Sony's Conference
 

Details so far:


The first details about the PS3 have come out. Sony announced the system will be backwards compatible with the PS2 and PSOne, squelching the rumors that reported the contrary. The system will also (not surprisingly) use Sony's proprietary disc format called Blu-Ray.

NVidia is working with Sony on the "RSX Reality Synthesizer" for the PS3. It will be able to produce "movie quality" graphics at 60 FPS.


I'll edit it with more info as it becomes available. Feel free to add.

The Ps3 specs according to GameSpot

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Is this conference going on right now - if so is there a direct feed anywhere?

Re: Sony's Conference
 

it shoulda started at 6. no feeds from what i can find thus far.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

So Bluray confirmed? This guarantees that it's a 2006 alongside Revolution, right.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

interesting.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

What do the numbers on the left axis represent?

Re: Sony's Conference
 

hard to read. but gigaflops i would presume. thats usually how a chart goes. hehe

Re: Sony's Conference
 

And the main event.. the console...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Sony loves the Spider-man font.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Wow, I don't know how to react to that.

First thoughts are: lose the curve and spiderman font.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

lol. thats what i was thinkin. (spiderman font)

and wheres the ports hiding? flip lid on the front somewhere?


also, curve is fine, that actually gives it charcter, interesting tho how MS has the inward curve and Sony has an outward. I wonder if they'll fit into each other. lol


font will probably be changed tho i'd assume.

Is that the power cable port on the bottom? It's a lot smaller than I previously thought then.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Yeah, the font needs to go. Other than that, I think it's the 2nd best design Sony's ever had on a first attempt (this isn't as sexy as PSP).

Re: Sony's Conference

Re: Sony's Conference
 

the black version is sexxxxxxxxy


*edit*

Crash, take your 6 year old child-like antics somewhere else, please

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Was that really Crash, or is whatever he has contagious?

I think the design is nice... I dunno, even though it's E3 I wasn't really anticipating how the consoles would look...

It looks a lot like a curvey PS2... Same general rectangle shape, disc drive on the right...

But yeah, the font could be better...

Surprises are fun! Now for revolution...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

When I first saw it I declared it as fake...why would Sony possible use the Spider-man font...oh how wrong I was.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

i thought it looked a lot like a sleeked up ps2 also. which isnt bad. it looks like they got a nice size to it.


i kinda think they put that font in there as a place holder, not really sure what type of logo to use. i have a feeling they'll end up with it being a little more of the blue PS2 style ontop of the ps2. (just not in blue)

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Well I wasn't expecting that.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

FU#$ING Boomerang!!!!!1

Re: Sony's Conference
 

oh dan, i just had that post typed up with that pic ready to go too.

controller worries me a bit. i wasnt ready for the PS2 controller to change yet.

but then again i never liked the look of the GC controller and altho its button layout sucked, it ended up being comfortable, So hopfully that controller takes comfort over design.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

it looks a lot better horizontally...which is cool because that's how I've always had my PS2/PStwo

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Spider-man font. Check.
Batarang. Check.

PS3 is the ultimate superhero console.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana phone!

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Whoa, WHAT?

That thing looks really uncomfortable. And the design doesn't really complement the base system.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

lol

well, seems like a couple things might end up changing from now till release.

of course we could go nintendo, "we're just showing everyone this so they dont steal our real ideas!"

im fine with things changing, i'd rather be able to see stuff, let them have feedback and change, rather then hold it all in till the last minute.

im very worried about the controller.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

^ My hype for PS3 just went up tenfold!

Re: Sony's Conference
 

i'm sure you've found more then a couple uses for that banana. :p

Re: Sony's Conference
 

PS3 to give users superhero powers?

I'm just going to assume so...


*edit* lol Null

Re: Sony's Conference
 

holy mother of god...

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Xbox 360 is slowly being erased from my memory banks.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Warhawk eh? that was a fun game for the original playstation. forgot all about it. heh.

Re: Sony's Conference
 

I'm not too crazy about the cotroller design, but reading this stuff has gotten me excited. :]

Re: Sony's Conference
 

Now that's beautiful.
