Sorry to bring-up the old PS3 pricing topic but I don't normally listen to what this journo Jack from the Grauniad has to say cause he talks out of his bum a lot, but maybe this time he has a point...

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/technol...poff_britain_playstation_3_will_cost_835.html

The psychological aspect of being under £400 would make a big difference, imo, and wouldn't be that much of a loss for Sony after all.

Anyone else see a price drop coming soon? I'd like to see one, as I think the specs of the PS3 look good but the price is scary.
 
^^^ The consumer will be the ultimate decider whether sony wants it or not. Unfortunately, i wont have say as i already imported one. Perhaps next time when i buy one..
 
Joebob you can Add Zipper Interactive (SOCOM Guys)to your list mate. :D

Also i suppose you could add Cellius, though they only have a 49% stake in that
 
eyetoy hd looks pretty imppresive :eek:

any release info about ?


im glad to see some positive vibes off the ps3 and bluray on this forum for once , seems to be a whole load of ps3 threads opening today that arent just slagging it off :p :D
 
DIRT will push next-gen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colin McRae: DIRT will push next-gen systems in ways we've not yet seen, executive producer Gavin Raeburn has told Eurogamer, and it's all thanks to the newly designed "Neon" engine.

"CMR 3, 4 and 5 were little more than extensions of the PS1 code base," he told us. "DIRT has all new and visually stunning engine that is pushing next-gen hardware to the max right from the off."

"The damage, particle effects, post-production, car physics, car audio and AI are all far in advance of anything we have yet seen on next gen."

Lofty aspirations, especially held against titles like MotorStorm, which is the best of the launch titles, at least as far as Raeburn is concerned.

Colin McRae: DIRT launches for the PS3, Xbox 360, and PC in June. The three versions will be almost identical, but Raeburn admits that Microsoft leads the way with its online service:

"Xbox Live set the benchmark with regards to online console gaming, so it is a compliment to Microsoft that we are endeavouring to replicate much of this on the PS3 and PC platforms."

There are no plans for a Wii version in June: it would simply take too much time, as it would have to be developed from the ground up to make use of the console's unique controls. Still, "we never say never, of course."

This also comes from IGN. Seems they've got all the good interviews and features to start the week out with! They took the time to give us their predictions for 2007 regarding Sony's console. We'll toss their predictions up, make our own, then turn the microphone to you guys.


Duke Nukem Forever ships at last, being the 10th anniversary of its inception
PSP's fate determined in 2007 -- new design, new features, lowered price, etc
PlayStation 3's promotional sales blitz takes on new heights
Sony goes for tilt + rumble controller, redesigns PS-Store to look more like XBL
The PS2 gets cheaper and multi-colored
Sony purchases many game studios to beef up its first and second party game developers
(personal favorite/hopeful) Many classic titles get revived, new entries revealed... cited were a new Chrono Trigger game (would we want a third title or a remake of the original?), new Lufia game (oh, please, that would be great... no more of the subpar GameBoy titles, please)... and others that would rock, like Blaster Master and Streets of Rage.
By December 31, 2007, Sony will slightly overtake Microsoft in worldwide sales.
Killzone gameplay will come as close as possible to match the debated E3 2005 trailer.
Metal Gear Solid 4 will get pushed to 2008... no surprise if that happens, really.

We predict the following: Sony will survive. That's it. The negative media attacks are starting to subside, new games are on the horizon and a worldwide launch will be realized by the end of March. From there, it's a guessing game. We'd like to agree with the classic game revival theory, too. Well, that's all we're going to stretch out and predict. What are your thoughts?.

Read the thread.


Sorry pal, i don't have the time to spend searching this tread for the one elusive answer to my one simple question. Sorry for the inconvenience to you.

Thank you to ic1male :D
 
Sony Computer Entertainment has started production on the previously announced 65nm CELL processor. All PlayStation 3 units so far have a 90nm processor inside, but this will change soon. As it seems Sony has started the massproduction of the 65nm processor, and this will have a few advantages.

First of all, this will mean a price cut for Sony on every PlayStation 3 sold. This is because the 65nm CELL processor is cheaper than the 90nm processor.

And second, this means a heatreduction for the PlayStation 3.

Also this 'new' processor is not only for the PlayStation 3, it's will also be used for more Sony or Toshiba products.

Whether this new 65nm processor will be in all PlayStation 3 units at the European launch is unknown. We expect Sony to announce this in the coming months. Don't expect a price drop though, because Sony will still lose a lot of money with this 'new' processor.
