PSM3 (UK) can't hardly wait to show off their PS3

Showoffs. While the rest of humanity must patiently await their PS3s to roll off Sony's production lines, the blokes over at the UK Playstation Magazine (PSM3 (UK)) already have a unit to coo and awe and drool over. And they have generously decided to show off their little bundle of joy to the world by uploading this short minute-and-a-half video of their precious in action.

(Right now this writer is clawing at his LCD monitor, screaming "My prrrrrecccciiiooouuuuus!")

Our mummy's PS2s this certainly isn't. The XMB has replaced the PS2's menu and string of dancing lights. The disc they load is MotorStorm - can't tell from here if it's a demo, a pre-production build, or maybe it's the game itself and PSM3 just got blessed - again!

Hey, hey! Why are you cutting out after game load, PSM3 guys? C'mon! Show us the game in action! Aw, hell, now we can't hardly wait for our PS3s either.




Update: There seems to be a bit of strain on this video (we're guessing a lot of people are trying to view it at once). If it doesn't load, you can do what we did and refresh/reload (click "Refresh" on your browser) or come back for it later (it'll probably still be here).

» AHHHH

Why does it take so long to load the disc? I thought this system was "state of the art"





Menu looks like ass too..... What is this an oversized PSP?????

» Sexy, love the intro =D

Cant wait, just like the PSP where it shows a preview of the game, then BAM PLAYSTATION 3. Burn the startup of the PS3 looks awesome!

» Mod Chip

Is there a mod chip out yet for the PS3, and will it still let me go online etc.



Is it hard to install, how many solder points is it?



Should up update my ps3 firmware? Can I rip out the HD and put my own bigger azz HD in there? Can someone please do a controller mod to put the analog above your thumb and the dpad 2ndary? How much does online cost?



Can I softmod the ps3? Is there a blu ray burner so i can make my own ps3 games and copies of my home movies? Can i put mp3 on a blue ray data disc and play them on XMB? What about movies like avi and mp4 can i burn those to dvd or blu ray and watch on XMB?



Does the ps3 heat up a lot like the HexBox 360? How come I never see anyone place ps3 in vertical position? What launch games are actually 1080p and which ones are 720p native? I hope most are actually 720p so i can get the full experiance on my 720p tv w/o feeling newbish.



When do other colors come out for ps3 and i hope they dont do a pepto bismol color one. How about clear blue? Yay!



The end.



Please respond to my questions I love you all my fans!

lol, I realize there probably not allows to show any of the game. Or is it because as usual, in typical sony fashion, they've been showing us CGI all along?!?!?!

by TheProfessor - 2006-10-02 13:20
» Very sweet

10 seconds to load the game not bad.



Love the music on the XMB. This is a test kit however and hasnt been finalized. I wonder if they are starting to give them to magazines in order to get in early reviews of the game.



BTW whats with all the unregistered negative comments? I guess people are afraid of it for some reason.

» Beats the X-Box

Just because you bought an X-Box and it sucks you do not have to hate the next biggest thing thats coming out. For you people who post ***** about ambitious people, get a life yourself; you lose in life because you love being last.



P.S X-Box is a decent system, but PS3 has to compete with the newest gaming wares. If you #3 live a block from Best Buy I hope those people jump you as you throw your "water balloons" at them I mean ouch "waterballoons" (cough LOSER). You might as well throw fairy dust at them cause you collect them.

#3 how old are you?

You must be one of those 70yrs old guys who just think about dying and do not like seeing others have fun. GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! ! LOOOOOOOOOOSEEE EEEEEEER!!!!!!! !!

by USA - 2006-10-02 13:55
» Agreed

I agree with #15, the guy who says all that ***** definately sticks his ***** inside balloons to piss in them then throw it at people. Either that or you love to handle piss and experiment with it in various ways. Its alright though because we all know you stick your ***** inside waterballoons; fill them up then throw them, after that you walk home and wonder why you got two black eyes and why you don't feel your back. IDIOT

» man this disc was LOOOOONG to load! :|

and when it's loaded they select it and it's a LOOOOOONG black screen :| man, they should at least put a screen telling us it's loading :S hoping the final version will get one OR hoping the game will load faster! even if it's not long compared to my PS2 lol ( always show the browser before loading the disc. :(, too old I suppose, it's a 1st gen ps2 )



ps: man Mr Doodster is SOOOO stupid! I mean, like a modchip would be invented BEFORE the console launch 1st, and anyway, it's not like we can really burn BDs.., plus; we cannot also store the games on the HDD ( a game of 22gig ? how the hell you can HD advance this ). If you wanna hack, buy a psp lol, or an xbox 360 ( 2$ for each DVD+R DL is not a big deal , I'll buy an x360 when the price drop... and mod it ( or just flash the firmware maybe... surely ). but NO the ps3 won't be mod, at least not for the next 5 years, at LEAST. And also... just go kill yourself Mr Doodster, you an ass.

by senjutsu - 2006-10-02 14:51
» second one for Mr Doodster

you can change the HDD for wathever you want like a PC

the analog is PERFECT the way it is you stupid!

online is free

blue ray player cost 1000$

BD+R DL cost about 25$ each

stop talking about stupidity like watching some basic codec, you have linux installed, you can watch wathever you want, cannot? then download the codec! and anyway mpeg4 is supported by the psp so...

it's not Hexbox, but xbox 360!... lame....

no it' won't overheat, dah, it has coolant this time, not a FAN

I don't care about what you saw! vertical is the same!

all games are at least 720p/1080i... and go up to 1080p

and I don't know how you feel "newbish" wtf is that!

