Ginger_Chris Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 err guys: Although Sony did not note these changes in its pre-E3 press conference, printed material handed out by the company indicate that in addition to having a smaller hard drive, the $499 PS3 will not be able to read data from Sony memory sticks, SD or compact flash cards (a feature Sony touted Monday evening). Nor will it offer 802.11 b/g wireless compatibility. And perhaps most importantly to potential owners, the $499 PS3 will not have an HDMI output, which might prevent owners of recent high definition television sets from seeing the machine's lauded high definition graphics.

Colin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Yes, the downfall looks like it's beginning. PSP is doing so badly at the mo, and where can it go if there's no decent games coming out for it in Japan. PSP = A Failure for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamba Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I don't wanna trail through all of the back log so here I is. Sony's conference was awful. They struggled to get the crowd going and after having watched the whole conference (hours of my life wasted!) the only things I enjoyed were MGS4 and Heavenly Blade. Everything looked really meh. Just meh. And the new controller? Did they just tape a Warioware Twisted cartridge onto the back of the DualShock? I don't see the Tilt function being supported well at all, I think it will just become a gimmick. Also PSP as a rear view mirror? WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonmike04 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 That gamespot thing is bullshit, surely if they had the idea in 2003, wouldnt it be patented? Also, how come the original controller did not have this feature? But you cant blame him for trying, it cools down the fanboy arguments, but with high arrogance.

mario114 Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I've logged on a little late, so I'll catch up on ranting about sony: "Stupid sony never comming up with thier own ideas, what a blanet ripp, we joked about this, thinking not even they would sink this low, it appears they infact would.....@:"!{P) etc....etc..... The worst is when the siad "inivation", bullS&*T, it is, and everyone knows it. Ok rant over.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 well technically they didn't copy Nintendos new contoller as there tilt feature is like a 3rd analogue controller thats all, it doesn't even have forcefeed back in it. Why carn't we love all game companies, why, why has there to be all this hate in the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ysm Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 So what does the $499 PS3 actually do then? This is beyond a farce now. It holds doors open rather well.

Owen Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Well i liked '8 Days' and Naught Dog's game, but are they launch titles? Doubt it.... mario_jr i did read all 34 pages, didn't take me that long. Dazzybee, i'll take your advice. Thanks. I'm un-hyping myself just incase this is a letdown. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towers Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 8 days was the only thing that impressed me. Gameplay wise and graphics wise nothing blew me away. Naughty Dog's game looked like it suffered from bad frame rate problems, however they will definatley iron that problem out. Resistence looked crap though.. really bad I thought. Everything else was near enough CGI and that never impresses me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
