Fornay radio interview translation |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: playstation 3 updates, Sony
Ó
- Fornay definitely said that the console will include a 60GB HD, with no mention of this being optional
- And secondly, the part which brings a bit of ambiguity to the issue, Fornay did say that the PS3 would cost around €500 - but this was in response to the question by the journalist, who asked "will the console be around $500?".
Extract, in french:
Georges Fornay :"Vous allez avoir un disque dur de 60 Go dans la machine"
(...)
Journaliste: "Une question que se pose les joueurs, c'est le prix de cette console, on voit des chiffres qui circulent régulièrement sur le Net, 500$ selon la rumeur, on est proche de la réalité ou on s'en éloigne ?"
Geogres Fornay: "Ben écoutez, si on prend l'aspect BluRay, HD, on parle de lecteurs BluRay à 1 000 euros et plus donc elle sera extrêmement bon marché quand on regarde cet aspect, quand on regarde l'aspect jeu c'est vrai que aujourd'hui les consoles de jeux avaient plutôt un prix bien en dessous de 500 euros, je dirais que l'on sera dans cette fourchette, elle sera chère pour la partie jeu vidéo et extrêment bon marché quand on regardera l'ensemble des technologies qu'elle intègre."
Arnaud Dury's translation in english:
Georges Fornay : "You will have a 60 GB harddisk in the machine"
(...)
Journalist: "Players are asking for the console price, we see figures that regularly appear on the Net, $500 according to the rumour. Are we close to the reality or are we getting farther away ?"
Georges Fornay : "Well, listen, if we take in to account BluRay, HD, we see BluRay player's retailing at 1000 euros or more, it (the PS3) will be extremely cheap when compared to this aspect ; and when we look at the game aspect, it is true that today consoles are generally well below 500 euros, I would say that we will be in this price range, it will be costly for a game console and extremely cheap when we look at the technologies it will integrate"
A big thanks to Arnaud Dury for this translation!

and Blu-Ray will be just fine for games, it will just have the same read speed as DvD drives, so the load times wont be that different.
but i agree, they are focusing too much on the marketing potential for a Blu-Ray device rather than the gamer in making an affoardable gaming platform.
*sigh* it goes perfectly with my theory:
Sony is 99% marketing, and 1% Other.
