Hardcore pr0n: the PS3 box contents are divulged

Posted Oct 24, 2006 at 3:08PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: HDMI, Sony

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!

# HDMI Cable to Come with Premium Model — Guest 2006-10-24 11:41

As found via a simple google search: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3

Awesome news, and freakin great pictures.

# Hmm??? — nightshade15 2006-10-24 12:18

Wow, there are MOAR cables to shake a stick at?

And why do those BluRay discs just look...Copied?

Rather an Official discs?

# lol what is that PS/ run verbatim BR-D — Guest 2006-10-24 12:35

lol nice we hack psp now they show us we can copies ps3 game but write Br-D $$$$ :/

# huge — Guest 2006-10-24 12:40

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

# BD-R? — hush404 2006-10-24 13:11

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.

# ? — Guest 2006-10-24 13:33

probably a tweaked firmware to allow it...

# :) — Guest 2006-10-24 13:48

*orgasm, one big digital orgasm*

# Please, QJ — Guest 2006-10-24 13:59

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.

# uuh... — milkman 2006-10-24 14:11

first of all, the IGN guys refered to it as porn...QJ just took it...

Second, i sent in the is news tip (i even put in a comment about how I didn't know what that cable was....)

Thanks QJ...thanks...

# hack 4 the ps3 in 8 weeks — Guest 2006-10-24 14:43

can any one say prototype firmware hack

sony can you make any easyer to run copys of games

i give it 8 10 weeks b4 you can d,l a prototype firmware hack

I got an Idea lets show ppl the prototype firmware running copy games DUH !

# They arent burned — Guest 2006-10-24 15:33

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.

# not final — Figboy 2006-10-24 19:10

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).

# mike8519 — Guest 2006-10-24 20:11

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).

# :) — Guest 2006-10-24 23:10

come on thats a BR RW disk ive got BR burner at work we use them disks ffs

# Is this a mistake? — Guest 2006-10-25 00:41

"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. — Vietone 2006-10-25 01:28

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.

# Pedants — Guest 2006-10-25 01:58

If you're going to be unfunny and pedantic, please learn the use of the words "your"and "you're"

# Soo fake — Guest 2006-10-25 02:28

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.

# hmmmm...hack? — Guest 2006-10-25 03:58

i can see it now.....everyone praising the ps3 before it comes out. PS3 owns! blah blah..... then someone comes out with a hack......then all of a sudden.... i hate sony!! sony sucks!!

# hteman — Guest 2006-10-25 05:54

that is very phenominal

# your new name and I.D. tag. — Guest 2006-10-25 08:04

I.D. 100000001

Get back into your cage.

# Childish Haughty People!!!! — Guest 2006-10-25 12:35

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!!!

# . — Guest 2006-10-25 13:18

Dear Nameless Assclown,

Please get a sense of humor.

Thank you, Jesus H. F. Christ

# i got my ps3 already from japan — Guest 2006-10-25 14:27

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!

# xbox sucks — Guest 2006-10-25 15:54

if u hate sont wtf are u doing on this form and btw u motha aint ***** xboxmofo

# lol — Guest 2006-10-25 23:55

wow ur a bad liar... ps3 doesn't come out, even in japan, until november 17th... nice try, though...

# I'm sorry? — Guest 2006-10-26 16:15

Did YOU laugh when you saw the headline?

Didn't think so.

Point in case:

It's juvenile at best, and hardly funny.

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

Wow, did I just repeat myself? That does seem to be the case.

# HDMI — Guest 2006-11-04 23:23

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.

# ps3 — missymoo91 2010-02-03 13:12

hiya :) i have just got a ps3 second hand and it came with console (obviously) controller the plug cable bit the usb to charge controller and the red, white and yellow lead cable. Am I missing anything because the console doesnt seem to be connecting to any of the t.vs in my house :S
