PS3: Now and then |
Listed in: PS3 Tags: playstation 3 updates, Sony
Much has been said about the PS3. Be it good or bad press, no one could debunk that this game console is one of the most talked about machines of 2006, heck it occupied three spots in that Yahoo Buzz log. And that's just Yahoo, we haven't even scratched the surface yet since it's just one of the many search engines around.
Anyhow, time passed by like a blink. It seem like only yesterday that we we're dishing out one of the many early captures of the PS3 and now it's here and we have to update our firmwares. So for kicks, let's take a trip down memory lane when we were still second guessing about the PS3 (oh shoot, there are still some people second-guessing about it).
Someone over at TekkenFan posted some now and then pictures of the PS3. From the time that it was just a shiny, silver thingamajig up to now when it seems like the PS3 is living up to the hype. Anyhow, here are the 2005 and 2006 pics, feel free to share your sentiments in the comments section below.

and my PS3 looks more like a cheese from swiss!
in 2005 the hardware wasn't made.
It was soooo clear that the hardware didn't fit into this small case.
if you know some geometry you would agree with me that the inner volume of the case now is ~the 1,5x of the PS3 in 2005.

yeah everyone knows ideas and features get cut as price and other factors dictate... but why couldn't sony of been even the slightest bit realistic? sony knew half the big features would be dropped and they couldn't meet the target renders...
it was all mega hype to steal the 360's thunder, "lets pack in features that will never make it, and show CG videos we can't come close to and get everyone to wait for our system"
so we end up getting a system only marginally better, and not even when it comes to gaming. it really only shines when classed as multimedia pc that happens to play console games. i mean come on what else can you load linux on right out of the box?
this isn't a fanboy rant, no i don't have one, and yes i want one. i'm just sick of being played like a pawn by corporations, i'm a good consumer and damnit i deserve to be treated with respect. announcing that the ps3 doesn't meet it's 100% backward compatibility goal with either previous PS system ON LAUNCH DAY, is so wrong it borders on criminal.

20 and 60 Gig versions? As far as a developer is concerned, they're still identical systems (ex: Both have a built-in hard drive, high capacity disks, same CPU and GPU, HDMI port, etc), so you don't have to develop for the 'crippled system' to maximize profits.
The dual HDMI/ HDTV 'lie$': It was impractical and expensive then, and it is now, so it was dropped; kinda like when they dropped the 'boomerang' because everyone thought the PS2 controller was perfect. Whether $ony listens to their fans, or if they just want to watch your pocket-book (and their own), it's your call.
So is there a problem?

since those features were dropped i upgraded my server instead, so no biggie.
i just wish companies would stop showing stuff that isn't going to make it into what i can purchase. play it safe and you don't piss anyone off and people are happier with your product...
