The size seems fine to me if its like the PS2.The PS2 wasnt even smaller than the SNES but nobody complained.And since you can place it sideways it saves space

I\'d love to see the PS3 be any smaller.  It won\'t happen. Sure it\'s 5 years newer than the PS2, but the innards are also 5 years newer.

I think the design is ok.  They\'ll offer different colors I\'m sure either via face plates or pre-market.

Not a big fan of the controller.  I\'m a duke guy.

oh my, and look at just how well those consoles did.

If I\'m sorry but if Sony selles thier consoel for that much they will turn down a SH!TLOAD of buyers and who will get those buyers? take a guess. I can see 400 max, but anything higher and I will cry.

I have owned every sony console out and wait 14 hrs. in line to get my PS2 on Oct. 23 I think the release date was "off the top of my head" I will do the same for the PS3 if it\'s worth it.

Unknown, did you see the post that also said $300 for base PS3? That\'s the same as Xbox 360 (presumably).

Please explian why it would cost 700-900 with an HDD?


the poster before me, knotter8 quote a link saying it may cost $700 to $900 with Hard Disk Drive....shrugs...i don\'t why why it would cost that much honestly, but that is what the link said.

But my main concern is the Blu Ray support, if it does support blu ray, how much would it cost?

It wouldn\'t cost much because consoles would be the only way to provide a cheap Blu-ray player. However, with all this talk of HD-DVD and Blu-ray merging, who the hell knows what it\'ll have?

Read here : link

Blu-ray is most likely NOT going to be accepted as the new standard. HD DVD opposition is just to big, \'thanx\' to Hollywood.

You guys should read some more articles.
The 300 dollar pricepoint is for the PS3 you are wanting.

The estimate of 700 dollar for the PS3 with full PSX-like features might cost that.

Most ppl always complain they don\'t want extra cost becuz of such multimedia functions ; well Sony nullifies those arguments becuz you will have a choice between the game PS3 @ 300 USD and the \'PSX multimedia features\' PS3 @ ~ 700 USD.

Anyway, it\'s not clear yet which format will be PS3\'s optical device. My guess is indeed it\'ll be a \'concession format\'. The Hollywood lobby for HD DVD is just too strong for Blu Ray.

Ppl need to stop going PANIC when they see an estimate figure of 700 USD for a multimedia version they don\'t want anyway.

however, i think differently.  I am routing for Blu Ray and hopefully it will be the format choice in the competition for consumers and hopefully HD-DVD will lose the competition between the two formats.

Well, yeah Blu Ray has my vote too, but the Hollywood lobby for HD DVD is just too damn huge. Sony\'ll never win that.

Just like Betamax lost vs the VHS...

Anyway, I\'m sure Sony\'ll keep the pricepoint for the \'gaming\' PS3 at 300 or something alike Xbox360.

why are people comparing it to  6 year old technology?

:confused:
you guys will make excuses for anything

it could be as big as a volkswagon, and you guys would say "well, it\'s not that big compared to cray machines.  it has a nice shiny power button, and halo 2.5 so i have to get it."

I think Xbox360 will be a great machine which\'ll bring some nice novelties like true HD TV gaming.

But...imo it might be pushed to market a bit too soon. We can\'t exactly trace back the dates when technology development for both consoles really started..

Golden SNES?  Ever hear of washing your hands?  My original SNES looks as new as the day I got it. *shrugs*

I like the console, but I\'m not too sure about that controller.


As for the Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD format, I think Sony and Toshiba are merging their technologies so there are no worries about a format war.

Rikku, it\'s presumably because of the wireless controllers (to show/choose who\'s who).
