This seriously just floors me... I'm in tears of laughter.

They're updating the already brand new and most powerful game console on the market? LOL. Think of all the poor

s that paid $5,000 for a PS3 on eBay. By the time these new ones come out they'll probably be able to keep them on the shelves too, none of this eBay pricejacking crap.

Sony, you fail, end of story, period.
 
SCE do this with revisions of their units.

Even from the simplest, AV & Audio connection removal on a Playstation (was called psx not ps1 at the time) There were riots over connectivity and about games on the new units not working.

hmm, I don`t know if it`s a good or bad thing for them to keep revising, I mean all board/system manufs do it. And to be perfectly honest with u, the official part of the links` article was full of buzz words as if they`re trying to sell an idea. Worries me when people in offices have to do that about a product.

QFT.

It still makes me laugh though, the huge rush for PS3s and the price jacking on ebay but now they are collecting dust in stores all over the place and people trying to sell them on ebay are getting like $50 for them :p

That's because Xbox360 and Wii will dominate the world one console gamer at a time, MUAHAHAHAHA! :)
 
original xbox had 6 revisions, i'm pretty sure all consoles do. But this is a major revision. Makes you think if the PS3 was is even ready to be released!
 
Add to that the early ones, including ones out atm I believe, are meant to be thwart with compatability probs with ps2 stuff, which was a claim made they could handle. (being worked on apparently)
 
in usual sony fashion they are already making changes the the sob

tbh i wouldnt of thought they would do it this soon though lol

i feel sorry for all who paid like $500 for a ps3 and is gonna find out its already been replaced with a revised model ahahaha

and i agree with frag,360 and wii are just gonna dominate

especially the 360 because of the games coming out this year and its already strong foothold in homes.

cheers.
 
tbh i think the playstation has had its time. bumping up the power is just not enough, and current console sales are testament to that. sony should either cut their losses and focus on audio and home electronics or start afresh and make a console that actually has SOME innovation behind it, not just slapping together the most expensive components they can get their hands on

funny enough i was thinking that they have dragged playstation on for a bit too long now as well,when do you think we will see ps5? :rollingla
 
The PS2 went through a number of revisions before they created one that had 99% stability, same sort of thing happened with the 360. Nothing new tbh.

As was said in another thread on here, it's just as well GB gets the PS3 in march (or whatever) as it might actually do what it's meant to by then ;).

Edit - The article doesn't say that this cell is for the PS3, before we all go Sony bashing :p.
 
Well I was going to get one - last year...they took just too long to release which gave M$ and even nintendo now - too much of a foothold. Doubt il get a console though - pc does everything better and more!

Be interesting to see what happens ;)
 
Will people stop saying M$. Goddamn that really annoys me. Microsoft are just like every company who want to make a profit - and putting M$ just looks immature :rolleyes:

i take it you havent played a 360?,the graphics surpass pc imo

and yea it doesnt do much apart from play games but thats what its bought and made for.

you can stream music,video and pictures from your pc and mp3 players,digital cameras etc which is pretty neat.

Raging.

What`s really wrong Kemp ? M$ has been around longer than I can care to remember, and it wasn`t born out of spite, but a realization. Along with Windo$e and pretty much anything else they do with an "s" in it. The debate of m$`s moralities has been done.
 
Sorry, just got into a habit i spose. I've played a 360 and the graphics didnt look too special. It is good, i'll admit but I like the ease of a pc when it comes to updates in games, communication and I generally prefer the games more.
 
I`ve seen console games look alot better than pc versions and vice versa.

Generally, I`d expect the 360 to be better, it`d be down to the design and possibly if one is a port of the other.

I would not expect a pc installed GoW, on my pc, or an average pc, to look anywhere neeeeear as on a 360, I think a really good oc would struggle. An exceptional one might.
 
you have to remember that the os of games consoles are programmed to be for games consoles unlike windows, which is multi-purpose and has loads of things happening in the background etc.
