first pics of ps3 system?

I'm guessing a photochop.. I'm not a Sony fan, nor a PS fan.. but they would be making a grave mistake if they released that thing .. /barf
 
i personally think the orig ps2 was ugly as sin. I kind of doubt its authenticity because I would think it would need a bigass heatsink/fan to cool its guts if its gonna have a gf6/7 and a several ghz cell chip.
 
Theres no way sony is stupid enough to sell something looking like that.


the PS2 is superior in design to that.


Hell...the PS1 is superior in design to that.


That things a steaming pile of goat shit.
 
what do you know about hardware kamatarugi? you have a p4 based celeron in your rig. *snicker*

And to all of you who think sony will be putting out a slim pstwo like console I have a little reality check for you. How big are the coolers on geforce 6 series gpus? How big a cooler is the Cell processor going to need if it does indeed run @4.6ghz? The only pc people running that fast aren't using aircooling, their going with vapor phase or water cooling, right? So don't expect a slim sleek sexy ps3, expect a big fat loud ps3, I don't see any way around that. I think Sony/Microsoft should embrace the horror and make a console with a big fat HSF unit sticking out the top of it with a snazzy LED fan on it. That would be kewl.

I doubt that. They're not gonna make it big or loud. The asian market demands small profile machines, and thats where thier main market is.

Ooh, your rapier edged wit astounds me.


Verily! Watch thine tongue, for it slices to the core of my being! :rolleyes:

I know enough about LOOKs of something to know I don't want something that fucking ugly on top of my TV.
 
doesnt look that bad, looks like it's been keeping in touch with sony's new style (the whole buisness with the silver circle, like on the PSP)
 
Doesn't it look like the psp? Looks legit to me aside from the whole cooling thing i was mentioning. People seem to forget that hardware generates heat, and unless sony has invented a means of taking that heat radiation and reclaiming it to power the unit (thus removing/changing the heat) its going to need some hardcore cooling. I hope they don't make it small and pretty, and have like 1 80mm fan screaming at 6000RPM or something.

the new pstwo is small and pretty and it kicks ass, there is no need for a monster fan with the external power supply too.
 
I think its a fake, look at the lights and, the reflection in the upper left corner and where the plastic face meets the top. The lines are jaggy an undefined. Also the details look blurry. It could just be the effect of a scan but it dosn't look like a scanned image to me.
 
Cooling definatly isnt ging to take up that much space. Im willing to bet that they are going to use some sort of heatpipe solution similar to what laptops use, its not going to take up much space at all.
 
That was photoshopped with a Camera, and a DVD player. or it was done in 3-DCAD and Model.
Look at the PLAYSTATION 3 Logo, it has some fading on it, and look right as you see the mid point of the round edge look at this in a picture veiwer and magnify to at least 2X, there is an instant drop of pixels at the top and bottom. you can see a bit of displacement.
But I could be wrong, It could actually be real, but as some others said, its not Sony's style.

Did you read my post? The Sight that announced it first, confirmed it as a photoshop.

NOT REAL
 
there are lots of people out there trying to say this and that about the PS3, remember this?:
ps3.jpg

the Photoshop of a PS2 and an old DustBuster? (those were the days.)
 
okay everybody, let me start over again. What did the original playstation look like? It was thick big and square. Okay, fast forward 5-6 years and sony makes a slim small sexy ps1 that aside from some overheating problems is a very successfull redesign. Ps2 comes out, its not as big as a 70's vcr (cough xbox) but its not that much smaller than the orig playstation and it has a somewhat loud fan. Fast forward a few revisions and the ps2 is same size but with quiter fan because its guts are now being manufactured using a smaller manufacturing process, and it produces less heat. Then sony puts out the pstwo which is smaller, and has no prob with heat because the tech they have NOW enables them to make a 300mhz emotion engine produce much less heat and its die is smaller.

So from this we learn that when they first release a product the technology is cutting edge which means it has big chips that run pretty hot and require some reasonably sizeable coolers to deal with them. Later on down the road they redesign it using the new manufacturing techniques (such as going from 180nm manufacturing with the ps2 emotion engine to 130nm manufacturing) which allows them to use smaller coolers, slower fans and make a smaller sleeker design.

