Looking good.

[yoshaw]

Christ, it's like an event down there. LOL

Reminds me of the excitement in our house when we bought our first big SDTV. Everyone in the family was gawking around the HUGE ASS box waiting for it to be opened. The reason being it was very expensive at that time and it took everyone's opinion and homework to decide on this one Sony Wega TV. This reminds me of that overwhelming day.

[Jasonps3]

Wait a minute, how many cables are there? There's one extra.

[Nameless]

The PS3 looks like a sexy beast... :heybaby:
I like the fact that everything is internal no power brick to deal with!

[Z]

I remember Lik-Sang being the very fisrt site to picture the inside parts of the PSP. I am eagerly awaiting to see PS3 pulled apart. not that I would understand anything, but damn I loves me some kick ass circuitry. :)

poor Lik-Sang...*snif, snif*

yeah, I see two broadbamd cables.

It's actually here - PSM3 takes ownership of its PS3

Ohmgod. It's here.

Just a short post to let you know that, at approx 12 noon, our PS3 arrived in the office. GET IN.

We unpacked it, boshed it on and haven't stopped playing yet. Lots more tomorrow, but here's our findings so far:

1) It's SUPERQUIET. Yes, we've said it before but we're still surprised. It makes less noise than a PS2 - just a thin, quiet whirr of a fan.
2) It gets warm - but not hot. The fan blows air out of the back and out of the top of the machine (when it's in its upright position). It's a bit weird. You certainly couldn't 'fry an egg' on the top of the machine while it's stood on end, but you could 'thaw a bagel'.
3) Loading discs is a quick, no fuss operation.
4) Screen modes up to 1080p are available - but the games we currently have don't offer 1080 modes.
5) It's see through. You can see all the innards through the smoked black plastic exterior
6) It creaks when you pick it up. The panels groan slightly with the weight of the innards
7) The power supply is built it - which accounts for what heat there is and makes it a single self contained unit (as opposed to 360's game of two halves).
The menus are very easy to understand. It's literally just like a PSP.
9) Games seem to leave a data folder behind on the HD disc (some kind of swap file?) We played Resistance, stopped, looked at the disc from the PS3 menu and found a 33Mb file on there (not in the save game directory). We played MotorStorm, looked again, and it had gone.
10) The pad isn't quite as classy as you think it will be. The console looks very special. The pad is a bit, well, ordinary. Dull plastic, and, because it's so light, it feels a bit unsubsantial. The new triggers are a bit rubbery too (though do have an 'L4' 'R4' 'click' at the end which we haven't noticed before.
11) We've got code for MotorStorm, Resistance and Genji so far. With more to follow.

That's about it for now.

LOTS more tomorrow.

Holymoly. It's here. You can sense the speed at which this box is being ripped apart can't you?

http://www.psm3mag.com/resources/psm3/arrival2.jpg

And there's some games in there too. Momma!

http://www.psm3mag.com/resources/psm3/arrival3.jpg

And… there… it… is…

And there's Dave settled in for the week. Shortly before we bludgeoned him to death.More tomorrow :-p

[VideoGame mania]

nvm

[curryking1]

OMG so beautiful!!!11one11!! NSFW!!!

Hahaha, sweet find, nice to see what exactly I will eventually have in my living room.

I don't remember so many cables for the PS2 tho lol! I see the RJ45, power, composite, usb charge thing, what's the last one though?

[jako]

No game in 1080p ?
I thought that Lair was

1. A/V Cable
2. Power Cable
3. Lan Cable
4. Controller Cable
5. HD Component Cables

[cliffbo]

yes Lair is a 1080p game. i think your getting confused between VGs post and mine.

??? Is this supposed to be some type of description of how the 'L2' 'R2' feel like? If so then how the hell does an 'L4' 'R4' feel like. who the hell has ever experienced that. lol.

??? Is this supposed to be some type of description of how the 'L2' 'R2' feel like? If so then how the hell does an 'L4' 'R4' feel like. who the hell has ever experienced that. lol.I guess you know that by pressing the analog sticks upright you're actually pressing the L3 and R3 digital buttons on the DS, DS2 and SIXAXIS, and doing so feels like "click". I really don't know whether that "click" on L2 and R2 means that they've reached their press limit or whether SIXAXIS features yet two more buttons. I'd say the first option is the most likely one.

maybe a usb?

[xbdestroya]

Well, the usb *is* the controller cable...

(By the way, just noticed the bearded dragons User Friendly - definitely the finest of lizards. Mine died earlier this year and I still miss him...)

[taxloss]

Quick Question, whats under the flap on the 20GB version? Or is it just fixed and doesn't open?

[VG Aficionado]

Quick Question, whats under the flap on the 20GB version? Or is it just fixed and doesn't open?Since it has no flash card ports, it's not a flap, just a part of the case.

[lips]

so the grey wire in the top left that the connectors are hidden is the hd component? I guess that can be dropped into the garbage on the way out to buy an hdmi cable. I mean, who honestly would want that when all hdtv sets accept digital dvi cables, atleast.

[user friendly]

Well, the usb *is* the controller cable...

doh, maybe ign was lucky enough to get component?

(By the way, just noticed the bearded dragons User Friendly - definitely the finest of lizards. Mine died earlier this year and I still miss him...)

thank you I love my dragons, there pretty much like tiny lapdogs cept' way cooler... :smirk:

Sorry for your loss..

[jags71]

I still cant figure out why they decided to put in an ethernet cable. I think HD component cables are much more important. Especially since more than half the consoles are going to be wifi!

