[The_One]

OMG it's horrendous. I hate it!! 'nuff Said.

Side note: Looks like I'm not alone in thinking that it's absolutely fugly!!! Kudos to whomever voted for the same choice as me 8).

[Lekko]

Is it just me, or does that "Playstation 3" font and spacing remind you of "Spiderman 2" :?:

[Brandon]

I noticed that too. If anything, I'll be getting the black one. I'm sorry you hate it The_One. *pats you on the back* ;)

[dantehman03]

sorry,don't want to rain on your parade.. but apparently not the ones.. because im the one that voted that it is FREAKEN UGLY.. i mean come on.. i was expecting something really different.. hate to say it, but i think xbox 360 might look a little better.. but i dont know.. i need to see more pictures..

but yeah, I DONT LIKE

[diOndOrAntt]

I like it, but i also liked the xbox 360 lol.

[lilkoy123]

It's ok for me...at least it's slim. It also says on the pic thAt the design are subject to change without notice... :?

[Brandon]

SO there's hope for some of you who hate it.

yes! thank god, didn't see that.

[Tenchi]

Folks, expect some movies, for I have brought my cam with me(Sony doesn't allow live streams so that path is eliminated...). Right now, I am posting from the show-floor. It's starting. :wink:

[Chris Metal]

And people seem to forget the design change the PSP went through. It looks nothing like it did when it was first unveiled at E3 like it does now.

[FerrianX]

And people seem to forget the design change the PSP went through. It looks nothing like it did when it was first unveiled at E3 like it does now.

If M$ can produce a decent looking "next-gen" system at launch I expect no less from Sony.

Although I'm pissed with it's visual design, I'm royally pleased with it's internal specs.... perhaps alittle disappointed with some numbers, but overall higher then a kite!

[Z]

keep in mind that this is a prototype. as with PSP's initial design, this may change as well since it is still a while till release.
having said that, no matter how you look at this design, HELL if it doesn't look hi-tech and soPHisticated!

I'm Lovin' it!

[Shahan14]

looks good...i like how both 360 and p3 look....great designs

[julps31]

I love it. What the hells wrong with it. It looks next-gen, its the right color, its sleek, unlike the PS2 wich I thought looked like a VCR when it came out. Perfectly appropriate for a next-gen console.

[stuffedsquirrel222]

I hated it at first, too. It grew on me though, and now I think it's damn good lookin'.

I'm with you. I guess I'm a little more excited than most, but I think it rocks. I'm sure the design will change by the time of its release, and no matter what the changes, I'll still like it all the same.

[karsfri]

I love this design it's so simple and sleek. But I would like to see it side by side with the ps2 for comparison

it might look good to others, but i think its pretty ugly... its funny how the PS3 and XBOX360 shapes are opposites..

xbox having the inhaled look.. and ps3 having the exhaled look. ha


i do like the fact when you put it on its side.. it looks like its levatating.

[n1n9tean]

I love the design and wouldnt mind at all if it didnt change. But I'd say its just about guaranteed to change in some way though (again, thinking of the PSP). The ONLY thing I think is out of place is the two little symbols (eject and power) along the flat "balcony" of the disc tray. They dont reall y fit there in my opinion. Maybe it's just the color of them (the blue and green) that makes it look odd. But they dont look that much out of place though and I would even be OK with it if they didnt change.

Altogether I LOVE IT!!

[Riaden The Pioneer]

Well its good I like it.

Its the oppisite of the concave looking X 360 being Convex.

They still could make some minnor improvements in my oppinion.

By making the back part a little straight then rounded down.

Incorporate metalic looks like polish metal, stainless steel or brushed steel, or quite possibly a gun metal look.

[Shahan14]

thats the attitude! the console looks superb, even better than 360 imo, BUT THE CONTROLLERS BLOW FOR PS3!!!! :shock:

[julps31]

I think its too simple to be fugly. Fugly? I don't see any thing wrong with it. I love it. It close to what I wanted it to look like. Sleek, slim, silver or gray...gives it that futuristic look thats appropriate for the next-gen consoles.

[Hrama]

Ah, finally it is seen in its full glory. To those of you that hate it, :wink: I think it looks gorgeous. Think about it, it comes in decent colors, (Black, grey and white, a nice brushed-aluminum-esque finish, not some cheap-looking matte, plastic shit) it looks sleek, not too garish, nice curves, not too boxy or outlandish. Think about this, with all of that power and multimedia performance, it needs to look small, sleek, and sexy so it actually looks like it has a place in our living rooms. Let's compare it to the Xbox 360. Come on now, honestly how many people want something that is white and green in their living rooms? Does it go with the decor? Can you imagine any HDTV, or any other decent AV equipment that people might have hanging around in their living rooms coming in any such color? Hell no! If you notice any high end video equipment either comes in silver, black,(Mostly in black) or wood veneer for speakers. And with that strange concave-lense-esque design, if I were to put it on top of my dad's 50 in Samsung DLP screen, the all-black definitive tech speakers, or the Marantz A/V reciever (Or anywhere near them) Most people would probably be staring at that garbage instead of what's playing on the television. And honestly, green lights? Good god, any sort of light on any decent television, or other decent A/V stuff has is blue, some sort of light luminosity, or just plane doesn't have one. The PS3 looks damn good, something I could actually sit in my living room, turn out the lights and let it sink into the background. It is touted as some sort of all-purpose multimedia device (Not just a game console, a DVD/CD/Blu Ray player) and will probably be used as such in a lot of people's living rooms/dens. I want that power to compliment the rest of the stuff in my living room, not divert everyone's eyes to it because it looks so wildly out of place. Remember, with these consoles now supporting HDTV, it would be nice for it to look good close to or on top of one. Looking unique is fine, but not when it detracts from the entire look of the living space. :wink:

(Remember, it is a concept pic, it could change a lot by launch time) 8)

[Z]

one of the things that I find striking and extremely attractive is it cleanlyness; the front has no buttons, slots, openings, or anything- just the disk place. plus it is about time they lost the disk try (or should I say the cup try?)

[Shahan14]

but why does it have the spiderman font?

[Brandon]

I agree with you completely. That's what caught my eye. Actually, the main thing was the black PS3. Love it. 8)

[dantehman03]

IS IT OFFICIAL THAT IT WONT HAVE A DISK TRAY?

[julps31]

IS IT OFFICIAL THAT IT WONT HAVE A DISK TRAY?Thats what it looks like!!! 8)

Dual Shock3! Dual Shock3! Dual Shock3!

quick, I'm running out of air!

[TidusX]

How do the controllers stink? Blue tooth is great technology to use.

