the games wont be garbage. Just look at gamespot.com ( http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/index.html ) for anything new. Obviously they dont have in game stuff yet but you can see what direction theyre going.

Already a few games im looking foreward to. MGS, Warhawk, Resident Evil, even spider-man (hell..its next gen..might as well give it a try). Games they dont have yet like GTA, Gran Turismo, etc. As for gameplay, expect it to be a top of the line PC..on a console..

Not necessarily clips, we haven\'t seen any Nintendo Revolution stuff, hardly at all. That comes out this fall, too.

so...we can now summarize some specs/info...


- GLOBAL RELEASE NOVEMBER 11th

- 60GB HDD 2.5" with pre-installed Linux OS

-Bigger HDDs will be introduced after launch

- Dev kit specs fix as of today

- Final PS3 development kits will be sent to developers in June

- 10.000.000 BD-ROMS manufacturing capability per month @ cost around same as 2-layer DVD
(Ken K. went out of his way to say he feels PS3 will be the best Blu-ray player, quality-wise when it is launched !)

- Every PS3 game will be on a Blu Ray Disc, in an attempt to prevent piracy

- Price will not be less than 50.000YEN (~$425USD)

- PS3 will have "next gen" HDMI support from launch(HDMI 1.3 is my guess)

- Sony plans to produce 1 million PS3s a month; 6 million PS3s for FY2006 (by the end of March 07)
-Mass production of PS3 hardware will begin in June 2006 (the end of spring lol)

- basic" online service free, no details yet (could be XBLS for PS3)

- Full backwards compatibility, hi-res and texture filtering for all titles (akin to what the Xbox 360 does to Halo)
- The online service will be working off of GameSpy technology

- RAM upgrade is said to be in...well...I\'d like to know if we\'ll have
more ram (1 gig) or faster ram (all Rambus XRDRAM) or perhaps both...
(not confirmed, "strong" rumor)












I\'ll stay tuned for more info...

1) 60GB HDD 2.5" with pre-installed Linux OS

2) Bigger HDDs will be introduced after launch / upgradeable

3) Games will require HDD

4) I think(my opinion) it won\'t be a built-in HD, but you\'ll buy your own with PS3 to play games :) ...it may be separate...

well, there\'s a lot of speaking about it lately...and right now your question can\'t be answered:)...people are getting confused \'cause the HDD is required but not standard...so...what does it mean ? Only one SKU available...games will require HDD...but it\'s not standard ?!...:confused: maybe PS3 + separate 60GB HDD is the "standard"...but you can even choose a bigger HDD, or a smaller one...
...people in every forum are going mad about it...:)

I hope it\'s not separate. Then it\'s just an overpriced memory card. Put it in the system like the premium 360 and be done with it.

well, PS3 HDD should have some sort of proprietary filesystem format that cannot be reproduced by unofficial hardware, without some hard hacking, but it\'s just speculation...

...but think that a wide range of sizes for PS3 HDD give you more freedom, and don\'t force you to have a HDD you don\'t want...you will be able to get the cheap/standard HDD(and have "money back" with XXX free contents from your HDD) or a bigger one if you prefer...my opinion...

PS3 will have hard drive as standard
Friday March 17, 11:12 AM  

Quote

Our Sony representative has confirmed this morning that PlayStation 3 will come with a 60GB HDD as standard, but that can be upgraded if preferred.

Some of the larger US websites have been speculating that PlayStation 3 would be shipping with an optional 60GB hard disc drive. However we can confirm this morning that all PS3 consoles will be sold with the HDD out of the box. Sony\'s president of Computer Entertainment, Ken Kutaragi, announced on Wednesday that all PS3 games are being developed to take advantage of the 60GB HDD.

Another essential use for the HDD will be Sony\'s online service, which will offer downloads in a similar way to Microsoft\'s Xbox Live platform. Clearly now it is Sony\'s intention to standardise the PlayStation 3 community, so that all developers know that everybody who owns PS3 will benefit from HDD-related features in-game. Bizarrely this used to be Microsoft\'s standpoint with its original Xbox, but the Redmond corporation has since taken an about turn with Xbox 360.

well, it confirms my thoughts...

Bigger question.

Cell CPU
Blu-Ray Drive
60 GIG HD.

How much is this all goin\' to add to an already expensive console? While I can apperciate the fact that Sony learned from their mistakes last generation (HD + add-on  = Failure) and want to make it a standard, I have to worry that this will just add to the cost of the system. The XBOX360 HD already runs around $100 bucks extra, you figure a 60 gig one would be at least $150 extra. Either the console is goin\' to be outrageous price wise or Sony will take a huge loss with each console sold, therefor making their money off the Blu-Ray format and rising the price of the games themselves, much like the outrageous $60 dollar Xbox 360 games.
