They call it the " lack of noise and heat" so it sounds very promising.I hope PS3 will be just as silent as this devkit.

But seriously if they want to sell it as a high end equipment it can' t be loud or hot like any cheap ass PC

Yes they can! They are Sony and they can do anything!!

If it doesn' t get as hot or run as noisy as 360 (which isn' t even as bad as Dreamcast for noise) then it' s a bonus and Sony' s push to get more fans in the case to keep the thing cool (and thus lower the chances of potential crashes) will have paid off.

I' m more interested in the OS' s memory usage and the affect it' ll have on developers. I don' t mind the minimalist approach but this is a machine you' re supposed to use with huge high definition displays. Having so much free space just seems like a waste.

I' ve always suspected that some of the space will be used for advertizements to offset the cost of having free online play and maintaining their servers but i guess we' ll find out soon enough.

Hmm I think that the reason why the menus are so small with so much free space is probably because you' ll be able to look at the menus during gameplay or movie/music playback. Like on the PSP, if you press the Home or Select button while listening to music you can browse the menus while the music is still on.
A small menu makes it possible to watch movies or play videogames and simultaneously browse the menus without getting lots of stuff in the way. If the menus where big you wouldn' t see anything of the entertainment. And we all hate pausing stuff don' t we?
Maybe, I don' t know, but it would make sence.

isnt there a lag when bringing up the 360 menu?

You guys what does kaz mean by this?:

Kaz Hirai has brought some clarification to the Playstation 3 manufacturing debacle. As it is, Kaz Hirai told Gamespot that they have not yet started manufacturing the Playstation 3 yet. It appears that Sony is still fine tuning their final plans ahead of their launch date later this year.

Next-Gen.biz


" We haven' t started manufacturing [the PS3] yet. Some of our ops guys were actually just in China, and also in Japan just reviewing the [production] lines and everything else. But they are, again, preparing as we speak to get the manufacturing going. We' ve not announced and we haven' t set really a specific date to say, ' As of this day we' re going to start manufacturing.' "

[...]


" Since we' re going with three territories, we haven' t really come up with an allocation just yet," he said. " But even if you do the simple math you' re talking about less than 700,000 units per territory, per major territory between launch and the end of the year. So even if there was some fluctuation--you give Japan more, you give the US more, what have you--you' re going to end up with some shortages."

There is no lag when you bring up the 360 menu.
However if something is loading and you bring it up it will lag for a second or two.

then it' s a bonus and Sony' s push to get more fans in the case to keep the thing cool (and thus lower the chances of potential crashes) will have paid off.

yeah , but it' s Sony and the only thing that doesn' t run hot and doesn' t make too much noise is the devkit.It could still be loud in the retail version.

Hmm I think that the reason why the menus are so small with so much free space is probably because you' ll be able to look at the menus during gameplay or movie/music playback.

That sounds great.