[Brandon]

Dual Shock3! Dual Shock3! Dual Shock3!

quick, I'm running out of air!
I can't either. I need an oxygen tank. ;)

[imported_Brian]

ok, so the pics have been released.

how to go about picking this apart without sounding cynical?

personally i LOVED the ps2. though it was a bit breakable it was great.

the ps3 has some awsome features to it, but apon designing the case. i believe something went totally wrong. the text for the ps3 DOES look a bit like spiderman, actually i do think that it is a COMPLETE rip off.

suddenly the ugly design of the new xbox is looking a bit more apealing.
considering the nomal size of a cd in this world, the ps3 is not actually much larger than the ps2, in fact i think it might be exactly the same size.

i'm confused how controllers will work, and how exactly all these extra plugins on the back will tie into gameplay.

(there are a lot of them @_@ )

i think that the design of the ps3 reminds me too much like a coffee machine when it is stood up (especially in black) and too much like a scanner when layed flat.

the design is ofcouse not exactly pretty, not exactly something you'd have sitting out on your coffee table to show off to your friends. kind of like the ugly girlfriend you dont want your friends to see so you ignore her.

i do like where the power button is putt, the switch on the back and the button on the disk tray is very unique, and yet still very familar.

the name is pretty dull, but still tells you EXACTLY what it is, unlike the 360, ofcourse not the 360 sequil to the series.

THOUGH i do believe that the white one is very good looking and will be something that would look good alongside my dvdplayer and cable box.

still cant wait to see the controller though.

[dantehman03]

i really hope they don't put a disk tray in the final design, i hate them! :twisted: hahaha.. well, even though i said i hated the ps3 design.. i think i can get used to it... but i still do hope it can change for the better. and i hope the detachable hard drive makes sense with the design (like the xbox 360..)

[Lekko]

Well, the PS3 is supposed to be fully backwards compatible, right? so then where are the ports for memory cards and all? I think they may be hiding to the left of the drive slot in that pic. possibly it folds up?

[nemesis121]

That design is bad, and the controller like WTF are they thinking, I hope they redesign it, please sony redesign that controller.

[Nazereth]

I think it looks really good, but I need to see it in the flesh.
The controler, I think, is !@#$ing awesome.
I have the feeling that I am the only one who thinks so.
I honestly love the way the ds3 looks.

I will take both in black.

Oh and hello everyone its my first post, I am officialy not a lurker anymore.
It seems like this is the best of the ps3 forums.

[Z]

people are talking about the controller, can someone post a pic?! hurry!

[Shahan14]

i 100% agree about the controller, what was sony thinking!!! :?

THE SICKNESS :oops:

[frosty]

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614736p1.html

there is the controller.

LOL maybe it has gyroscopic sensors and you can use it as a steering wheel![/img]

[Nazereth]

Alright, somebody give me their critical analysis of the DS3(?) design.
Dont just say it looks like sheet.

I cant belive that no one else likes it!!!
I mean I seriously love it!!!
It looks perfectly balanced, proportioned and very comfortable.
Fluid and futuristic.


look at the controller in this pic, it looks !@#ing classy.
right beside that awesome black ps3.
ooooh yeah
(btw look at the reflection on the ps3, can anyone make out the trigger???)
http://img62.echo.cx/my.php?image=lkips3025ux.jpg

[The_One]

This is an actual size comparison. Size-wise, it's still on par with PS2, albeit a bit more convex on the outside. I still hate the design though, for some odd obscure reason :roll:.

Anyhow, without further delay:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v87/matrix_square/PS3_size.bmp

[klaymen]

it doesn't matter what it looks like, people will always hate it. try to think of something you would find amazing looking......it is pretty hard. there have been so many mock-ups and what not that people have just started saying that everything is ugly.

http://img62.echo.cx/my.php?image=lkips3025ux.jpgWell I actually like the design a lot. I didn't at first but I think it was only becuase it didn't look very user freindly. I was thinking it would be impossible to use during a game. But now that I look at it its a really futuristic, attractive, controller.

[dantehman03]

all i have to say about it is that... it looks really comfortable because how the handle is skinnier and longer.. but its ugly as hell.

[Tenchi]

Check out the Sony conference article - http://www.psinext.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6801

It truely was amazing, folks.

[Brandon]

Found a new gorgeous pic of the black finish PS3. ;)

http://xs29.xs.to/pics/05202/aak.jpg

[julps31]

Shall be now known as the legendary SOny conference. Lived fully to my expectations. I'm lovin it ...and this is day one!! Hey this might be the only PS3 info but you never know. It good to see that it was a memorable night Tenchi. I love Sony.

[The_One]

I really wonder if the controller is going to feel comfortable or not... :?

This isn't a memorable night, this is an unforgettable night. Sony has won the console war a year before we have embraced its console.

[The_One]

This isn't a memorable night, this is an unforgettable night. Sony has won the console war a year before we have embraced its console. Well, we wish, anyways ;). I really do think Sony will win though... I mean, the graphics, the games, and most likely a much better online service!!! PS3 will PWN!

[n1n9tean]

I really wonder if the controller is going to feel comfortable or not... :?

Did they take away two of the shoudler buttons!!!! :shock: (check the reflection on the black PS3)

Anyway, with the kind of technology being offered through eyetoy we may only be using the controller HALF of the time 8) Did you see it it was AMAZING!!!!! They used eyetoy to control that cup onscreen and scoop up cups of water, pour it.....man I was speechless!!!!!

[Brandon]

This image has been circulating around. Don't know if it's accurate or not:

http://xs29.xs.to/pics/05202/size3.jpg

And there's a LOT more functionality on the back of the PS3 than the Xbox 360. ;)

[The_One]

Question :!:
Why the heck would anyone want to compare USB ports? They're all the same for crying out loud... :roll:.

Yes, the PS3 does have more features, it's pretty much well known ;).

Afterall, name another console that lets you connect it to TWO HDTVs :lol:.

[WillHavePS3]

i must disagree with some of my fellow PS3 fanboys....i think that this is a beautiful piece of machinery. we now now for sure that the controllers are wireless. and the shape is very sleek and almost feminine like. very pretty. oh, and i must agree that im very glad that they got rid of the cd tray. i like the cd feeder. very nice. :D

[Brandon]

oh, and i must agree that im very glad that they got rid of the cd tray. i like the cd feeder. very nice. :D
Yes...no more scratching discs and strange grinding noises when putting in a disc. ;)

yea I was praying there would be a self-loading CD slot.

