More PS3 Details Revealed? |

Jak_The_Man, An active member from US Playstation forums, has posted a short article after reading the latest PlayStation Magazine. The information contained is very interesting...
- PS3 will have online service that goes beyond Xbox live
- PS3 will be a DVR (Digital Video Recorder)
- It will be able to connect with the PSP
- There are a lot of games being worked on for it right now in the US (a lot more then what people know about)
- The final PS3 dev kit is a lot faster than they thought (according to the developer)
- The PS3 will have an iTunes type service to let you download Hi-Def movies, music, etc
- The PS3 will take the media center functionality the 360 has even further
- PS3 will serve as a location free player for the PSP, means you can watch the DVD’s that you have in your PS3 on your PSP (from anywhere in the world), or any other video files you have on your ps3, though this is still only being planned.
- PS3 will be able to send its files straight to the PSP from anywhere in the world, and it can also control its DVR functionalities
- Firmware updates will add more functionality, much like with the PSP
- The Blu-ray Player functionality doesn't cost as much as a stand alone player because the Cell and RSX can take care of a lot of the stuff the PS3 will need to do to be able to read the disks
- Fall release date for PS3, no release date for online service, but expected to launch with the system
If all the items mentioned above are true, I should say that worths the wait! But wait... the price was still not mentioned...

Sony has finally found a nearly fool-proof way of making mod-chips useless. I guess we cant thank the PSP as being the test subject for this constant firmware update. I know the xbox had firmware updates but they were pointless and didnt accomplish anything.
DVR, Blue-Ray, PS3 games, if they price it at 500 bucks its still a bargain.

I thought it was obvious that they would have these firmware updates for the PS3. They may find a way to eventually bypass all this firmware stuff thourgh a good modchip, remember the PSP is a lot different to create a mod-chip for than the PS3.
Overall I think I will probably wont be able to enjoy the firmware updates that much (since most of the features will be online stuff)due to my slow connection speed of 20kpbs (yeah slower than a 56k modem). And I am sure they will make the developers have their firmware update on each game...which can be good and bad...it all depends on what you want to do with your system.

"Out of the three major manufacturers, Sony's been either the best or worst about releasing info about its next-gen console -- it depends who you ask. As you might recall, its pre-release claims for the PlayStation 2 and its "Emotion Engine" processor were outlandish and extreme. "You can communicate to a new cybercity," PlayStation creator Ken Kutaragi told Newsweek. "Did you see the movie The Matrix? Same interface. Same concept. Starting from next year, you can jack into The Matrix!" Ridiculous, of course, but lots of people ate it up in 2000. "

Of course, having it automatically update itself would probably introduce a new set of problems, namely backwards compability. A newer firmware might break older games for the same system...
I was initially going to get a PS3 when it first came out, but after reading this I think I will wait and see for a while first.

I suggest your guys hold on to your money until we actually see a working console. Otherwise, all this fantisizing and hyping will only get the better of you.
