Guys, having just heard that the 20Gb PS3 won't include a HDMI port, does this mean that it won't be able to output HD images?
If this is te case, then quite frankly i'm appauled at what Sony is doing, that means for £100 more than an XBOX360 you won't get HD pictures???
Somebody please clear this up for me.
Cheers

Bottom line is that they prob don't plan on including this because they don't have to... When the ps3 is released people will still flock to the shops and buy it and they will ALL think that its the greatest thing since microwave warmed underwear!
The poor sods!
Its just like the Ps2. Give me ONE good reason why it doesn't have 4 game pad ports! ONE!

so you have to buy a multi tap..
so sony make more money..
its all clear you see..

I know that, but its the principal of the thing:)

i have the answer scorchio..... its because they are developed to help couples stick together... if they had say 3 or 4 ports, this would mean the intergration of eitheer another person (threesome) or it would mean a possible swinging session..... The PS2 is a couples console, if you want more ...... im stopping this, its utterly pointless
I dont know, its a good question tho, does anyone know teh real answer? (i think in all honesty its just another way to make even more money - so that people go out and buy teh extras.......

hence my post yeah leeboy??

well you could look at it like that or you could say its actually saving money (for the customer). if they put 4 ports, the console would be more expensive, but people like me and i bet most other people rarely play 2 player games let alone 4 player games! so why should i have to pay for what the minority want? if u want 4 ports buy the multitap.
just another way of lookin at it

@ Leeboy: LOL
Posted by SCORPIONKING1982
well no probably not but it'd cost somethin.
hell no sony would never intentionally save us money but in a roundabout way they have. they put 2 in so you have to buy the multitap (making them more money) but if you dont need/want the multitap then you dont buy it, saving you money!
as they say, if you want more you have to pay more!

On the HD thing, will it not be like the 360 there it doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has HD component output?
Posted by Xugaa
They're not stealing money,
just inviting you to pay more... lol
Posted by badgerhunter
yeah i think sony are having a good old laugh at the consumer with the price of this overpriced blue ray player really.
bit of a joke

Yeah PS3 will be expensive as all Playstations have been..
360 will drop in price to undercut and allow for competitive pricing between the two consoles. Meaning HD gaming with all new games for the 360 with the cheaper prices.. Can't ask for better than that.
Posted by badgerhunter
played the 360 for the first time the other day and had a go on Condemned.
was really impressed, couple of mates brought it over and played it in the dark haha. was just like being a kid again, some real scary parts, much better than silent hill i felt, and amazing graphics too
shame i dont have a HDTV really hehe

Hha yeah graphics are amazing even on my 21" PYE TV
The interactivity is great and Test Drive Unlimited will be a star game, it will make people put PGR3 down
Posted by lovewalrus
I guess i'm lucky enough to own a 360 and a HD TV, and have to say the graphics are awesome! PGR and GRAW are sacrily realistic in places and havin an HD TV makes all the difference!

Well, just read on wikipedia that a component video cable, such as S-video, can handle images up to 1080p, however, it isn't a true 1080p, for some various reasons, but basically, its still got HD output, just not at the real quality of a HDMI port.... I'm still gettin the 60Gb, just can't be f**ked with addons...
Cheers

Does everyone agree?
Posted by 02
u will still hv HD 1080i and 1080p the MAX HD... however u wont get the best quality possible using HDMI cable... and HDMI cable provides both video and audio signal in a single cable... tats all...
Posted by quickhippo
hehe all this is way too confusing for me
Posted by Krubach
I think those are just rumours.
I'm sure it will have an HDMI output...
What's the point of being capable of HD pic and BluRay discs if it hasn't got HDMI output?
(don't know of any other common HD output interface)
Posted by quickhippo
will the HDMI cable come with the ps3 do we reckon?
Posted by SE Rules
No guys, you're getting confused, the 20Gb PS3 definatley doesn't com e with a HDMI port, and yes that doesn't make sense considering what they're putting in them!

So overall, what is going to be the difference in quality between a modded Composite HD-AV cable, and a proper HDMI port? Because if say the difference would only be noticed with a decent high-end HD TV and surround system, then the 20Gb ain't that bad at all....
EDIT: I think I've worked it out....HD-AV does up to 1080i, and HDMI does upto 1080p....
Cheers
PS, On a HD-AV composite cable, the red and white control sound, and the yellow is video, so what do the others do, the blue, green, etc They're only meant to be used with HD TV's according to Microsoft....

Do you agree?
Posted by SE Rules
?
Posted by SE Rules
Bump!
Posted by Xugaa
It has been confirmed that ALL PS3's will both give out HD viewing, both 60GB and 20GB will.
Posted by SE Rules
Yeah, but then why don't both have HDMI, my question is what will the difference between a modded Av cable be and HDMI?
Also as mentioned above what do the green, blue etc jacks do ona modded cable compared to the standard red, yellow and white?
Cheers

I think I read that the HDMI will decide whether or not the film/DVD will be produced in HD... though I'm not sure. What I do know is that gaming for both versions will play games in HD.