Also, according to that picture....the Xbox 360 must be HUGE!!!!! :shock:

[Z]

Question :!:
Why the heck would anyone want to compare USB ports? They're all the same for crying out loud... :roll:.



that is the point. if we want to compare the sizes of two systems, we scale them down to the siliar components they have, i.e. USP ports, dist slot/tray, etc.

now, there is a pic of Kuturagi holding PS3 in his hands like if it was his little baby (and rightfully it is) and I don't think there is that much difference between both X2 and PS2.

[Brandon]

Yes, I saw the pic with Kutaragi. Either the PS3 is a little big, or Kutaragi is very small:

http://xs29.xs.to/pics/05202/kutaragi.jpg

[The_One]

Ken Kutaragi is actually pretty short. Not exactly small... but short.

[diOndOrAntt]

Im gona buy the black PlayStation3 8). Damn awesome!!

[Z]

actually, now that you look at that pic again, you notice by the size of his hands that PS3 isn't really big. in fact it looks rather smaller than X2. especially if you consider that Japanese hands are small.

on another note, you got to give it to Kuturagi-san for being one of the most visionary minds in the industry.

arigatoguzaimas kuturagi-san!

I'M NOT SURE AT ALL... but i think there are trigger buttons.

[Brandon]

I believe there are shoulder buttons on top. They are transparent.

[lilkoy123]

Well...we guys "welcome Chang3", so Sony gave us change.

[senas8]

I am watching E3 from gamestop...just seen a dude hold the controller...trust me...it looks killer...it is very small.

[n1n9tean]

I believe there are shoulder buttons on top. They are transparent.

yea but I only see 2. Not 4 like there should be.

EDIT: I think I can see the other two in that reflection. Man that thing looks like a double-ended dildo. (WARNING: Keep out of reach of girlfriend.....and her girl-friends...on second thought let em' play with it for awhile.) :lol:

[Lumine]

Anyone find it amusing that they curved the top of the PS3? Maybe old Penny Arcade hit a little two close to home?
http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2004-04-12


I believe there are shoulder buttons on top. They are transparent.
yea but I only see 2. Not 4 like there should be.

As I recall there are only 2 shoulder buttons now, they have moved two of them down as triggers.

[n1n9tean]

Yea, I do remember reading about them doing that. :idea:

[The_One]

WTF?! Just when Microsoft adds two new shoulder button, Sony removes two! What the hell is wrong with them?! I am NOT impressed with what they are doing to the physical PS3 and the controller! :evil:

[dantehman03]

WTF?! Just when Microsoft adds two new shoulder button, Sony removes two! What the hell is wrong with them?! I am NOT impressed with what they are doing to the physical PS3 and the controller! :evil:

yeah i agree.. but i do believe the R2 and L2 buttons are trigger buttons now.. and i hate trigger buttons they make my fingers cramp up.

[Brad]

Personally, I don't really care if it was a small garbage box...as long as it can give me the goods, I'm all for it.

[Brandon]

Now that I've watched the presentation, the PS3 looks quite small. I was impressed a lot by everything else it can do besides gaming. They want to go full throttle with its online capabilites.

[The Asset]

All four buttons are there. they arent triggers.

[Z]

WTF?! Just when Microsoft adds two new shoulder button, Sony removes two! What the hell is wrong with them?! I am NOT impressed with what they are doing to the physical PS3 and the controller! :evil:
what's the matter with you The_One? you're not your self today...

[JetBlackRX89]

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614783p1.html

Compared to the 360, it's a lot bigger.

It's over a foot in width. Thats definately massive compared to PS2. This thing is gonna take up a lot of space under my T.V. It's almost like a computer tower.

I rather have a big console with amazing graphics than a small console with squeezed-in graphics that costs more. The bigger surface area also allows for more room for all those connections.

anyway i like this design and i am glad they changed the controller...i was getting tired with the same dual shock ,over and over...overall this design spread future from every pore...and does someone know if ps3 will get a built in eye toy thing... i heard something...

I watched both conferences, and oddly enough, the ps3 looks smaller than the xbox no matter how many times i look back. I'm beginning to think the measurements are off or something, I dunno, it does look smaller.

[Chris Metal]

When I watched the conference it didn't look big to me at all.

[diOndOrAntt]

http://e3.playstation.com/scea/i/h_003_ss_08.jpg

[macster]

but why does it have the spiderman font?

For one, the font is called Mata or so. Its available for everyone out there. Any logo etc... Second, Sony owns copywrite of Spiderman movie. They released it. May be since its a 3d rendering they wanted to be different. I think that the thin PS2/3 Typeface looks better.

[KlawHammer]

Well i suppose im the only one that thinks the Xbox360 doesnt look good at all compared to the PS3...i think it looks gorgeous.

[Leedogg]

I think the design is ok, but what Im impressed is the graphics. It looks awesome. But i do have a question. It looks like their are three ethernet ports in the back? Anyways Im excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slider]

Not to sound too much like anyone's mum but that indent by the disc slot is a dust trap (esp given the amount I dust).

I dont know if anyone's said this already but let's face it - it'd have to look a LOT worse to stop you buying it :D

[koldfuzion]

Well, Slider, the black one is going to collect dust like an Ionic Breeze. I still love it though, the black is badass. Sign me up. But I better get my rags ready, but should be worth a little TLC.

Otherwise, Im not sweating the controller much--it looks good enough and I'm reasonably sure the controllers will be backward compatible anyway. Not to mention there will be plenty of third party controller makers making cheap and expensive variant designs if you don't like the main one.

I watched the tech demos from the press conference this morning and they blew me away. :shock: :shock: Can't wait until 2006... :lol:

[indiekid4]

*gasping for air* When I saw the new PS3 i lost my breath! It is stunning to say the least! It is beautiful to the eye. This is more then what I envisioned for the PS3. I love it! The glossy look of the black one is amazing. IT doesn't look cheaply made and looks very sophisticated! I could care less if they change the design a little for the final version....this is what PS3 should be and SONY got it right! XBOX360 looks like crap compared to this design!

[indiekid4]

WTF?! Just when Microsoft adds two new shoulder button, Sony removes two! What the hell is wrong with them?! I am NOT impressed with what they are doing to the physical PS3 and the controller! :evil:

WAH WAH WAHHHHHHH...lol You are too afraid of change.....change isn't always a bad thing. YOu haven't eeven held the controller in your hand yet. I bet that once you do, you will stop the whining. Yes the controller looks different and yes they may have changed a few things here and there, but I am sure you will get the same game play feel as you get when you play with your PS2 and PSOne...possible an ever better gaming experience. Just relax dude...change in this case...is a good thing.

[KKS]

I welcome the long 'legs' or whatever you call it (you know the part that lets you have better grip on the controller) cuz i found those to be bit short on ps2 dual shocks. Also notice the angled d-pad and the face buttons which means even if the controller looks like a boomerang, it doesn't mean it won't be comfortable.

