And some news!

Ps3 will support keyboard and mouse for internet. News to me anyway.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I really don' t like the menu but i think a lot of people seem to like it so....also is the button in the midle infact a guide button then?.

I' d say so, what else? Everyone is doing one this gen

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

We saw this at E3. We even discussed it here. I still think that while it looks sleek there' s way too much free space.

You' re not MAJIK!!! You' re Saberwulf!! Where' s Majik? What have you done with

It is empty, and honestly i prefer it simple. I hope you can add a background wallpaper to it though like you can supposedly do with a psp (not having used one much). Also if you look at ps2, it is pretty empty too, nothing much to look at.

Oh well, so long as it works..

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

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.

I hope that there is no cruel fate of irony on launch day for you Uumai.

Wait.... hold on..

As for getting back on topic, Sony' s gone for the minimalist approach
with this (Where as everything else is in huge proportions, mostly numbers)

I just hope it is easy to navigate, does anyone know if the PS3 comes with custom soundtracks? I had a glitch on my 360 today, where it played custom
soundtracks on my old X-box games.. Yayay!!

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

Why does the menu screen look almost exactly alike to the PSP' s menu?

Why cant wii be friends with 360?

Lack of imagination?

I think custom soundtracks will be a given. I expect a complete clone of Live with additional features thrown in. What i also expect is for Xbox Live to change and for Microsoft to take the fight to Sony adding new features (web browser/true mouse + keyboard support) and making Gold free.

The PSP' s menu can get really frustrating, having to cycle through 100' s of things to find what you want (say an image or video), so i hope they can improve upon it. Anybody expecting a fully working version of Linux will be disappointed.

its a console not a pc.

It may be as powerfull as one, but really, when it comes down to it, Dirty Harry wants an easy to understand and simle interface, he cant understand those os.

Why does the menu screen look almost exactly alike to the PSP' s menu?

Because according to sony, you' re going to be using both of those as media hubs, so it makes sense that the two look the same. I think they expect the two to interact alot, so they want to keep things unified. Not a bad idea really.

take the fight to Sony adding new features (web browser/true mouse + keyboard support) and making Gold free.

I' d love for gold to be free. Although it doesn' t matter much right now, seeing as my 360 won' t connect to the net on my current router.

my first post has been updated with some cool new info I found today - check it.

Yeah I had read the article on IGN about the noise and heat. Sounds positive, but compared to what? Would be nice if they had said... it' s about as noisy/quiet as a (insert console name here)

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

well at least it' s clear now that it won' t be significantly loud and it won' t heat that much.That' s what 360 fanboys loved about pre-final devkits :)

It seems that PS3 could surprise everyone since we all have such low expectations since last E3.

I wonder how this whole thing will end :)

sounds great. Too bad they dont have a video of them playing it.

I hate noise, but if its as good as they say, thats fantastic news.

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!!

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

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.

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.

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

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.

isnt there a lag when bringing up the 360 menu?
