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

Quote:
Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2 Ghz and feature 2.18 teraflops of performance. It will sport 256mb XDR main RAM at 3.2 Ghz, have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700mhz, a detachable 2.5 inch HDD slot, six usb 2.0 ports, Memory Stick Duo, a SD slot, a compact flash memory slot, Compact flash slot, 2 hdmi outputs, 1 av multi out, 1 SPDIF optical output, and 1-gigabit Ethernet built in port

The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, internet access, digital photo viewing, digital audio and video. Sony Computer Entertainment head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "Super computer for computer entertainment."

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

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.

Null 05-16-2005 07:48 PM
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).