I'm 100% sure PS3 will have 4 trigger buttons cuz I can't imagine playing MGS4 with only 2. With the rising complexity in games more buttons and required and I'm sure people over at Sony aren't so stupid to not realize that.

Also notice that button above start and select? Do you guys think that's like the X360's internet button?

[Coded-Dude]

Will it have an emergency eject switch like other trayless DISC devices.
(A tiny little hole you can stick a paper clip in to to hit a button that ejects any stcuk meida)

OMG u guys realise MGS is IMPOSSIBLE, without 4 shoulder/trigger buttons, Seriously all the pics of contrller (i knwo therres onlya few) show only 2 trigger/shoulder buttons. Remember what Kojima said bout a MGS game on PSP, that its impossble for a proper MGS game like MGS2 on PSP, due to the desing of the machine, i,e only 2 shoulder buttons.

Most other games would suck aswell i believe without 4 shoulder/trigger, BTW the analog sticks dont look comfortable, althouhg u cant beat what u havent tried...

[punkerz123]

I'm kind of dissapointed. it looks OK. Sony usually makes me go :shock: :shock: :shock: when it comes to design (cough*PSP*cough) but the ps3 is eh..

but this is only a prototype though right? change is still a possibility?

[.®]

um..
how do you guys know for certain it only has two triggers? i mean has anyone seen a pic of the actually top of the controller?

[UrBus]

the compairson shot on page 2 is showing the size of the ps3 to the 360


WOW

is it alot smaller than microsoft product again?? the usb and power cable plugs are identical in size and shape. sonys product has waaaay more functionality.... eyetoy, keyboard, mouse, psp, all the plugs are there FOR US!!!

whats with the xboxes being giant anchors?? that thing is huge if thats any representation of their sizes

[.®]

I'm more concerned with things like how the hell do i get my game saves off of my ps2 memory cards to play on my ps3? i mean it's not like i intend on starting gt4 from scratch. I mean thats the only ps2 game i intend to play on it anyway.

And like why 7? 7 is the oddest number. i'm over here thinking 3 pheripherals and 4 controllers or... what would you really use 7 controllers to play? And with 2 digital video outputs. does that mean i can surf the net on one screen independently from gameplay?

And can someone please give me a use for to LAN outputs please.

plug your PSP into your PS2, copy the game save to your PSP memory stick:
after this, you could either wirelessly transfer the data; plug the memory stick directly in; or even plug in the PSP to the PS3 USB port.
but does the PS2 have a memory card slot(or was that just memory stick?)

in other words....don't worry :wink:

[.®]

ok the ps2 to psp to ps3 method seems to make sense.

however i don't own a psp, and to have to buy one to copy saves doesn't make any sense. thats just plain wrong.

and the 2 LAN outputs they still have me puzzled

[5ysT3m cR45h3r]

I think it's pretty cool looking. And even for the people who don't like how it looks, the games are astonishingly brilliant looking. PS3's graphics as of now have already stepped on Xbox 360's and will most likely do so to the Revolution.

Metal Gear was done [on Xbox] with two shoulder buttons and it turned out okay. Controls cannot diminish a game such as this of its fun factor.

[Media]

I will be getting a white one.

At first, I thought that this design was ugly, but that was because i was expecting something else, something more
along the lines of a design i made a while back. But after a while, and seeing that the console is glossy(at least on the white and black versions), I really find it to be quite sleek and sexy.

These are my favorite pictures:

http://www.boomspeed.com/teenychan/ps3.bmp

Oh, and anyway, the graphics on this mothafu*ka' are amazing, and they definately "pwn" X360 by a mile.[/img]

[julps31]

I love the look of the console. I don't know what everybody else was expecting but it is what I wanted. I like the font and the smooth look of the console. I really just don't know whats "ugly" about it. And now the controller grew on me. It is weird but to me is very attractive as long as it is possible to use with out feeling akward i'll be fine. At first I wouldv'e compared it to a cheesy controller like the side winder but its way prettier than a controller like that. And I wouldn't get so worked up about the shoulder buttons until we have official word that theres only two.

Ok ive looked at several pics, and yes its 4 shoulder buttons (relief) but regarding the xbox conversion, the xbox has got the Black and white buttons, which were used. If the ps3 contrller only had 2 shoulder, it would only have 6 presseable buttons, compared to xbox eight (not including start and selcect buttons) And the hidden buttons of L3 and R3 are also used in MGS 2 and 3. In short, with only 2 shoulder buttons and 4 face buttons, MGS2 and 3 would not have worked(unless u wanna use start and select, or limit the actions u can do in the game, or go to start/ menu like screen for action selection like Spliner cell, which sucks balls)

[N.C.]

Since when does looks matter? I'm a old school player and to me nothing compares to NES, Super Nintendo and Sega. Back then those systems had FUN games. Nowadays they focus on graphics and not the game itself they just after money. Its to soon for a ps3 IMO I think they can still do something with ps2. Young kids today determine a game by graphics and if it has online play. Back then it was about the fun you had and the games were more thought out. They makin these games u can beat in hrs and the endings or the worst parts. Look how good the gta series has been have you seen the endings to these games? Short and boring, they dont care about what we think, they just want your money because kids today will buy just about everything. They wow you with graphics and what the game can do but when u play, it lacks substance and replay value. I am not impressed at all.

[OzzysCross101]

:shock: WTF?! How could people not like this? I think its a masterpeice. A perfect blend of form and function. And i also didnt expect this design either, but like its been said, it grows on you. Even the controller grew on me. I mean theyre not going to release another generation console without putting some serious thought into a new controller to match the sleek, shiny features of the PS3. The PS3 makes 3shitty look like- well..shit! Plus, Sony did an awesome job at keeping the design simple, and hiding the card readers and such under that left part on the front (Yes, that is what it is. During the unveiling at the press conference, there is a pic that just glances across the screen that shows the left panel opening. Don't blink and you'll see it.) But the overall design of PS3 is impeccable, nothing short of brilliant. And the three color options are so much more elegant & professional than the stupid ass custom faceplates on three$ixty. The reason for the custom faceplates are supposedly to make the console match your decor. But seriously foks, if white, silver, or blaack don't match your decor, then there is somehing seriously wrong with the picture. Anywhoo, the whole design is berrer than i thought it would be. Long Love PlaySatation 3!

