First "OFFICIAL" PS3 information

Good Point Adan.. a PC with 100MB of ram 15 years ago was the UBER SUPER SERVER that supported entire corporations! ENTIRE CORPORATIONS! If we\'re talking 4 years from now, 512MB would only be an eighth of what average PC\'s will be sporting.

Whoa now that sounds like a beast i can\'t wait to see this thing in action.  But ps2 still has a llllllllloooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg life ahead of it.  Sony isn\'t going nowhere.

I\'m leaving for Target right now. I got my sleeping bag, bags of chips, bottles of water, a port-o-jon on a rented pick-up truck....yep. I am the FIRST person in line for this PS3 in the entire world!

So....if I don\'t post for a few years....you know where to find me.

*IF* it is true, count me dissapointed. I mean, "triple shock", how original can they get ? I would like to think that within ten years we have evoled past the original dual-shock design. And please, don\'t give me the lecture on "don\'t fix it, if it ain\'t broke", because there is plenty of room for improvement on the dual shock design.

I think its fake..
Why would sony go into detail about the hardware (like AA and stuff) when talking infront of investors? I dont think they really care about the technical stuff..

Uhm, yeah. You do realize that companies do hold conferences showing their latest technology and explain all the great things - even if it doesn\'t mean much to the investors, right? Its just the way the business world works.

I\'d be more than happy if they keep the dual shock the way it is. In fact, I would hate to see them go the Nintendo/Microsoft route with the joysticks. I don\'t care if you call them unoriginal or whatever, but IMO, they should keep things that are already good.

Yes I do.. But I don’t think they would go into the extreme detail like in the article.
Investors are prolly more into $$$ number than polygon numbers.

Its obviously fake or it would have been all over the net.
Ive only seen it on this forum sofar.

I\'m not saying it isn\'t fake. I am just saying that when a company does unveil new products they do go into extreme detail on what the product features and enhancements over the previous version , even if it is completely above the investors head.

As for the Dual Shock comments - I maintain that the single best joypad ever was the Sega Saturn Japanese pad and the best 3D pad was the Sega Saturn Nights controller.

Then again, I would just like more advancements in my consoles. THere is something about paying $300 dollars for something with the same exact controller..It just bothers me. Espically when everytime I use it I can find problem areas that need to be worked on.

And the investors would go "ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
When I picture Sony investors I see old grey Japenese men who isnt really into the technical part

THere is something about paying $300 dollars for something with the same exact controller..

DS2 might look like a DS1 but its far from the same controller.
Analog buttons, better "joysticks" ect.

But I agree that the name "Trippleshock" or whatever sounds kinda, gay

I think it\'s a fake. It\'s too early for a working model I think, or any kind of specs to be released. Yes, it would be nice for investors.. in a CLOSED meeting. Releasing detailed information about it right now would be a huge tip off to the competition who are also working on next generation machines. I don\'t think Sony is this stupid or arrogant. Besides, all of the really offical news we\'ve heard includes plans to parallel process with other PS3\'s through broadband or some kind of super fast network. To what digree they plan to push that I don\'t know, but it would have had at least SOME mention in this press release. Not even a whisper about it\'s online capabilities.. which I find odd.

Everything about this artical screams "Suck on that Xbox fanboys". It\'s well written, but it\'s tone and a few missing pieces of the picture betray it as a fake IMO.

Oh, and as far as controllers.. I think you\'re nuts Fastson. I agree with L-I-C. "Better" analog sticks and Analog buttons does NOT make a "very" different controller. It\'s an enhanced PSX controller.. not different.. not original.

Not to say I wouldn\'t be happy with an "Enhanced" PSX controller. After all, I use a DS2 on my DC and will use one on all of my consoles this generation probably. It\'s a good controller, but don\'t try to turn the DS2 into something it\'s not. It makes you looked brainwashed.

I will be disapointed if  the PS3  cant handle Final Fantasy The Movie quality graphics perfectly.Thats something we have been promised.
Ofcourse we dont know if its true yet and even if it is there are still 4 years left for improvements.

Also lets not forget the power of GScube\'s which can handle graphics like the Matrix and Ants(Although I dont think Sony can design a console that powerfull while keeping its price logical).

omfg I just read the whole thing. Don\'t know if its a hoax or not but it sounds DAMN IMPRESSIVE. I\'m already drooling about it. We just need some proof to back all this up. Some vids or pics would really help. But just thinking about the possibilities is fun.

Of course we don\'t really know much of anything about well...anything. How much will it cost is one big question. If it can do all that and has all these extra peripherals (for example the backwards compatibility, along with the 50 gig hard drive) will it stick with the well known sticker release price of 300 dollars? I hope so. For now, we wait till more info is released. 2006 release date eh? only 4 years away. I know i\'ll be preordering it.

i was just wondering is this the secret news that was mentioned in this thread

That\'s what I though too... at first. I doubt it though, since all indicates that the above is fake and was wittnessed on July the 15th. With that date in mind, it has to be fake, as news like this would most likely be out on every site in just about an hour after the meeting.