I dont have a link but i remember KH saying that the reason for not including component cables is that they dont know how long consumers need them. But, ethernet cables are even more of an unknown for distance. At least you know the console is going to be sitting near the TV, whereas the router can be located anywhere in a house.

[overclocked]

Funny or sad that the L.A.I.R BD was written October 06, ehhhh it is spring spring 07.
Dont confuse the media cause we know what happends...

[yoshaw]

Well, the usb *is* the controller cable...


If we look at these pics. It shows a big protruding (rectangular) thing coming out from one end of the cable. Now the question is, what kind of a thing requires such a huge thing on one end. It's a hella lot bigger(and odd rectangulish!) than the power cable plug end, that's a given for anyone with an ounce of PC know-how.

So I think some eagle eyed cable fetishist member should step out and describe what it can be. :hugegrin:

The cable in these pics is what I'm talking about...

http://xs308.xs.to/xs308/06433/oddcable0.jpg
http://xs308.xs.to/xs308/06433/oddcable1.jpg

Power Voltage Adapter?

Or

Power Cable Extender?

:\

Maybe. It is also the same size and wire gauge as the video out to tv module for my geforce card. too bad you can almost make out the labelling on the length.

[user friendly]

Hmm, maybe they got some sort of makeshift memcard adapter? Or maybe it could be a votage adapter like yosha stated...

[yoshaw]

What I meant with adapter was for it being a voltage up/down converter for worldwide consumers who'd like to travel with it. But then again, Lik-sang story is enough to squash this theory.

Lips,
You mention an interesting aspect, I too have a cable that came with my 6600GT and it plugs into the DVI port and converts it to Component out. I'll see if I can post screenshots of this thing I'm talking about. It's huge end sure as hell looks quite similar to the PS3 cable we have here in the pics I posted above.

lol Oh God, please let it be Nvidia helping out sony with a free hdmi-to-component cable. Won't that be a megaton!

[Lekko]

It looks like an official memorycard adapter. If that is a test unit, they would need that for testing BC. My bet is memory card adapter.

[yoshaw]

Ohh, I could have easily accepted that if I hadn't seen the ultra high-res pics of the adapter. Thing is, the PS2 to PS3 memorycard adapter uses a standard USB to mini-usb cable. Exactly like the one used to charge the Sixaxis controller. So the cable is probably not the memorycard adapter. Unless Sony decided to make usb cable as thick as it appears on that cable >.< Unnecessary waste of plastic you see.

It's just an ordinary power cable.

[Applefiend]

Looks like a UK 3 prong plug.

[user friendly]

hat I meant with adapter was for it being a voltage up/down converter

I know what you meant....



What about a SCART. I doubt it, probably a voltage adaptor

[KiLLA2006]

okay guys, so im a little behind on the info so about the hd component cable, will we get one or not, and if not how much would they cost seperately?

[user friendly]

apparently its only being shipped with composite, which is bung unless you dont have an hd tv or s video input. Component should cost more than 30$ (CAN)

[satriales]

I know what you meant....

It's just the power cable, nothing mysterious about it.

[GTAce]

And the second round! (http://www.psm3mag.com/page/psm3?entry=ps3_movies_here)

The vids are soo cool.^^

[yoshaw]

I know what you meant....

Sorry dude, I wasn't pointing my sentence at you. It was more of a thinking out loud moment. I do that often times. If felt otherwise, my bad. I'll quote you next time I talk to you, so no hard feelings :)

It's just the power cable, nothing mysterious about it.

Edit: confirmed two power leads, one for US, another for Europe. lol

The contents of the box (composite lead and no HDMI lead?!?! Please put this right for the UK launch Mr Sony!) Just so you know, the box contained: A PS3, a UK power lead, an American power lead, an ethernet cable, a composite TV lead, one joypad, a USB to mini USB lead (used for charging the pad) and (in our box) a copy of Resistance, a copy of Genji and two discs each with a single MotorStorm track. (One disc labelled MotorStorm Coyote, one laballed MotorStorm Rain.)

GTAce,
Thanks for the video. Watching it now.

[Rizon]

soooo...... where are these psm3 offices located? just curious and all........

[KiLLA2006]

so i must buy a hd component, to be able to use my ps3 in hi def mode....

i guess thats fine...

but the real problem is now that 2006 is coming to an end, what will my new name be...

[user friendly]

or hdmi if you have an input on your tv

hey Killa, do you use component cables with your Playstation 2? If so just use them with your PS3. Because both the Playstation 2 and Playstation 3 have the same Multi AV out.

[digital neXus]

So anyone noticed after 3 pages, that the piracy will rule. Those are classic, whent the time comes and the price falls, I will be an owner of the BluRay burner, Verbatim BD discs.

So there is the answer to piracy on PS3.

-Excelente....

[yoshaw]

^Ugh! Don't get too cozy with that thought mister. You won't be seeing a day like that anytime soon especially when 25GB BDR's cost a lot and a BDR burner can run you USD$750(sony) to USD$1000+(Plextor/BenQ) link (http://www.tgdaily.com/2006/08/28/plextor_blu_ray/), link2 (http://www.engadget.com/2006/07/03/benq-reveals-price-release-window-for-bw1000-blu-ray-burner/) - on top of that.

[Lekko]

...not to mention that that is most likely a test unit, so it can play test builds for review purposes. That, or Sony has not yet started making game discs with art on them (especially since those aren't gold final builds as stated on the discs)

[nwo504]

$750 + $20 a disc? id rather buy the originals and sell them when i get bored with them.
