|MaguS| said:You have to consider that the PS3 also has an internal powersupply unlike the black box the X360 uses. Atleast it looks like it has an internal one do to the power connector on the back of the console.
JethroXP said:Taking another look at the photos I think you are correct. And if that's the case, then that means it will be even hotter inside. Pulling the Power Supply out of the box wasn't done just for space considerations on the Xbox360, it was also done to remove a large source of heat from inside the box. I hope someone is able to place a hand on a running PS3 on the show floor and get a sense for how warm it feels.
I believe sony droped that feature, much to my disappointment. Atleast in the $499 and $599 versions. I hear Sony is releasing a $699 version that has the ball shaver later.Slartibartfast said:The added warmth makes the ball shaver more comfortable

Another aspect of compatibility is more problematic. Due to AACS copy protection, the Blu-ray players will only output HD content via HDMI and DVI-D connections, meaning that older HDTV models with Component, RGB D-Sub, and DVI-A inputs (currently, majority of HDTVs in US) will only display video at standard definition or not at all.
So no, you most likely will NOT be "getting" blu-ray with the 499 flavor if I'm understanding this correctly.

|MaguS| said:Great toss of unofficial or stated information... where does it say it still has overheating and noise problems? Heck if anything Sony has made more progress then MS by having the first time playable actually running on Devkits insted of PCs (X360 Demos last year ran on Macs).

JethroXP said:Did anyone else notice the weight? 5kg, that's 11 lbs. That's about 50% heavier than an Xbox360 which only weighs 7 lbs. Not a big deal, just sort of raised my eyebrows when I saw it.

We're the [H] remember.
$10 to the first guy to tear it apart, upgrade the hard drive and watercool the SLU's.
i hope it's a lot. after the extreme hype-machine that was the PS2 ("at least 4" controller ports, web-surfing, printer, digital camera connections [Eye Toy doesn't count], "Toy Story-like graphics"), i kinda hope Sony gets what they have coming. MS may be the Hitler of the OS market, but they've done a great job of listening to the gaming community and offering some value for our dollars, IMO. that may be because they're new to the market, but i don't care. whatever the reason, they've been more up front and accomodating than Sony has been all along.swatbat said:O well it will be interesting to see how much market share sony will loose to ms and nintendo this round.
killedaway said:if the PS3 has the games, graphics and value to back up Sony's claims, i'll buy one, easy, but that doesn't mean i don't want them to get chainsaw-humped by MS and Nintendo, 'cause i totally do.
hard.

swatbat said:Hell unless nintendo and ms somehow don't have the games and graphics(so far the 360 can handle the graphics) then I really don't see myself buying one. If blueray looks good I'll buy a bluyray player as I think the ps2 and xbox sucked at dvds just like the sega saturn sucked with vcds(I had the jap adapter). I'm a college student and can't see spending that much cash on the system. I also don't see many parents buying one for the kids. At that price point it seems like sony wants to take the hardcore gaming title away from ms(as the xbox was considered more for hardcore gamers) but in the process they are killing the chance for the normal gamers that will not drop that cash.
laxmiddi44 said:You guys need to stop critizing the ps3 so much, the 360 doesn't even an digital HD port (HDMI or DVI), so i mean of course your gonna have to pay a premium price for it. When the sony guy said that the reason they did this was because most people dont have HDMI, he was right.
Firewall said:Most people don't know what HDMI even is, so Sony is fucked.
All people want to know is if it plays "cool" games that look like real tv, and if they can watch "dvd's" on it. When they plop in a dvd and it doesn't work, then they will be pissed off.
I don't think Sony is going belly up, but they certainly are in big trouble......
