PS3 Launches Worldwide in November 2006 - console
(hx) 10:01 AM CET - Mar,15 2006 - Post a comment / read (5)
Sony Computer Entertainment just announced that it would launch Playstation 3 in early November 2006 in Japan, North America and Europe simultaneously. With a monthly production capacity of one million units, SCEI will push forward a powerful product launch to spread the platform rapidly throughout the world, together with a strong and attractive lineup of PS3 game titles.
All software will be released on the Blu-Ray format for the purpose of preventing piracy. Apparently the HDD is not necessarily standard, Sony is telling developers "develop for it (or it will not succeed)", and encouraging them to use it. The drive itself will be 60GB, upgradeable, and it will support Linux. The HDD will also act as a home media center and allow users to store various forms of media to be viewed elsewhere (similar to the Xbox360). The final development kits will ship sometime in June, Sony said.

As for backwards compatability, Sony announced that the PS3 will be 100% backwards compatible, and all PS2 titles will be displayed at high-definition resolutions (like the XBox360). Sony will also launch the PS online network with the Playstation 3. The basic service will be free, more details coming. We can assume for now that "basic service" is equivalent to the Xbox Live Silver service. The service will be run by Sony Online Entertainment. That is all the info Sony has revealed on this subject. As for price, Sony has said the unit will not cost less than 50,000.00 JP YEN. This equates to $425.607 USD.

Does not compute. Does not compute. Does not compute.

Seriously...you think there will be ANY games worth a crap just *6 months* after the developers get the final kits? Give me a break. You'll be getting PS2 games (with slightly prettier graphics) to play on your shiny new PS3. Enjoy.

And no, I'm not an xbox fanboy. I don't own a 360 either (and don't see any reason to get one for a long long time, if ever).

well i'll be getting one if it can do stuff like a mediacentre.
not for the games.. console games always bored me - but it'd be a neat addon to the lcd tv

Seems to me that you'll be getting PS2 games with better graphics for the entire life of the PS3. :)

BR use for games is just a desperate attempt at securing some sort of uniqueness. They can't compete on Gfx, Net, Controller. Hey lets sell it to the idiots buy filling a BR disc with FMV so the X360 and Rev can't do a direct port.

As for the media centre functionality. Why not just buy a laptop or PC or anything else? You're really willing to spend $500-$800 on machine you're only going to use for Movies and Music?
