Yup, The PS3 Was At E3...

At least it was in some form. For a long time now PS3 development has been handled on PS3 devkits, essentially PC parts bolted together to replicate the PS3 as close as possible, so the Inquirer's claim that PS3 demos were running on PC is a bit of a moot point. What you see below is a rack of current PS3 dev kits as they appeared at E3, at least as can be concluded from Kaz Hirai's comments that there would be PS3 games on the show floor running on "current PS3 dev kits".

Then there's the simple fact that Sony would never run their games on 360 hardware, NEVER. It's possible the third party titles (such as Assassins Creed) were running on 360's (most of them are cross platform and the 360 is more mature so it makes sense). But I repeat that Sony would never run their games on 360 hardware. Sure they were running on devkits (I have no idea whether they were final kits, but in Kaz's words at least they were "current".

So was it there or not? Well I suppose that would depend on what you call a PS3. Personally, it was there in the only way that mattered to me, I played the games that would eventually come out on the console, held the pad in my hands and that's all I needed to convince me. Consider that at the same time last year most of Microsoft's E3 demonstrations were not running on final hardware.

If you don't like the PS3, get off the PS3 site then. God, we don't need a hundred people saying it sucks all the time. Just cus your 360 or Nintendo Fans. (I have no issue with nintendo fans, but 360 *spits*)



Obviously PS3 was there. If SOny wasn't using PS3 or PS3 devkits then they would be pretty screwed at this point.

# your a newb if youGuest 2006-05-13 12:35
You’re a newb if you think any ps3 games were running on x360. It’s different hard ware, different boot up procedure, different company. A dev kit is pretty much a ps3 with the feature of being able to write/run game code. Get over it: ps3 was there and ps3 will pwn all non-believers in November.

your just a witty guy aren't ya? does little snips like that actually get you laid, or does your virtual girlfriend count as far as you looseing your virginity?



as far as halo goes, overrated. it was made better by new textures. new textures on old models and a crappy game = still a crappy game.



if it follows how part 2 was, it will suck for a campaign game, just the same crap over and over. will only be good during multiplayer.

Most ridiculous rumor ever! Psh, i can't believe people are even believing it. =P Shows how desperate the xbots are at convincing themselves that they have the superior system.



Too bad it's not true though, 'cause if there was photographic evidence, the uproar would be crazy. (photoshop experts, get to work!) =]

That is a PS3 booted up and running the XMB Interface. The actual hardware in that unit is probably not the cell and

rsx but they got the looks down pat. That could have been one of those big, loud, and ugly dev kits on that table!

Every Xbox Fanboy is stating that Sony has copied this and that, but i found pretty curious that the Xbox Controllers have A, B, Y and X just like the SNES and just not that, they are in the very same position.

U know whats funny is that the sony fanboys were just pounding on the Xbox and putting it down when it first came outand that before the ps3 was even out. I'm neutral but I can understand the 360 Fanboys gettin back at ya'll now especially with all the crap SOny is doing.

# shut upGuest 2006-05-13 19:27
everybody shut the ***** up your all fanboys, either play the systems or not your opinion is not going to change that people will buy all three systems regardless of what you say because they are just machines made by companies who are all not bothered by haters but care more about buyers, grow up neither of these companies care about you individually they think of you only as money, get a life, screw all fanboys

All you fanboys.. Just you wait till the PS3 comes out and then you will be jealous of it, and NO. I am not a fanboy for PS3 even though it is my favourite next gen console.



Anyways, this "news" was a bit silly as obviously the PS3 was at e3

You claim to not be a fanboy, yet you claim the PS3 is your favorite console. Before it's released.

# The factGuest 2006-05-14 04:59
Look E3 is over and the fact are in we know what these systems will have and will not have. All we can do do is wait see what happen. MY advice is start saving your money now. even if you plan on perusing a wii. you can by game with the rest. don't like some so what xbox360 don't look any better when looking at hard ware so what you got.

So, all of those dev kits one on top of another were just an illusion according to some of you. At 1st I could not believe that a rumor like this would even work....and then i realize that most of the people on this planet still believe that there is an INVISIBLE MAN IN THE SKY THAT KNOWS EVERYTHING. So, I see why such a rediculous rumor can keep going and going and going.

xbox fanoys i think you guys should be worried cause the only game that impressed me through out E3 was mass effect, GOW( with their cartoon like blood) and bioshock, too human looked like @ss while crack down looked like the developers were on crack when they were coding that one. fear just another port from pc to 360, looks like all microsoft 1st party is doing is concentrating on halo 3, you might say that i forgot fable 2 and forza 2 but thats like me getting excited about GT5

# PS3 will be expensive and overatedGuest 2006-05-16 07:10
ok i think for sure the ps3 sev kit was there running demos. However it is not the complete ps3 that will come out in november. Honestly who is going to dish out 600$ to get the good version then buy a 60 to 70$ game and another 50$ for a new dual shock controller. Also u might have to pay for the online service cuz in the press anouncement he never said anything about gamming free. It could just be like Xbox live silver. In all dont expect too much from the ps3 at launch. There wont be enough games to play and the ones they do have wont be done with the graphics most people are expecting from a next gen console. They 360 and the ps3 will look the same and the ps3 will definitley not be running any game on 1080i. Just becasue it can go that high doesnt mean the game will be designed that way. Also whats this about 7 controllers. How come no one ever talks about the fact that the ps3 will have 7 controllers playbale at one time????

The PSP is the same way as far as games and what the damn thing is worth.
