Other PS3 stuff you might like to know |
Ó
With 23 compiled facts about the PS3 presented last October, how much more info do we need about Sony's console (apart from where we can get them, right?). Well, looks like Engadget had been putting their PS3 through its paces, and/or ringing up Sony for a few FAQs, to come up with this other list of PS3 facts you might like to know. Or not. But hey, like Sun Tsu says, know thyself and the other guy, kick a** in a hundred battles, right? So here's what Engadget found out about the PS3.
- Console's cool - or at least warm to the touch - on every surface after "plenty of gameplay."
- In side-by-side tests with the Xbox 360, the PS3 runs "virtually silent."
- USB keyboards and mice are plug-and-play! No support for Bluetooth keyboards and mice at launch, though.
- But "Any (A2DP) Bluetooth headset should theoretically work with the system, though Sony will have a recommended hardware list."
- The EyeToy family is (maybe currently) the only USB webcam that will work with the PS3. First-gen EyeToys (for the PS2) should work with the PS3.
- No voice or picture messages can be left on the Playstation Network, only text messages
- Currently no plans for VGA out on PS3
- The system will not support more than seven controllers. (Then again, neither will your living room couch, right?).
- There are no plans for a cheaper, wired version of the SIXAXIS (At least from Sony, we think).
- With its media playback software, players can have customized in-game soundtracks (cool! a PS3 Ace Combat to Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone"! Tom Cruise singing not included).
- Some titles can have game files installed on the HDD to speed up loading - but we knew that already.
- "The (HDD) can be upgraded, although not on any official basis (read: YMMV, do so at your own risk, you may void warranty, etc.)" (Break out the screwdrivers!).
- And finally, "Despite rumor, Sony insists the US is still officially targeted for a 400k unit launch; Japan is still set for a mere 80k. Sony execs are actually expecting an upturn in unit production before launch, so those numbers may actually go up."

you don't void the warranty by replacing the hdd. It's removable. Stupid qj.net.
That'll be nice if they have that happen, but atleast with them saying stuff like that it doesn't sound like they'll undershoot their mark. Hurray warm secure feeling!
Which would make the bullet point a DIRECT QUOTE from the source, not our opinion or something? I could always say "Who's the dumb one now?" but I'm not, because I'm presuming you missed out on those " " for one reason or another. So I'll just do the polite thing and point you to them. Go back and read that bullet point again CAREFULLY.