[rev>thanu]

it's sleek and sexy while in vertical stance but horizontaly it looks hideous. Is too oval in shape. i like more rectangular shaped type consoles IMO. I think is too smooth and the black glossy one can easily get scratched (I think) unless is a hard non scratch material. i also thik the design is too plain. like is too flat and i don't like the disk feeder area. That's just me, i think like some people have said this is not the final design look at psp. It looked just as oval in shape and flat surfaced in it's concept form. then the new redesign model looks way to sexy for ps3 to handle. IMO if Sony is delivering the games, the service and power i think the outer shell should state something more. stare at me until your eyes burn out. that curvy shell makes it look bigger than what it really is.

the controller i love but like i said about the console it needs to be less curvy. the button layout is almost the same but it needs to show that is the sucessor to dualshock 2 by showing a bit more of it's predecessor. not exactly the same in design but still show signs that dualshock is the main influence.

[Mordecaii]

I skipped the last few posts, but I just wanted to clear something up... the PS3 does have 2 memory card ports. The front of the PS3 has a little door bay that opens up and there are the memory card ports in there. So don't worry about not being able to plug in your memory cards from PS2. :)

Ya know that raises an interesting issue... it's great and all that the Ps3 is backwards compatible with Ps1/Ps2 games, but what about the saving features? Will I still need my Ps1 Memory card inorder to save my game played (if you remember Ps1 games could not be saved on a Ps2 memory card). I wonder if Sony has something in store for that using the Flash Memory sticks....

[Brandon]

The PS2 slot also works with PS1 memory cards. The slot is the same exact size. That's the way it is with the current PS2.

[rev>thanu]

the memory card readers are hidden by a cover at the front of the console next to the disk tray feeder. i believe that it only needs one memory card port which is compatible with ps2 and ps1 memory cards. also i hope you can transfer your data from ps1 and ps2 games into a higher capacity flash memory card which is also supported by the ps3.

hehe sorry I didn't really explain myself properly... I know that they are the same size / can be placed in the same slot... what I'm trying to get is along the lines of what rev-thanu posted.

Exactly what I'm thinking / hoping.... when you look at the bigger picture lets say in a year or two from now some person decides they want to buy FFVII for the original Ps1, but there are no more Memory Cards for it being produced... will Sony address that issue with Flash Memory or perhaps some sort of onboard feature utilizing the HDD or something else?

[n1n9tean]

ya know, I was just thinkin'...I want some lights on my PS3....SOME kind of lights (PS2 had the little blue and green lights). I was looking at that picture and noticed there isnt any. It would be twice as cool as it is if the disc tray shined light out of it like the REV does. 8)

[Brandon]

The black PS3 looks like it has blue lights on it...but it could be the reflection.

[JetBlackRX89]

You must have very beautiful garbage trucks in your area. Lucky.

Looking at my PS2, I realize how ugly it looks with that bulky black case and the ridge design built into the side. If anything, it looks more like a box than the PS3. At least the PS3 isn't completely flat and boxy, and has some curves and panels and stuff.

I know this will be the final design. Gut instinct they will keep the PS3 design and dump the controller design for another. Probably the original design.

[FLCL]

i think the black ps3 standing vertically is the most beautiful thing ever....those beautiful beautiful undisturbed curves and that awesome reflective surface! ah! honeslty just like the x360 you cant appreciate the desgin untill you see the actual photos

designers spend years to finally decides a design, so we have to understand what school they'r aiming for, i think it they want it to looks like how everyone envisioned the future during the 50s-70s

this explains the font selection and controller BUT i think its plain wrong the PS shouldnt have a logo associated with another product!!!! look at the PS2 and PS1 those were so unique it had the look-at-me-im-new-and-different feel, equally the controller is a bit too much

here's hoping its tweaked before release

they cant look at the current controller after seeing PS3, its just too crude they need something smoother to fit within the new look&feel

[Fats]

Looking at the three colours available it's hard to make a choice as to what one I want. It'd be between the White and the Black. They're just fantastic looking.

[Maya 5.0]

Ok from just the pics to me it looks like the PS3 is bigger than the 360 and the fact that IGN has those dimention numbers have me believe that PS3 will be the bigger console.I say this because if you see the new PS3 controller,it looks small compared to the overall console height and the width is too big also.

Some redesigns are in order here guys.The PS3 must get as small as possible or it will be called "a small car" just like the Xbox was.

The controller just seems to weird to me,like if it is some weird third party controller that you know no one would buy.Good news is that if they can cut an inch or so off those banana handles it would look impressive IMO.

Sorry to get a little off topic but now this is something i have been wondering for a long time and hopefully by TGS is the headset for online play.Now that we have bluetooth as contollers then could that also be used as a wireless headset because that would complete the package.

[JetBlackRX89]

If you stream the conference off of gamespot and skip to the end when they take it out and show it for the 1st time, its pretty big. Watch the MTV unveiling of the 360 and its smaller.

Whatever dimensions they posted are correct. I even used a ruler to draw out how big it is. Its pretty big, but not extremely clunky big. It's not something you wanna carry to a freinds house unless its the only thing in your backpack.

[Z]

for now, PS3 and X2 look more similar in size. the only difference maybe X2 is inhaled and PS3 is exhaled. we will now soon. but anyway, if the difference isn't that big, there is no point discussing it.


It's not something you wanna carry to a freinds house unless its the only thing in your backpack.
with graphics like Tekken, Killzone, and motorstorm, I'll happily carry that monster to my grave!

[.®]

what is the real problem with the controllers? am i the only person who can not see a problem with it? If they had taken away some of the buttons or changed the layout these gripes would be justified. But in the end IT'S THE SAME controller just with longer handles and no cord.

And the system, i for one believe that a beast deserves some bulk. have any of you ever seen tiny monster? the box as big as it may or may not be, means very little at the end of the day.

and again i ask can someone please tell me what i woould use two LAN outputs for

[Z]

I LOVE the controller and I love that Sony doesn't fall in the trap of mimicking themselves. they are alwasy one step a head of the compition. while everybody is trying to make a DS2 mock-up, Sony does something that looks distingushly different. like when they totally changes the design of Playstation, PSOne, PS2, PSTwo and now PS3.

I love the fact that both PS3 and DS3(name tentaive) stand out from the rest while the controller still is indeed a DS in its core.


can someone please tell me what i woould use two LAN outputs for

direct system link play? maybe it is inplace of the PS2 onld i-link? ehternet connections certainly have wider usages than i-link

[OneTruePlaya]

I personally think anyone who believes this is ugly is crazy but like all true great pieces of art it is subject to personal preference. This is the greatest thing to ever come out of the gaming world. Sony will defintely tighten its already controlling grip on the world's gaming and electronics markets. This is no push over from many sources if you guys didnt know sony put 3-4 Billion dollars into this project and hundreds of millions just in the chips used to run this thing. Rejoice for the heaven of gaming has begun.

