at the bottom of this article they refer to the press conference that was
held today in Tokyo.

Nice one !!

Think i won't bother at all with the 360 now. I've done without it so far, i guess i can last till the end of the year, and get a PS3... :thumbsup

I am excited to experience the Blue-ray Disc they put into it.

did you know that the technoligy used in the microprocessor is 50 times as fast as anything else ever used in consoles and pc's?

Yeah, I am eagerly waiting for PS3 too, maybe I will be luky and develop some games for it too...

Egomancer

It better be good and internet ready this time

More like 1-2 times as fast as the fastest PC's right now, at best. Remember the ps2 was hyped out of this world by Sony marketing experts, do you remember the "PS2 can't be shipped to IRAQ because it will be classed as a supercomputer" HYPE HYPE HYPE. Turned out to have a 400-500mhz processor bah.

PS3 will lose a lot of market to xbox 360 this year and will probably have a slow launch like the xbox 360 had in Christmas time cause they can't get enough ps3's built, good news is most games will come out on both machines.

Getting my xbox 360 in a week, but will get a ps3 next year when they are available finally too. Both machines will be great and its good to big companies are throwing so much cash at this market, lower prices and more and better games on the way.

Matt

It will be internet ready, the basic free subscription that comes with it, offers
free downloads, previews, upgrades and there will be extra subscriptions
available aswell according the article.

I dont trust anything sony says til I see it in action...They are hype machines and can't be trusted.

should be pretty good

November for the US or Japan because I could give a rats ass about Japan.

nice will have to preorder a few..

60 gig hd? Umm.. what's the point of that.

i bet a surplus of xbox360s comes out in october

I've never even played PS1!!!

that system is going to be tha bomb!!!!!

Awwwwww Yeaaaaah. Now that I'm making good money, I'll buy the jap one for the hell of it.

Ken Kutaragi, PlayStation Master and keeper of big news has announced at the PS meeting today that the PlayStation 3 will be launching in early November worldwide for the North American, Asian, and European territories.

"A completely simultaneous launch is physically impossible," Kutaragi said, "but we believe we'll be able ship to users throughout the world around this time."

Sony's production line is set to pump out one million units per month to meet demand, with a total of six million units to be produced in Fiscal Year 2006 (through March 2007) alone. Production numbers are higher for PS1 and PS2 in their initial years.

Everyone realizes that this is for the Japanese launch right?

How did the Xbox get an entire year on them? I don't play video games but I will get one of these. My PS2 is just collecting dust...

And the pricetag will be?

i have no idea why everyone went crazy about the xbox 360. didn't they learn from the original xbox? there both garbage machines with good graphics thats all. gameplay sucks, controllers suck, and 9 times out of 10 the good games come out on PS first.. that being said im looking forward to the new PS3. :D

The PS3 is going to SUCK! :)

fuckin christmas rush again, god damn it.

Time to preorder.

buy as many as you can afford in nov and ebay the fuck outta them =)

They will probably cost $1500 on ebay in November

I really hope that backfires on the people who do that.

Can't wait to get my hands on one :)

Sony RULEZ !!!

Tomud

I can't wait to see the specs on the nintendo revolution. As far as sony goes, they always talk a lot of shit.

anyone seen pics of it yet?

Fuckin' consoles..

FPS on a gamepad. LOL

Who's lookin forward to another Halo? Not me. Unless it's for PC.

Bring on Nintendo's Rev!

nice...looks like it will be out just in time for the christmas season...:xmas-smil

cant wait

HALO 3 will probably release in Nov hehe

ps3 with dominate the market

You realize that it's a POS? Only slightly better graphics than PS2 or current XBOX. Nitendo is so far behind the times it aint funny.

Sony is using their bullshit hype machine to good effect. Has anyone seen real in-game screen shots yet?

The ones I have seen show no improvement over current Xbox360 games. It's going to come out and it's not going to be any better as far as games go, plus they'll be playing catch up with Microsoft as far as online multiplayer goes.

Look at this crap...Untold Legends for the PS3.

Certainly doesn't look any more impressive than the 360 games out there.

I hope this is just a marketing trick and it will go out spring or summer at least. :)

Are you retarded? XBOX 360 and PS3 are similar machines. Just like XBOX and PS2. :error :error :error

PS3 will have more titles. As far as online you don't anything about that. Are you an insider to Sony? Funny thing is same people who bash MS love XBOX. :error :error :error

Production won't even begin until July.

Are you retarded? Of course they are similar machines. That was the point. Everyone seems to think Sony is going to come out and be 10 times as powerful as the 360 and be able to pull off the prerendered stuff they showed last E3, like the fake KillZone demo. The fact of the matter is the system is not going to be any more powerful. Just look at the screenshots I posted above.

As for online, my point was that MS has had 5 years to perfect their online system. Sony is going to be playing catch up, since reports seem to suggest they wil be moving towards a similar system with a persistent online identity between games and content downloads, etc., in other words, an exact copy of Xbox Live.

Why would Sony have any more games? Maybe in Japan where they release 30 different versions of MahJong every year.
