saw this article. no surprise really.
Sony chief warns PS3 will be "expensive"
Last week at Sony Computer Entertainment's PlayStation Meeting in Japan, company president Ken Kutaragi appeared on stage to discuss further information on the current status of the PlayStation 3.
Kutaragi started out by reconfirming that the PS3 will be backwards-compatible with PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games and support high-definition TVs. "We're looking at a life cycle of 10 years with the PlayStation 3. We're currently shifting from standard TVs to HD TVs," said Kutaragi. "But in the next couple of years, most flat-panel TVs will be full HD. We're releasing the PS3 with full HD features from the start so that consumers won't have to buy another version of the console in the future. For the same reason, we're using Blu-ray as the PS3's disc format."
"I'm aware that with all these technologies, the PS3 can't be offered at a price that's targeted towards households. I think everyone can still buy it if they wanted to," said Kutaragi to a mostly Japanese crowd. "But we're aiming for consumers throughout the world. So we're going to have to do our best (in containing the price)."
Then Kutaragi issued a somewhat ominous warning. "I'm not going to reveal its price today. I'm going to only say that it'll be expensive," he stated......

just saw this on www.megagames.com people:
Following E3 most of us thought we knew that Spring 2006 would be the launch date for the PS3 but none of us were sure we knew that it was. Now a new image helps us know that what we knew is now true; PS3 will really launch in spring 2006.
The image, available in full size by following the screens tab above, apparently taken from Playstation Meeting 2005 shows a PowerPoint slide that has some key moments on the road to the launch of PS3. According to the slide this spring that just passed saw the launch of the PS3 evaluation system, we are not quite sure what that was but we have already sent our complaints to Sony for not sending us one here at MegaGames.
The slide does seem to confirm that Sony will have to settle for a spring 2006 release date for PS3 even though some were thinking that the Japanese electronics giant may have been trying to push the launch as close to Q1 2006 as possible. If the slide is the real deal then Microsoft will get at least a four month advantage over Sony's next-generation offering, provided XBox 360 does launch around November 4, 2005 as expected.
The authenticity of the slide has come into question however, with some claiming that the there are some things wrong with the image, especially the perspective of the letters and their clarity. If this is a fake image it may be just another attempt to bring the PS3 into the spotlight and may still leave hope intact for Sony fans hoping their manufacturer of choice will time its launch a bit closer to that of x360.

I dont know why,i like the look of the new Ps3 controller,and i was talking to a guy who has a 360,yet again,saying that its controller is too big.
Sony should stick to what they showed in the first place and not let people dictate what it should be like,as most have only seen pics of it.
Dual shock 2 is nice,but i think the next gen controller should be smaller,and lighter

360 controller is not bad not the smallest but it doesnt slip out of the hands. i am wanting a ps3 but still dont understand why no online community we are in the 2000's do you guys not get bored playing single player all the time? i will pre order the ps3 but online even cross platform would be the main thing for me. wonder if sony's security will be as good as microsofts on modding. only time will tell |