I think most people are turned off by the contrller at first because it looks like it'll be hard to use and hold. But I would imagine considering that people say its smaller than it looks it could be very comfortable. So I really like the space age look of the controller. Looks like more people are starting to like the PS3 design. And to anybody who thought the font looked like Spiderman font check this out...

http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/615/615465p1.html

[Ibanez32]

Well on that note i'd like to point out the similarity between the spider man font and the font used for the word xbox on the disc drive on the old xbox.

[DofD]

Hi folks. New to posting on the forums but not new to reading them.

The PS3 is a very attractive piece of home entertainment hardware IMO. From all that I've heard and read, Sony hasn't designed a new game console but rather an entertainment console and thus should fit in with the polished look of other home entertainment centre hardware.

As for the new controller, it looks nice, kinda funky. But how well it works really depends on the size and shape of a person's hands, and that can only be determined by actually holding and using the thing. To me it looks like it will be more comfortable than the DS2, but then pictures an be misleading.


Cheers,

I agree. I won't pass judgement until I'm actually holding the controller in my hands. But then again, this may not be the final design, same goes for the console. We'll have to see what comes of both designs in the next year.

Here are a few new pics. The PS3 looks really nice in these:

[KiLLA2006]

well, I absolutely love the PS3 design, not so much the font that is used but the main console is awesome, and as for the controller, i like it because it's different, ill be honest when i first saw it i was like, yuck... but now that i look at it, great job Sony...

[Fahad145]

i love it. Its something about TITANIUM material that always makes a electronic look good. EVEN in cars, Silver is the clear winner. The reflection of the black looks awesome as well. The ps3 is a entertainment console, so you wanna make it look like a vcr, dvd, its ur very personal entertainment SET in ur Living room. think about it. Its style and size FITS the consumer's entertainment set. VERY modern. And its cool to have Spider man logo, its something NEW. nothing wrong with it.

my only complaint may be the controller. i love the design, but it seems that my thumbs might no have good accuracy with the thumbstick. they need to make it a bit closer to each other and the handle should be a bit closer to the analog sticks.

[JetBlackRX89]

Only one design complaint that I just thought of.

The disc loading slot. If anything gets jammed, you're screwed. You can't get it out. I had to pry my PS2 loading tray a few times when its motors got jammed.

[N.C.]

Don't be such a pessimist N.C., you even put my pessism to shame :lol:! I agree, looks doesn't matter, but the PS3 simply looks horrible. It looks like a garbage truck, IMO.

LOL! Well I speak my mind I don't care what it looks like as long as it has good games, and the grahpics has stepped up. So far the ps3 is lookin very promising, just hope they put out solid good games. People who have played Nintendo, Super Nintendo and Sega know what I am talkin about. LMAO @ looks like a garbage truck, I must admit when I first saw the pic I said to myself what hell is that LOL!

[O.D.S]

ok guys, this isnt 'official' but it is funny, check it out:

now that would be the ultimate entertainment package, awesome games and a BBQ while you wait. Maybe it even come with a fork built in :lol:

[Maya 5.0]

For along time i wanted the PS3 to be a titanium color also but after seeing that black PS3 i have to say that i might get that one instead.

The controller joysticks farther apart is a better idea for FPS since the DS2 felt too close.

The thing's people register a domain name for. Seriously...

The PS3 has such a clean-looking, versatile look that it could be mistaken for a lot of things. I still think it looks damn sexy though.

I want the white one for some reason. I really liked the dark black low-profile look of the PS3, but I might opt for a change of scenary.

Please SCE don't change the concept controller. At don't least to a worse direction! It's dead sexy!

[Alucard]

I think the reason that there are 3 lan outputs is that you can use the
PS3 as a router

[JetBlackRX89]

So when you plug the PS3 into your modem, you're computer can still get the net?

Wouldn't that lag the computer and PS3? I have a cable modem running off of a surfboard modem.

I also have a belkin wireless router that I never use. It transmits a signal for internet to any computer that has the belkin USB reciever (it's like an antennae.) Does this count as wi-fi that the PS3 can detect and conntect to?

[The_One]

I think the reason that there are 3 lan outputs is that you can use the
PS3 as a router No, it cannot act as a router, but rather a hub. There's a big difference between the two.

[Garfunkel]

well i thing the ps3grill would make it even easier for sony to win the console war but overheating MAY be an issue.

I love the design of the ps3, very sexy and the controller has started to grow on me where as before i didn't like it

[PimpTolson]

Yea, if it's going to have that glossy texture, I'm definetly getting the Black or white one. It looks wayyy too hott!

it might look good to others, but i think its pretty ugly... its funny how the PS3 and XBOX360 shapes are opposites..

xbox having the inhaled look.. and ps3 having the exhaled look. ha


[/quote] i guess you could say the Xbox looks like its sucking while the PS3 is blowing it away :lol:

[\\']-[()619]

It looks good,But i don't care how it looks

[Z]

Sony said they didn't want something industrial looking. the wanted something organic. that is why PS3 looks the way it does. the future designs don't have edges. edgy designs is so "past century". now everything wants to look sleek and edgy-less. X2 also has this.
like it or not, this is the future direction of design.

I'm Lovin' it!

[Walu]

Where do you put the memory stick??

[Delta]

Does anyone have any pics of the original PS2 prototype?

I personally like the PS3 but I don't think it's very small. It looks a bit big from the pics. I would prefer a system like the PS2 Slim or even what Nintendo is going for on the Rev. Small, Slim, Sleek, and Powerful!

That's not asking too much I think.....

Again, any pics?

Welcome to the forums Delta! Well, I myself don't have the PS2 prototype pics, but hopefully someone will.

I wouldn't worry too much about this PS3 (not saying it's ugly, because it's not) being the final design. I expect a fairly tweaked design as final hardware, perhaps slightly smaller as well.

Still, I wouldn't expect anything along the slimline PSTwo. That form-factor is only possible due to mature technologies on advanced production processes. It's just a fact that most things new will have to start out relatively large compared to how they will end their life.

[Delta]

Thank you~

xbdestroy, I see what your saying. When you think about the size of hardware in the past, that seems to have been the progression.

Nintendo shrunk it's hardware unites down in size. PS shrunk it's first and second systems as well as Sega doing so on the Genesis systems.

Too bad XBOX didn't follow suit. I like the XBOX design but it's too large. If they could shrink it, It would have been much better.

As for the inside of the box, I'm not worried at all by any of the top 3 players. They will all give excellent next gen consoles with great game play. For me, HDTV matters as well as the outside specs of the systems.

[xbdestroya]

Too bad XBOX didn't follow suit. I like the XBOX design but it's too large. If they could shrink it, It would have been much better.

