Don't think it will actually - sorry.

 

But this will work - £29.95 + £7.00 shipping 120GB

Here!

 

I'd personally go for the 320gb one i posted earlier.

 

remember you can buy a 2.5" hard drive enclosure for under a tenner so you can use your old drive as an external drive for your pc or ps3 too!

Impress Watch technology writer Hiroshige Goto has posted his latest "Weekly Overseas News" at the Japanese game and computing site. The subject, believe it or not, is PlayStation 4!

 

According to Goto, who doesn't cite any sources, Sony has started investigating the possibility of using the Cell Broadband Engine, the same CPU that powers the PS3, as a base for the new system and is currently seeking developer feedback. While it's possible that Sony will move away from the Cell, says Goto, Sony does appear at the moment to be moving towards an upgraded version of the current PS3 chipset as a basis for the next generation system.

 

The plan to use variants of Cell in future PlayStation iterations was always in place, explains Goto, which is why Sony invested so heavily in the chipset. However, while the use of the Cell in the PS4 may seem like Sony just sticking with its original plan, the real reason could be that the company in its current form doesn't have the reserves to create another chipset and build all the requisite development tools above it.

 

Going with Cell has the benefits of keeping production costs down for the PS4 and also allowing cutting game development costs due to a consistent architecture. Sony would also be able to include a smaller chip size from the start, potentially reducing the system's retail price.

 

The rest of Goto's article is mostly speculation as the highly respected writer considers how much of a performance increase we can expect from the PS4. According to Goto, Moore's Law suggests that Sony could go about including as many as 32 cores in the system (compared to the current 8). However, he doesn't think this is likely. Due to cost concerns, he thinks its more possible that Sony will stop with somewhere between 10 and 20 cores along with a small increase in clock rate. Looking at just the CPU, he says, the PS4 would have 2.x times as much power as the PS3.

 

Goto also feels that an early PS4 launch could be reasoning for the reuse of the Cell architecture. Assuming Sony wants to launch the PS4 earlier than it did the PS3 in comparison to the competition, going with a new architecture could be tough. According to Goto, it takes at least three years, and more usually four, to go from the start of chip development to an actual product. If Sony wanted a 2011 launch, for instance, they'd have to speed up the process, and one method for that, says Goto, is to use an existing architecture.

I'm not worrying myself about PS4 at the moment, but that seems to be a weird move, doubt it will happen.

Thats what i was thinking flameboy. The PS3 should have many years ahead of it yet.

 

I mean its quite concievable they spent so much money on the technology why not sell it to other companies or subcontract out its use for other types of machines. It is so powerful it doesn't even need to be gaming related.

Option 1: Go through a tonne of popular sites and get lucky.

Option 2: Be an idiot and buy one off eBay.

Option 3: Wait for the retail games to be released.

 

Those are basically your options.

I just had a hype rush. Me and a friend just exchanged PSN games and everything went fine. Anyone got Quest for Booty or other titles here? In exchange I have Snakeball, Wipeout or Stardust for your pleasure. This is awesome!

It's quality and easy. Here's what you do if you want games from me:

- make a new user

- I give you my email address and I make a temporary password that you use

- on the new user, make a new psn ID but choose the existing ID option

- enter my email and temp password

-then go on the PS store and go to 'View Downloads' and you just click on the downloads you want from me.

 

Then you can allow them to download for free. When giving people games make sure to clear all your billing info so that they cant use it

 

wanna try? if you have any games that is (btw this only works on up to 5 playstations).

 

What's quality is that both peope get to keep the game.
