The official Ps3 thread

I thought there'd be a bit more interest at the force-feedback news posted a bit before. What are the chances of Sony bringing out a new six-axis controller featuring rumble in the near future?

What a bargain, you saved about £200 there!

Is it a jap or a US one? I'm guessing US since it has madden.

US :D I'd rather have a us model aswel due to america getting games a few months before us and also it's a lot cheaper to import them!

Have you had confirmation or denial that Casina Royale on BR will be a free-be in the European box?

I hope its true as I think its a great movie, but I somehow doubt it will happen.

I personally cant see that being much cheaper as I reckon you are paying £50 a game and therefore either getting a controller or the remote for free with the other one being £25 (or a £20 controller and a £5 remote) nothing really amazing unless of course the BR games are going to be even more costly than the X360 premium games?
 
SCEA president Jack Tretton says that the phenomenal success of the PS2 has given gamers "unrealistic" expectations for its next-gen console, in an interview with EGM.

"Because we're in that leadership position, there are a lot of expectations thrust upon us and some of them are a little unrealistic," Tretton says in the interview.

"If we were a distant third in the platform race, people would have a warm spot in their hearts for the good old days of PlayStation and they'd actually root for us to get back on top," he continues. "But I don't know if we want to pay the price to get that kind of [love]"

But regardless of the pressure pilled on by Microsoft's head-start to the market, Tretton is confident that Sony will remain the market leader in the forthcoming console battle. "I think we've got a better machine," he says. "I think we've got a better business model, and I think we're going to win in the long term."

PlayStation 3 is out in Europe on March 23.

I dont know if anyone noticed but most of the hyping are done by the asian bosses.....I think sometimes it is down to how their ideas are being transferred from their language to english...And no i aint sticking up for them, just a thought.

I've always thought Sony's plan was more long term anyway. Some website's (cant link as i dont remember which) have stated the Cell may be the key to them considerably lowering the production and development costs of the PS4.

Background downloading in March firmware update
Sony Computer Entertainment President Phil Harrison, in an interview with GameInformer magazine, let slip a new detail regarding the March PS3 firmware upgrade. Firmware v1.6 will include background downloads which will allow you to multitask while a trailer, demo or PS1 game download off the PlayStation Store.

GI: Well, it was very important, especially for me. There was all of this talk about the big update when the console hits Europe in March. You mentioned today, background downloads. Will that be part of it, and what are some of the other things that you have planned for that?

Harrison: The only thing I can talk about is that background downloading will be part of the 1.6 upgrade. There’s a bunch of other stuff, but Kawanishi-san would kill me if I was to reveal all of the details.

Background downloading is definitely a welcomed updated. However, we also hope Sony will address the issue regarding Blu-ray movies not playing correctly at all resolutions.

Good news, I hope theres a whole stack of other improvements to come in the March update... there must be something juicy in there if Kawanishi-san is threatening death to leakers!!!
