Okay, don\'t get me wrong, I\'m not too eager for SONY to release the PS3 coz I\'m having too much fun with the PS2 right now to bother.
But here\'s my wish list for some of the things that should be in the PS3. I\'m not too bother about the specs and power but rather some features which might be useful.
(1) A built-in direct connection port to PC via USB port. The PS3 should have an option in the main menu that support this. Imagine this, you can do so much with ur PS3 without buying additional stuff...printers, link to web, download cheats/savegames, backup your savegames and stores to CD via CD burner...capture images from PS3 directly and print to printer...etc...etc... the stuff is limitless. Although we have something similar with 3rd party gadgets on the PS2, this gadgets are never popular and not very reliable either and the use is quite limited.
(3) Built in VGA port to connect to VGA monitor directly. I don\'t think we should be playing on low-res TV anymore for the next gen, but if HDTV prices are still prohibitive, this will be an excellent solution.
(4) Swappable/Replaceable DVD-ROM drive. We all know how RELIABLE SONY\'S lens is...rather than throwing the whole thing away, a better solution is just to replace it with a new DVD-rom drive if it blows since DVD-ROM drive are so cheap. Even if SONY doesn\'t want to support open standard with any DVD-ROM drive, at least make the spare proprietary drive themselves so that it\'s easily replaceable.
(5) PS2 compatibitly. I would love to play all these games again in jaggie free hi-res. I don\'t think anyone will be bother by PS1 compatibility by then.
(6) For god\'s sake!!! No more jaggies!!! 128MB VRAM minimum!!!
(7) Support true USB standard(err...is it true USB standard in PS2 now?? )
(8) The controller design shouldn\'t change...it\'s really the best for 3D games.
(9) Other stuff should come standard like built-in HD and network adaptor. I don\'t really care about it but it makes some interesting stuff to rip your own music track in the game and perhaps capture some screenshot.
Well, what do u guys think should be add??