That doesn't mean that because sony can make a ps1 or ps2 smaller now that they will be able to make a small ps3. Its got a big cpu (have you seen a cell chip?) and its going to have a gpu made by the guys who started the whole 2 slot cooling solution gpus thing. You can't just assume that because the pstwo is small that the ps3 will be too. I'm sure given a couple revisions, a change from 90nm to 65nm process they will be able to make the ps3 smaller, cooler ect. The only way their going to dodge the heat bullet is if they put a slow running cell chip in it (whats the point of that) and/or lower end nvidia gpu that wont put out that much heat.

I'm sorry if i come accross sounding like a jerk, but it blows me away that everybody on THIS forum who should be better informed about heat/cooling than the average gamepro reader are so sure that sony is gonna make the ps3 a little sleek thingy and its gonna be a superfast HDTV ready gaming machine.
 
You gotta rememer that its going to be using just enough cooling to get by. Also you have to keep in mind that the cell chip is desinged to run at that high speed, its apples and oranges to compare it to a P4 or somethign running at 4.6 because the people at intel never desinged it to run that fast, so of course its gonna need uber coolign to get there because it wasnt made to get there. I dont anticipate the PS3 being very large simply because of cooling needs. Also, you have to consider how the PS2 and the new PS2 are made. They took off the Hard Drive bay and took out the Power supply, and changed the CD mechanism. Those 3 thing there more than likely account more for the size change than heat issues.
 
actually intel said the p4 would be at 5ghz by now, so yeah they intended to get there. What they didn't see coming was the big mac truck called "thermal leakage" and it gets worse going from .13 to .09 and so on and so forth. Thermal leakage is caused by physics, its not gonna be something that can be designed around. Thats why AMD and Intel are implementing SOI and Strained Silicone in their manufacturing processes. Anandtech did an excellent article about the problems with heat and shrinking manufacturing processes here: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2343 pay close attention here: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2343&p=3

Its not like Sony can like "plan" on making a chip that runs at 4.6ghz and does so at low temps , just because they plan it that way. Physics apply to sony as well as to Intel and AMD. 4.6ghz cpu w/8 synergistic fpu's = lots of heat. Just one nvidia 6 series gforce core= lots of heat. ps3 will either be big and noisy and powerfull as hell or smaller quiter and considerably weaker. Although i do agree that they will use cooling JUST good enough to keep the systems alive for more than 90days of general use.
 
to bad no company uses anything other then intel. I respect Nintendo in using an Apple processor (isnt apple an american company??)
 
It is the size of portable boombox. There is no way Sony thinks people are going to put that on top of or beside their TV.
Even if it is vaporware, have you seen how thin the phantom is? Thats what I'm expecting.

Read the thread.

Plus, people bought the Xbox, that thing cant be much bigger then the xbox (if it was real, which it isnt) (I bought an Xbox and luv it)

I saw the thread, doesn't mean that the general design still isn't in some testing or idea mode.
My comment was to help point out future PS images. Sony just isn't going to release some oddly shaped tubed.

The Xbox isn't the size of a portable boombox and it isn't oddly shaped compared to other entertainment items. It was just stupidly large.
 
does anyone else find it odd that the ad doesn't just pimp the ps3, but it also has sony's other products? ....like a cell phone?

and that front panel is just fugly imo..where's the eject button? i'm calling photochop. especially if you look at the UMD spot...and how it has mad pixelation going on around it.

Last time I checked, no one owned a purple computer case with an FX-55 AMD in it.
There are so many more factors beside "performance". Take the PSP for example, that thing is getting slammed all over the net cause of the warranty on the screen. The fact thats its specs are "better" then the DS ended up meaning jack shit.

You didn't read the rest of the thread that had already determined it was a fake did you?
 
i dont understand how the PSP has more power then a ps2 and the mini ps2 has heat problems damn sony is dumb(yes psp is more powerful,battery life and disk storage keep it from that potential )

The PSP does not have more power than the PS2.

It has the same speed processor and RAM.

According to XPlay, it's graphics chip is slightly slower than the PS2 (I don't know if they are correct or not, the article was pro-PSP and posted somewhere on this board), but I'd assume that because it has a lower resolution screen it doesn't have to render as much as the PS2 and therefore the onscreen graphics should be about the same as the PS2.

Disk storage only affects loading time, and battery life does not affect performance.

In terms of processing power, it's exactly equal to the PS2.

Okay, but id use an fx-55 if it was in a purple case and wouldnt think twice about it. Really the looks of a video game console are not all that important. your talking about quality of components and comparing it with looks? that just doesnt make any sense. looks mean nothing (espically in a video game console) its all about the quality of the components used to build it, and the things it can do.
