Tying up lose ends on the ps3 - Blu-ray Forum

Gamekid · 08-13-2006, 04:36 AM

On ps3land.com, there is an article that talks about Sony making two annoucements for the ps3. I think that one of them will be about the online network for the ps3, but I don't know what the other annoucement will be about. Something we don't already know about the ps3. The annoucements will be made at the Tokoyto Game Show this September. Any guesses on the annoucements?

I think the other announcement may have to do with the mystery device for transfering ps1 or ps2 memory cards to the hard drive.

A suprise announcement that the $499 PS3 will indeed include an HDMI port.

Or maybe a suprise announcement stating that price will be $399 and $499 for the lower and high end respectively. Ok, I'm dreaming on this one.

We won't know until later, but with all the crisitism that Sony has received from Sony haters, maybe they will lower prices on the console packages. We'll have to wait and see.

I doubt the decision makers at Sony ever visit any forums!

If you never visited a forum, so never saw some of the pros and cons that get debated about different bits of kit, would it matter? Not one bit. I'd still probably go for the PS3 over a 360.

The main reason for visiting a forum is for snippets of news that I may have missed elsewhere or to answer a question. The trouble is you end up expecting new information every time you visit, and that just doesn't happen.

The only loose ends left for PS3, for me, are:

Blu-ray and DVD playback abilities/quality
PSP connectivity
Media storage options (my own photos, music, etc)
How much the accessories will cost (2nd controller, etc)

We should know pretty soon. Only 14 weeks till the UK launch! WOW!