Well, they couldn't do it, mainly for the costs that would be associated with them attempting a shrink. For them, it was just better to go ahead and put their resources towards 360 development. This is the same reason why they are killing the XBox as we speak - it's just not cost-efficient for them to keep it alive.

360 will be a different story, however. With MS more squarely in control of manufacturing and the IP, they should be able to come out with a smaller, mid-life update to the 360 in a couple of years time should they choose to do so.

But to bring it full circle, point is I don't think the PS3 prototype will equal the PS3 final in terms of looks, though they may share similarities. 8)

[JetBlackRX89]

....future designs don't have edges.

So there are already new PS3 designs being made to replace this one that don't look as boxy? Or are the curves of this current E3 design what you are referring to?

[n1n9tean]

he's just saying that's the direction everyone is heading in as far as system design. (exept Nintendo REV of course but I still like the little thing 8) )

HOW THE HELL IS A CONCAVE XBOX SILVER FOOTBALL GOING TO FIT!

round pegs wount fit in square holes... :cry:

but it still looks pritty

but in all serrioness folks who gives a crap? after you buy how many times do you realy look at it? what it puts up you screen is what realy matters. :)

[Pina]

Since everything will be wireless, you can always put the console hidden somewhere, in a drawer or tucked away behind something. It just has to be acessible to change the disc now and then.

[JetBlackRX89]

Not totally wireless. There's still going to have to be wires going to the back of the TV. If you can wire the cables behind something, then the PS3 would be hidden. If your TV stand has drawers, its a good idea.

[cpiasminc]

Also, 360 appears to be IR, not radio wireless, so you need some line-of-sight to the port. Didn't really notice on PS3's part. You really can't hide the console from view.

[Coded-Dude]

"The Xbox 360 Wireless Controller connects via a 2.4GHz connection and features "frequency-hopping spread spectrum" technology in order to keep interference from, err, interfering with the signal.
Four wireless controllers will be usable at once on the Xbox 360 at up to 30 feet away."
SOURCE (http://gear.ign.com/articles/613/613588p1.html)

I know the PS3 uses Blutooth, so line of sight is NOT necessary for anything.
(EXCEPT! the psp - it has an IR port that will function with the PS3, I think)

PSP/PS3 will connect through Wi-Fi. If both are close to each other, you can use a direct connection between them (ala ad-hoc) if not, you can use Wi-Fi access anywhere in the world! Try beating THAT!.

Now about the design, I don’t know about you, but I have never seen anything more beautiful than this:

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050519/1912/z051913ajpg

also, Sony has these tweaks that show there attention to details like for example the PS logo in PS2 turns so it will look right whether the conole is horizontal or verticle.
Sony Style baby 8)

[n1n9tean]

So this is where the HDD goes! :idea:

I remember someone saying it goes in the bottom but I was thinking of the bottom with the system laying horozontally. In this way it's the left side. I specified the location of the HDD slot here.>>

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y150/n1n9tean/PS3-HDD.jpg

yup. and you can clearly see the cove next to the disk slot. that opens to reveal the PS2 slots (for memory card, DS)

[n1n9tean]

OK Z!!!! Gosh man you keep telling me this and I've know about that little door and how it opens since maybe a couple of hours after the PS3 was unveiled. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Like I said before I just never notice any DS controller slot in ther along with the various memory card slots. :wink:

If you can find another picture please post it because I want to see the controller slot that I obviously missed the first time I saw the inside of the compartment.

Yeah i like it better vertically.

[Media]

One thing that makes me happy about this design is that it is shiny, in an iPod sort of way, which I wanted from Sony this time around.

[chaingangsoldier69]

i have a question, is the ps3 going to have memory cards cuz i didnt see any memory card slots! or will it be like xbox and have no memory card and have a memory card built in?????

[Z]

meory cards, memory stick, memory stick duo, SD along with USB based.

simply, PS3's got it all! :wink:

[Ibanez32]

It kinda looks like a protable laminator. The best damn laminator money can buy. Are you sure it actually has a DS port cause looking at the diagrams from the e3 conference it looked like it supported them through usb suggesting you'd have to get some sort of adapter.

[jaxmkii]

meory cards, memory stick, memory stick duo, SD along with USB based.

[Z]

yes it supports playstation memory cards and dual shock controllers. next to the disk slot there is a hood that opens. in there you will find the B/C ports (backward compatible).

Maybe it's me, but the PS3 doesn't look too organic. (Well, IMO, it looks a lot more industrial looking than the 360)

I know what you mean. That's what I hate about the design, sometimes it looks great, other times it looks horrible. The controller...ughh, that's the worst looking thing I've ever seen. The console looks a lot bulky than I thought it would be, around Xbox level. I hope it's tweaked a lot.

(Is it just me, or did anybody expect the opposite? The 360 looks very sexy, it's what I thought Sony would create.)

[chaingangsoldier69]

is the ps3 going to have use memory cards??? or is it not going to have memory cards like the xbox :?:

cause i cant see any memory card ports


-edited by mod- do not double post, use the "edit" button.

[Media]

Arrgghh! It's been stated multiple times that there is a hood on the front of the PS3 that has a DS port, a Memory Card port, etc... for backwards compatibility.

[The_One]

(Is it just me, or did anybody expect the opposite? The 360 looks very sexy, it's what I thought Sony would create.) Yeah, it's just you. Both consoles are absolutely fugly, the revolution is the only "sexy" looking console this gen.

[Fats]

I think the Revolution is fantastic looking, nice to see that Nintendo opted for something a little sleeker. In fact, I believe that the Rev is the best looking console out of the three as well. But I personally think that the PS3 looks much, much better than the 360. It goes without saying. :wink:

[xbdestroya]

I think the PS3 will probably look a little different before it actually launches - hopefully a little thinner. I think with some small changes it could actually be made to look fairly attractive.

[Z]

just to note: for those who want to see the onld slots on PS3, you can see them shown at the ending of Sony's pre-E3 press conference. after they show the actual console, the gigantic screen start showing the pics we all seen. among those pics is a PS3 with an open hood. there are three slots; one for memory card, one for DS and I don't know what the 3rd is for.

[FerrianX]

I think the Revolution is fantastic looking, nice to see that Nintendo opted for something a little sleeker. In fact, I believe that the Rev is the best looking console out of the three as well.

Revolution is just amazing, and what we saw is still a large version of it... Nintendo plan to make is even smaller!

I hope ur right xbdestroya... while I am a huge Playstation supporter, fact remains I'm not 100% pleased with the asthetic look of the Ps3... too bulky for my liking.

[Domination]

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y188/deadlock101/Bay.jpg

The wider slot could be a memory card or a Dual Shock slot, but the rest are definitely neither since the Dual Shock plugin is just as wide as the memory card. I would suspect the other slots are for memory sticks, and maybe a card for a camera or somehing, i don't know.

