On today's PlayStation Business Brief '2006, Sony has revealed quite some more details of the upcoming PS3. Here they are:
  • PS3 will be the first Next-Gen console with the HDMI video interface.
  • All the PS3 games will be on the Blu-ray disc for anti-piracy purpose.
  • The development machine and development kit is now finished.
  • The network service of the PS3 will basically be free, and will be deployed with the release of the console.
  • The CELL processor will be able to implement the 4th dimension (the time???)
  • PS3 will come with a 2.5' 60G HDD as a standard specification.
  • The OS of the PS3 will be Linux.
  • The network service of the PS3 will be in co-operation with GameSpy.
  • PS/PS2 games will be fully supported, plus with much better resolution.
  • Sony will be replenishing the market with 1 million PS3 per month after the release.
Very interesting facts to learn. But still, the delay is the fact we have to accept now. The PS3 is officially delayed from this spring to the November of 2006, for a global release among Asia, North America and Europe.

# No delay for EuropeArwin 2006-03-15 03:10
If we get the release on time, and it's looking good, then if anything the European launch will be sooner than expected. The U.S. release was never certain but September at best, so that's only 2 months delay. So in the end, the only delay is for Japan, and those few who might have managed to get one through import.



In the meantime, the boatload of games info we'll get on E3 should tide us over a fair bit. By then we'll probably also start hearing the final specs, and we'll have all that Revolution gossip to deal with too. It will be interesting to see the two launch at around the same time. Should create a fair bit of fuss.

This is tottally ausome. I knew the PS3 would easily beat the xbox360, but i didn't think it would crush it! I mean 60gb HDD!!!! That a hell of a lot of memory and for somthing only 2.5inches. And the online service is going to be free and as good as the xbox live! It totally ausome!!! And i can still use my old gamespy account! I love sony for everything! The deley disapointed me but when I learned all the details about it today i wuz amazed and now i just can't wait!

# dude..Shatterdome 2006-03-15 05:22
Dude...gamespy != xbox live....gamespy is one of the worst pieces of software i've come accross and would much rather use a developers in game matching system rather then it.



Oh yeah, and laptops have been using 2.5 inch HD's for a very long time now, so is the xbox360 oh my!! you made it sound so special because sony was using it...



geez,anyways now I can officially say "I told you so..." to those people that beleived in the spring launch still

:P

and yeah can I get the biggest communal ***GROAN*** in the world....it can interpret the 4th dimension ? Mmm hmm....wow it's a time machine as well as a BD player, wicked...but I bet it taps the 4th dimension as well as ps2 renders realtime cg that looks like toy story...

I just want to point something out:

"I knew the PS3 would easily beat the xbox360, but i didn't think it would crush it!"

Saying the word "would" implies the past tense. PS3 has just finished dev. All I gotta say is that Sony hasn't done ANY crushing with PS3 yet. Keep that kind of talk tucked away for now.

"The OS of the PS3 will be Linux."



I think I might turn into a Sony fanboy.

# would/will, there's a meaning in therecomedy 2006-03-15 06:22
this is absolutely the best news i've ever heard! though the release for japan is later i had always assumed us poor bastards in the uk would be shafted and would have to wait until 2007 for the ps3 (and i was not going to import).



with 60gig hdd as standard i'm very happy, yes the best 2.5 inch drives are now 160gigs but i think 60 is enough to be getting on with.



linux as os... that's crazy! sony and their 'firmware updates' will be almost useless, people can make homebrew for linux so easily. in a way it's a clever way to combat nintendo's little downloadable back catalogue, cos we can just run n64 emulators on the ps3... i hope.



the 4th dimension... lol... great it will have a clock.



even though the news is showing a delay in ps3 i'm overjoyed... and coupled with the news about psp i think i'm going to have a heart attack... and what with this being the last day of lectures so i'm officially on holiday, i'd say this is almost the best day of my life

# hmmmEzekiel Xz 2006-03-15 06:52
rofl 4th dimension, what will sony come up with next to make thier console sound better. Im not sure about the network either, if its just a network hosted by gamespy its nower near going to be a xbox live beater like they suggested. Some of the stuff like the hard disk and the release date is next. But im still don't buy into the hype.

I'm not sure if M$ should make Live completely free. I do think they should allow the old Xbox games to be played free through silver. I don't care about the delay anymore, I need time to save up some money anyway, and I'm sure a lot of other people do too.

# wow soz bad boyrider2k5 2006-03-15 09:56
Shatterdome wow soz u ***** i didnt think u were such an expert. Here i am praising sony and there u r completely ripping me. dude i know that laptops and xbox wuz usin 2.5'' but i wuz buzzin at the fact that a console has 60gb of space much more than any other console. And if u dont like what sony is doing with the online service then dont get it. In fact dont get the *****ing ps3 cuz u dont seem to be praising it. Your jsut a saddo who has nothing better to do than critise people. And it people like you who will get yourself in trouble cuz u cant keep your mouth shut.

# is the delay a surprise?Vecha 2006-03-15 13:31

# OMG!Vicktor_(BLACK) 2006-03-15 18:48
does this mean that the ps3 will come with this 60gb hard drive right out of the package i cant believe it it also comes with internal wifi so i wouldnt have to connect my ps3 directly to my router. and i could stream its content to my psp. also could someone explain 4d. i mean if im looking at a person in real life i could only see 3 sides of them. also for coward's question free mmorpg's depends on the developer

# How can sony say the ps3 will have it?Vecha 2006-03-16 18:00
The devs who make up the game decide if characters age....

Unless they prove me wrong, which i doubt, but hey i'll be just as happy about it as the next guy.

# A Total Xbox KillerVietone 2006-03-18 16:23
Gamespy totally kills xboxlive in every category. I use gamespy, been a member for years and its a great service for PC games. If the PS3 uses the same system as PCs then it would not only be better but much more stable. No more having an xbox host a server and everyone connect to it, just connect to a dedicated server. This means better server performance and more players.



I dont doubt PS3 games will support 64+ players like PC games do.



Linux as an OS was a shocker to me. They really are putting out great potential for homebrew if they allow access.



60GB is insane. Im willing to replace that with a 120Gb drive in the future.



This will totally shatter the record that the PS2 has in sales.

# 60GB insane?Vicktor_(BLACK) 2006-03-20 17:32
are u saying that is too little or a very good amount?, personally i thinks its great beacause my Dell Demension 2400 pc only has 33.3 Gb and are ypu sure this gamespy is a good online service i have no experience with it.
