standby mode.

 

Another feature we’ve added with this update is the ability to set themes on your PS3. Themes will change the whole look of your XMB; the background, icons, and in some cases sounds on your XMB will completely change. We will be providing themes on PlayStation.com and through the PLAYSTATION Store. Once you have downloaded a theme, under Settings go to Theme Settings, select Theme and then choose a theme to display or install a new theme. We are also providing the ability for you to get creative and make your own original themes.

 

We’ve also added a new way to organize your photos and music on the PS3 - you can now create custom playlists for all of your music and photos.

 

Finally, regular readers of this blog may have noticed that I’m using a new avatar. You will see that logo above on your XMB representing the new PLAYSTATION Network category. You’ll find the PLAYSTATION Store and Account Management in this category.

 

We’ve added several other features in this update. I’ll soon be back with more details with a quick video demo of some of the new features.

 

As always thanks for all of your support and feedback.

 

I wouldn't count In-Game XMB out right now, but it doesn't look good. Those are some good features though.

We just bought a PS3 yesterday. I'm so wrapped.

 

We bought The Edler Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and rented Skate.

 

Both awesome games.

 

Now I'm going to join everyone else, and twiddle my thumbs waiting for GTA IV.

[MMFF]

Sony Lied!!!!!!

 

2.0 is not coming out in a few days. It is out now. I am downloading it.

[deathdealer]

meh, 2.0 is a disappointment.

 

wow, now i can edit my background or have it airbrushed.

 

it also makes my ps3 slower too.

[sainraja]

I liked the update. It would have been a lot better if XMB access was available with it but I can live without it (for now, they do need to add the ability to check your messages while playing though.) I love the customizable themes. I was waiting for this.

[MMFF]

Thing is, Sony knew 2,0 was f*cking hyped as f*ck. They should have got that in game XMB in it. To me, this is 1.95. The features are cool, but not cool enough to be 2.0.

 

I'm using air brush or whatever it's called, with my GTA background, to avoid confusion of me being a homosexual. We need some cool f*cking themes. Anyone know how you create your own yet? I see the Instal thing, but what do you have to do?

[VideoPoker]

Loving CoD4, but the open mic is as gay as I was expecting.

 

Also, v2.00 = lamesauce

[deathdealer]

glad i'm not the only one that thought that.

 

 

anyways, I still need to pick up CoD 4.

Yeah...I'm gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there.

But I don't want to nitpick or start a war here, I'm sure it's a great game on both consoles. Speaking of which, it'd be cool to have PS3/360 cross platform online play...

Lol, hardly worth the screens. I mean its barely noticeable to be honest.

 

Heres a video, spot the difference.

[TheDude5000]

Hey how's the PS1 emulation on the PS3? How much do the games cost on PS3, and do they have solid framerates? Is the PS1 emulation on PSP solid too? I'm guessing the filesizes would be huge though, if they kept in all the audio and FMV's, so I'd have to get a new memory stick..

[Eljan81]

Will I be missing anything important without playing the first 3 CODs?

Any Gran Turismo/driving game fans?

I have a 4GB stick for the PSP but 8GB is probably better if you plan on downloading a lot of PS1 games to your PSP. PS1 games play fine.....as for PS2, they play fine, on the 60GB or 80GB (some exceptions for the 80GB.)

 

As for COD4, if you are getting or going to get the 360 version, why are you worried about the PS3 one? The thread you linked to, are screens taken from a television with a Digital Camera, I couldn't tell a difference at all. Watch the video Funky linked to.

 

And System Wars is hardly a credible place to give a link to because I could easily give you another link from another site where people have said the PS3 version has a slight advantage. You are just looking very hard to find anything different here. After watching the GT comparison, I have to say that they are the same. It's a better comparison than the one CVG did. (CVG's was SD quality.)
