[SilviaDriver]

[SimpleS14]

I don't get it....is that a chop?

[SilviaDriver]

i kill u 95blue

those are real ads. the buttons are chopped in half with a certain pattern

[G_Fish240]

Nice 1337 speak

[SilviaNinja240]

wtf?! What kinda advertisement is that? At least the aliens would be able to read it.

[Drift101]

i don't get the "chang" part....

[cali240sxdrifter]

I wonder which console will be the fav at E3. But, PC gamer for life

[SilviaDriver]

i don't get the "chang" part....


Sony's message: "Welcome Chang3." Yes, instead of an "E" the letter is replaced with a squared-off "3," clearly signaling the PS3's presence at the show.


The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

[linkwpc]

[Phlip]

:ghey:

I agree, that is what the other one spiraled into, making it impossible to stomach now

[exitspeed]

Those ads are pretty creative. They tell you everything, and nothing.

[Ritz S14]

Since the buttons are only half as big, the console should be half the size as well :keke: jk

[95Blue240sx]

i see a half life symbol.

[Andrew Bohan]

you mean lambda?
or in this case, 3/4 of the X button

[Revolver Ocelot]

I cannot wait to see the new systems! :hyper: OFF TO E3 I GO ON WENDESDAY!!!!!!! :2f2f: :rawk:

a link that compares the specs of the ps3 vs xbox360

http://hardware.gamespot.com/Sony-PlayStation-3-C-15015-x-4-4

[matlock]

Hmm looks really neat I will probably end up purchasing both of them.

[cali240sxdrifter]

so far am liking the PS3 specs and design. Now what makes or break a console is its games, so I hope to see some screenshots of PS3 games later tomorrow.

[SilviaDriver]

some games that are coming out for ps3 is

devil may cry 4
tekken 6
Grand Theft Auto Next

and GT5!!

http://www.gamespot.com/e3/e3games.html

constantly updated

[ALTRNTV]

Sweet! I'll be getting one then.

[nlzmo400r]

well there goes another $400....... :rolleyes

[cali240sxdrifter]

ohman, I was just thinking of GT5. Where now that the PS3 has Blue ray disc thing that can hold up to like 50 gigs or something. Now they can add real life video footage of each car and a historical background on it. Going to be awesome.

Oh, I just watch that footage of the upcoming games and Killzone just blew me away. If PS3 is going to have a keyboard and mouse at lanuch then i'll get it.

[SochBAT]

funk that, PS2 All the way. its still got so much more potential still. get yourself a HD, and HDAdvanced. Rip games and save them to your HD. no need to buy games, just rent em. Hopefully, they've got a shitload of pirateware for teh PS3 ready and waiting.

whoa george forman grill

[ALTRNTV]

I'll take one in black please.

[matlock]

I like the white myself :D I think its cool they have multiple colors

[Andrew Bohan]

still not as fun all as all the colors of ps2 they have in japan

my friend has a white one. and my other friend has a pink one.

[sLip techniques]

so whats the deal with 7 controller ports?

[SilviaDriver]

still not as fun all as all the colors of ps2 they have in japan

my friend has a white one. and my other friend has a pink one.

yea i was gonna mention that, japan has a lot of colors for the ps2, i believe there was teal too.


wats the deal with 7 control ports? the question is "why NOT have 7 control ports"

[Var]

cause that makes un even teams

[SilviaDriver]

there is even teams, two teams of 3, tell #7 to go make food, he is an all around player

[Jeff240sx]

[fastpace]

So does anyone have an ideal of how much the two consoles are going to cost?

[G_Fish240]

I saw somewhere that xbox 360 is going to be around 300 so I imagine the ps3 will be close to that

[NZO]

Word is ps3 will come in two versions, the game version which will be ~$300 and later the home entertainment hub version (similar to psx) which will be someting like $700.

[Drift101]

not a fan of the ps3 controller. do like the idea of it being wireless though. also, is it me or does the ps3 have a similar resemblence to the font design of the Spiderman 2 movie?

[nlzmo400r]

i think that ps3 controller looks like it would be super uncomfortable

[sLip techniques]

wow if you were to play 7 people on one TV thats not a 42+ inch then i dont know...

[G_Fish240]

Ha yeah that is the Spiderman 2 font

[SilviaDriver]

wow if you were to play 7 people on one TV thats not a 42+ inch then i dont know...

look at the resolution, thats why your able to hook it up to two 41+ inch HDTVs and it will work.

as for pricing. japanese spokesman said they will sell under 50000 yen, and exhanage rate now is 465

[matlock]

Yeah I was reading online and it said it will probably be closer to the $400 Price point. I just don't understand the unevenness of the teams. Oh well maybe another accessory will occupy the port, then it could make sense.