[n1n9tean]

yea see I don't really think that is a slot for a Dual Shock. I saw it awhile ago and now I see it again and no wonder I didn't notice a DS slot because there isnt one from the looks of it (and by that I feel about 95% sure it's not). That is probably a slot for a memory card.

Z, have you seen any spec sheet that ells of a DS slot?? Because I havent. Thats what I'd need to see to be convinced because that sloot looks too wide and flat to be a DS slot. Plus it has some little wedges on each side for a special kind of fit appearantly..

Thanks for diggin that pic up by the way. Why is it so dam hard to find!!??? I had been looking for a few DAYS! :lol:

[Grandia]

I don't know, hopefully it will, but I hear it's practically the final design.

[LiquidEagle]

Man there better be a memory card slot...without one how are we going to play our old games? There's gotta at least be some way to transfer our mem. card saves to the PS3's HDD (hopefully it comes with one!), or something like that. I want to be able to use my old PS1/2 saves when I play my older games on PS3, so this is important.

[Overload]

they could just make a multi-tap that fits into the usb slot

[makeitlookreal]

I really like the console, but hate the controllers!

The console is nothing to really brag about, but it does look very nice. However, those controllers just look horrible. I mean, from the moment I saw them I was saying, "What in the world?"

My two ideas for the console are as follows:

1) We need a few cool features such as a LCD display to show temperature, time, status, etc. It would not need to be huge, but simply something extra to make the console look unique.

2) The controllers need to be something original and not just a bannana version of the duel shock. Perhaps something with a motion sensor would be interesting.

[n1n9tean]

1) We need a few cool features such as a LCD display to show temperature, time, status, etc. It would not need to be huge, but simply something extra to make the console look unique.

I've mentioned this before aswell. :wink:

But as far as mere looks go the least they should do is add some lights!! Like a light in the disc slot (so you can better see it at night) and lights for the eject and reset buttons. But maybe there are already some lights and we just don't know it.

[O.D.S]

on the topic of lights...

i allso believe lights have to be a must (the PS2 was awesome with the green and blue)

Now about the buttons...i havent noticed buttons to eject the cd or reset the console so im thinking it is done by touch? (is this right?)
if these "buttons" would allso be coloured lights that would look really nice (or if they would light up a different colour or brighter if you touched them, that would allso be cool)

[n1n9tean]

yea that would be cool...like my ZEN micro. 8)

In looking at that back panel of the black PS3 and the white PS3, I noticed that they were different. The black one doesn't appear to have the network or USB ports on the back panel. The black model also appears to be much slimmer in height. Maybe they were concept cases just used for display and the black one is an earlier concept case where the networking and USB ports on the back weren't included.


Cheers,

DofD

[diOndOrAntt]

Its there, but the front plate is over it

[DofD]

Umm... Why would the front plate that covers the MS, SD, and CF card slots be covering ports on the back panel?

On the black model you can see the HDMI ports, power socket, analog video port, and digital audio port, but no ethernet or USB ports.

[Z]

I don't care if "it looks like an old dumpster truck" as The_One elegantly put it, with Cell and those insane graphics, ME WANT! ME WANT!

personally, it looks grand; sophisticated and futuristic.

looks like all next-gen consoles's designes will be great this time. (X2 is looking less good everytime I see it. maybe it is because of the huge button and other holes and slots in te front) but still, 'anything' is better than the Box's design- and I do mean 'anything'!

[julps31]

I hope they'll be different controller colors to go with the systems. No mismatch please lol. I like all the different colors though. All nice and futursitic.

[Z]

it is possible that PS3 will come in a standard color for a while before other colors are made available. Think PS2 and PSP. But this is a whole new gen, who knows.

I am conflicted between the majestic white and metallic black….

[Viper]

I'm pretty positive they'll have to launch with one color and then slowly add in others as overall demand and supply allow. With Apple and Nintendos' success with bringing in new colors, it would be a bad move for Sony not to introduce new colors, especially after showing off more than one color at the Press Conference.

My prediction for debut order:
Silver (launch)
Black
White
Blue
Red

That seems to be the most realistic order to me aswell. And the only controller color they have shown is silver so that adds to things too. Come to think of it...I never even thought about how the controller would look in other colors...that controller in black would look very nice.

[imported_Tacitblue]

I wonder if the Japanese still like the skeleton look.......clear case PS3 watching the fans spin away on top of 550 million plus combined transistors of Cell and RSX.

[xbdestroya]

Well, we've got the dimensions of the thing finally (or so it seems):

http://techon.nikkeibp.co.jp/NE/rep/img/050617b.gif

Since the PS3 has more curvature I could see it actually taking up a fair deal less volume than the 360, even though some of it's absolute measurements end up greater.

[O.D.S]

thats a good find xbdestroya,

but im still sceptical because it is afterall still the prototype. :roll:

i do have one question though. if the PS3 will remain so much bigger than the PS2 in its final design wont the Asian market be swayed over to a more slim (just barely) 360?

afterall wasnt the PS2's slim design enforced by the asians all wanting compact shapes?

[Games Lord]

yea it cool
but the xobx is more hot :lol:


and hii to every one i am new here

[xbdestroya]

Well you're right that it's definitely a prototype - I would be surprised if that was the final form adopted, so could go up in size or down in size before actual launch. And of course, smaller is better. :)

Here's hoping they maintain some of the same 'futuristic' look though in whatever they do end up releasing.

@Games Lord: Welcome to the forum 8)

[xbdestroya]

Some calculations from the picture above.

If they were both straight 'blocks,', filling those dimensions, then the 360 would take up 6,616,926 cubic millimeters and the PS3 would take up 6,144,000 cubic millimeters. Due to the curvature in each system though, they will both be a good bit below those 'maximums.'

Here are the sizes in inches (rounded to nearest hundredth) -

360 (12.17" x 10.16" x 3.27")

PS3 (12.6" x 9.45" x 3.15")

[Grandia]

I thought that they said that this design was near final...? It's smaller than I thought it would be, so maybe it's one of the things that look a lot better in person than in photos..

[FLCL]

Phil Harrison interview from http://www.playstation-e3.com

SCEE's executive vice president of development takes time out of his hectic E3 meeting schedule to chat to PlayStation.com about the show-stealing new console.

How privileged did you feel to introduce those amazing PLAYSTATION 3 tech demos to the world?

Well, totally. I had the easiest job, because I just had to stand there and present other people's brilliant work, but I was particularly proud of Richard Lee and his team in London, who created some of the demonstrations. They were responsible for the explosion demonstration, and
