Hardcore pr0n - Image 1Hardcore pr0n - Image 2


Some of you might be having seizures and Sony-gasms by just these first two pics above. This is as hardcore as internet pr0n gets! Here's IGN's boxed prototype of the PS3 - the actual retail packaging can be seen here - and they're taking us every step of the way as they unpack the holiest of grails.

One by one, the contents are revealed. PS3 console: check. Controller: check. USB cord: check. AV cable, LAN cable, power cable: check, check, check. Err.. but what's that other cable on the lower right (of the top-left pic)? Is it the HDMI cable? But wasn't it said that it was to come separately? If it is the HDMI, maybe it was just a complimentary freebie. And of course, the team also got copies of some launch titles: Lair, Genji: Days of the Blade, Resistance: Fall of Man, and two MotorStorms.

Bah! Less talking, more ogling!

what's with the copied games in the pics?

 » not final

most games are burned on regulard discs prior to actual shipping. when i worked at Activision and Square, we went through new burns of games on a weekly basis. the PS3 ships in about 3 and a half weeks, i expect the final discs for the launch titles are being stamped as we speak. it takes at least 2 weeks to make the discs, and one week to package and ship them all to retailers (including printing final instruction booklets and boxart).

Doesn't it look kind of way too big? It's even wider than that man arm :o. I don't know who will actually put that PS3 on 'stand mode' xD

hmm the games are not final thus on BD-R's but does it mean that the PS3 wont have problems playing burnt discs? unlike the ps2.

Please stop referring to hardware "innards" as pornography.

It's juvenile at best, and hardly funny.

It's like a fart joke. Sure, it's funny. Until your 10. Then you have better outlets of humor.

Did YOU laugh when you saw the headline?

Didn't think so.

Point in case:

 » They arent burned

Those are not burned games. They are special versions of games called review copies. yes they look burned, but they are pre-release pressed games for the media.

Like you said. And besides only the test ps3 's can read those. A normal ps3 can 't read that. It 's the same like with ps2 review disk (they looked blue like the opm demos).

 » Is this a mistake?

"And of course, the team also got copies of some launch titles: Lair, Genji: Days of the Blade, Resistance: Fall of Man, and two MotorStorms."


I thought that Lair and Motorstorm were no longer launch titles. Can someone please clear this up for me?

 » ALL Disks are Recordable.

ALL CD/DVD/HD DVD/ Blue-ray disks are recordable disk.

Its just that when burned they use different booktypes to show its a CD-R/DVD-R HD DVD-R BD-R or just the same without the R.

Games get burned with a special burner. Its special enough that it can burn data that cant be read from a normal DVD drive. thats why burned games dont work on un-modded systems besides the dreamcast.

You can buy silver bottom CD-Rs, Gold Bottom DVD-Rs and the such and burn to them with normal burners. But the difference is the machine used to burn them, if someone by chance got one of the sony production burners, they could use regular DVD-Rs that you buy in stores to burn games that work on a un-modded PS2.

The only difference between what IGN was sent and retail, is they used regular medium and didnt print any label on it.

 » Soo fake

That is soo fake, Xbox360 is way shinier and better. 360 has so much better graphics than ps3. Who cares about stupid games like metal gear solid 4 and Resistance fall of man.

 » Childish Haughty People!!!!

that Zarthur kid is insecure to look at the ps3 site in the first place!! I wonder why?? Are you scared of the competition? Are you bored with you 360? Are you amazed that the ps3 is the reality, it's real and it got evey bit of tech to top the xbox 360??? As far as i know this thing is sexy. and still smart. So shiny!!!!
I really hate people who assume when things are fake!!! WHY you dumb kids who do say that only say it because you have never seen iti done so you automaticly assume it's FAKE!!!! STFU SOME OF YOU 12yr olds are really A WAIST OF SPERM!!!

 » i got my ps3 already from japan

i got the 499 version from japan and it does come with an HDMI. Even check on the PS3's website and it'll show you. The ps3 has a menu just like the psp with internet browser, movies, music, games, settings, and an online community for free. so it kicks microsoft in the butt, 'cause it's way better and the graphics are in 1080p!

 » HDMI

The lead in the bottom-right is a US power lead. I believe the PS3 has a multi-voltage power board like an LCD TV, so it will work with any mains power straight out of the box.

The Japanese PS3 is out 11th November and neither model will come with an HDMI lead, there or anywhere else, unless Sony does a special bundle.
