The chaps over at the unofficial Playstation magazine

PSM have gotten their hands on one of the first Playstation 3 retail ed period of time. Here's a bit:

1) It's quiet like a sleeping baby. A barely audible hum. With the TV on you simply can't hear it at all.
2) It's heavy like a planet. No, really.

haha, after all your 360 proclaiming....

Although i must say it's hard to know when your just shitting on PC.

PS. I wonder if the editor who said she won't be buying one has changed her mind.

I sure as hell would change my mind if I needed to - just look at it how shiny and smooth it is...

There are few people who can resist something so shiny and smoth!

Haha, if I was gonna get a Xbox 360 only don't you think I would have bought one already? Geeez. I am waiting to see what a PS3 is gonna be like before I commit. What's the rush I can play one right now literally anytime I want? Hell, there is a good chance I'll buy both systems and still save money compared to a PC. Cripes sakes, a video card for a PC is the cost of an Xbox 360... roflmao! Can't wait for PS3... From what I have heard and read recently it's gonna give Xbox a real run for it's money.

ROFL safer! Its true, but its ok, its just like a mac. It sounds great..then you find out there is little 3rd party software support and even less stores that carry anything for a mac.

But hey, communism sounds great too. haha

But seriously, my dad will probably end up getting it so he can play his Madden and Nascar. And I will probably pick out a few games for it, and just wait for everything to price drop.

BTW, if you have an oppurtunity to pick up a Dreamcast, you should! Unless you alreayd have one. So many great CHEAP games for it. Last two nights, me and my friends couldn't stop ourselves from playing 3 hours of Tennis 2k2! Soooo good!

Well - I did breifly own a Mac. And it was shiny - but not shiny enough so I gave it a way to a friend of mine who seems to enjoy his blockbuster abilities to... do tings associated to Appel(?).

I didn't know what to do with it - it was shiny and so but... bot enough...

Yet I enjoyed the OSX interface. Smile

I owned a macbook for about 2 weeks before returning it. I mostly returned it because it didn't have a video card. I already own a S460 notebook from Sony, and that is the same size, a little lighter, and has a real video card. And oh yeah, runs something that can play games. The macbook quickly went from being my favorite new thing to being something extra I had to carry around all the time with my sony to get the best of both worlds. When all the mac was, was a compromise, and a bunch of work arounds. I mostly wanted it because I use some dj software that is supposed to run better on it. ~shrugs~ It seemed to run it just about the same as my vaio. It seems like to me the whole apple thing (ipod aside) is just a bunch of empty advertising (and to an extent, the ipod is too). And whenever I went into the store it was like a bunch of cultists trying to get people to convert with their smiles and fancy colors. My biggest gripe with the macbook is the fact that I have to use so many different short cuts keys to get between programs and windows. It was really annoying since I am using shortcut keys all the time like alt-tab and ctrl-tab. Where in mac you have you cmd-tab, ctrl-tab, and cmd- ~ if I recall correctly. It was annoying since in windows its either one or the other. But I do got to say that OS X is shiny, and a neat operating system, but I didn't like how I couldn't open up a window to the full size of my screen without having the bottom popup stuff come up. Widgets are nice, but they can be found for windows. Double finger scrolling is a much welcomed thing to windows laptops (if it ever happens, which is should).

When it came to software, I had such an easter egg hunt looking for stuff, it just became compromise after compromise, as I said. Installing programs the way you do on a mac is kewl, but it takes away a lot of configuration options and possibilities for creating your own personal work arounds when programs are being stupid.

Yeah, when people realize that a 12" powerbook isn't still worth over a 1000$ I will probably pick it up for my Serato Software. As it is supposed to be rock solid on that, versus the macbook. So, who knows. If I wanted a hassle, I would just install linux on all of my systems and call it a day. lol
