PS3 Demo Unit


It may seem like PS3 development is going nowhere but Sony have once again risen up against the criticism with another stunt we weren't expecting. One ultra-lucky Tokyo retailer has already taken delivery of a first PlayStation 3 demo kiosk - a step towards the console hitting it's target of a November release. Apparently, the multi-story Yodobashi Camera outlet in Tokyo's coveted Akihabara district now has an actual (Yes, I mean real!) PlS3 unit on display.

A LCD monitor above the console shows a set of PS3 game trailers including Afrika, Genji, Heavenly Sword and Eye of Judgment.  At the moment you cannot actually play the console, but the fact that a real PS3 console has been put in the store shows that development on the Blu-ray console has been productive. Don't expect to have a PS3 demo unit in a store near you just yet though.

Looks cool

I really liked the kiosk that they had on the TGS Sony Preview event, but this one is still cool. Sucks that it's not playable, but I would still come back to watch it untill it comes out. Can't wait.

errr

why it's not playing if it's the real? I suppose they do not have the final demo :S then they should put their devs to NO SLEEP until it's done, lol. ps: I'm joking, rushing things usually make them bad ex: Xbox 360

wow a non playable ps3

isn't that wonderful. sooooooooo what's the point? Did they even start actually making the ps3 yet?

Call me a sceptic, but why place a real ps3 in a store if it is only playing videos. More likely its a mockup PS3 (PIS3 wtf?) with a dvd player attached. They should at least let people control the videos with the controller or go through XMB (what's ready of it anyhow)

by - 2006-09-29 18:14:06
no play?

intersting how its not playable. sure i can get a pretty dvd player hook it up to a tv and have awsome graphics. If sony doesnt have anything ready yet, it should wait.

oh?

"ps: I'm joking, rushing things usually make them bad ex: Xbox 360" is that why the ps2 had DRE?

Poor loosers

Look how ugly that sucky machine is, feel sorry for the poor fcks that are gonna buy it. They probably have parents that are related, like brother and sister, because only retards would buy a PS3 when there are better consols to buy

Slow day for PS3 news posts eh?

Hey, they just announced Zone of the Enders 3

Check PSM magazine, they said "News just in ZOE is back on PS3. Hideo Kojima's mad anime robot beat-'em-up has been laying low since The 2nd Runner appeared on PS2 in 2003, but Jehuty and co are back bigstyle. Koj will spill all next issue but for now we predict online mech battles on a massive scale, more mind-bending visuals and a plot so hard to comprehend and rife with twists, it makes Lost look like eastenders." PUB Konami DEV Kojima Productions ETA 2007" http://www.metalgearsolid.org/show_news.php?id=837

Well get back to me when you get out of puberty in a few years and you can afford your own consoles. And my sister/mom is giving me more ***** than you will ever see.

stfu Wii60FTW

i should blow your *****ing brains al over your wind tips you *****ing prick. Only a sick ***** like you fantasises of *****ing and marrying your sister and cousin. PS3 is amazing though this is a display one you really think they're gonna out the real one on display. it would get jack. We all want a system from a company that actually cares about the gamers not how much money they're gonna make. Only noobs like you dont know that so haha *****

Wii60FTW is just bored because he has no games to play on his Xbox360 that happens a lot when you buy a console that's worthless at doing what its supposed to do.