I don't care about your colors, it's gonna be black, and black&silver depending on the model... not PINK



ps: sorry everyone else I had to respond to such stupidity... sry another time for the others, and for Mr Doodster : go kill yourself!

by Word - 2006-10-02 14:57
» No

No, there is no modchip yet.

by Ero Sennin - 2006-10-02 15:22
» Meh...

This looks Cheap.... It looks like the PSP.... Ugly and Ewww makes me wanna not buy it n e more..... ughhh

by Onimushaclan - 2006-10-02 15:39
» lol

pretty much, but no matter how good them sony machines get they always sluggish loading times.. i think sony haven't focus on that situation since the PS1

by Optimistic Gentleman - 2006-10-02 15:42
» I can see it now....

A homebrew community for the PS3 after someone finds an exploit ala PSP. I love Sony. ^_^

by Iownu - 2006-10-02 16:48
» that is the most balla ***** ever

I really like how the ps3's xmb is, real clean and simple. I think that most homebrew for the ps3 would be quite useless cause most people have a computer and you could those kinds of things best on a computer. It be funny if the first ps3 exploit would be a tiff one like the psp. Somebody should try it out just in case, but im pretty sure sony patched it XD even before release. What firmware will the ps3 be when its released? 1.00?

by Nameless - 2006-10-02 17:10
» BTW "handle your piss" wtf is that

#15 and #16, you embarass yourselves and eveyr other self respecting gamer out there, making comments like that.



Only at the Sony camp. I will say that for as long as I witness that consistency.



The rest of you, thank you for remaining civil.





In any case, I do wonder what mags in Pal territories will be like, considering the long wait for the PS3 there. It's going to be kind of wierd previewing, reviewing, and passing up games that haven't been able to be played in buyers homes yet.

by Mr Doodster - 2006-10-02 17:31
» Thanks #19 for being my biggest fan!

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments and I appreciate the fan mail. Thanks for confirming my hopes and dreams #19. I love you.



I like dpad for driving games so thats ok its primary thumb, but it feels wierd for games like san andreas, or tiger woods, for primary control thumb should be in rest position, fact is almost all the games these days use analog for primary control, no matter how much i like dpad. It will be awesome for motorstorm and gthd tho assuming you can stter with dpad. Sony Dpad FTW



People will get blu ray burners and already have dvdr so why is it so hard to imagine a consumer would want to burn digital content to these formats for playback in XMB. Its not straight up linux anyways, I am sure you can't just "add a codec". Thats why they leave out features and promiise FW updates in the future and can sneak in security patchs.



I say hex box because they burn up and have a ring of death. get it?



Vertical is the same? I am just wondering maybe people like to play it sideways for propper airflow, or to keep the discs from scratching, etc. There are no fans?! Thats cool if thats true. How the heck is there no fans?! What kind of coolent is it?



I like the black one anyhow but it looks fingerprinty. It will be a nice fancy shiny object for people to drool over. Bling Bling.



Again thanks for all the fan mail, especially you #19, you are the winner of the game.

Im sure PS3 will be a nice machine.. but man couldn't Sony get creative enough to make it look less like a giant PSP...

by PS3Rider - 2006-10-02 21:28
» Ausome

The PS3 is going to be totally ausome, its was so kewl the way it sucked in that disk relly quick lol. Also you can customize the way it loads up and stuff and all your bacground so you dont have to have a gay purple colour. So it relly is just like a pc, just like sony said. E.g you can customize your background, it has icons for you to click on, it plays movies, music, pictures straight from hdd, can transfer files easy to hdd, you can open about 10 brwer pages simentaniously. See it is basically a super computer. Its like computer gaming but no need to upgrade the insides all the time :) as the games are customly made for you.

by PS3Rider - 2006-10-02 21:35
» PSP like

Hey me again lol, anyway sony have only made it look like the psp browser because it is simple and easy to navigate. Think about it, all your videos, music, games, internet, friends lists and system details and easily listed and then easily listed as subfolder inside. The only reason it doesnt look original is because its has been out on the psp for about a year and a half now. But once you get a ps3 you will be non-the wiser. Also because it has the same browser as the psp it will be easier for people who have been on a psp to use it as they already know where everything will be. sony are jsut making it easier for us. BTW it was nly 7 seconds to load the disk after the nice people at PSM pushed the game disk button on the ps3's interface, thats 8 seconds quicker than the PS2, and 2 secnonds faster than the xbox360 and this is onyl a prototype.

Finally they use a decent group/music in a video game



Pendulum are the biggest drum n bass group here in Aus and its good to see their song Slam as the Motorstorm startup music!



GO PENDULUM!!!!!

» Nintendo will never fail

All you Sony And Microsoft Fan boys are all the same, When the Ps2 was out and the Xbox was about to arrive all the arguments started about power, size and which one would win. Sony fan boys convinced that the amount of games already out would win it and Microsoft fan boys convinced that The power of the machine would win it. Now al you Muppets are arguing the reason that the other console last time around would fail is now the reason that your new console will win. Nintendo Will always be there with who ever makes it because they stick to there roots and the fans know this and can expect the best games even though the might not have the most power. Just Like the days of Sega mega drive and the Snes, and look who is still around out of them two

"Dude get a life, doesn't matter who wins.......... War sucks.....go for techologi and not for company." - #35



Where did #33 say "Nintendo's going to win."? Point it out to me.



That's right. He didn't. The point he's making is that the Xbox and PS fanboys often times make contradictory statements, sometimes hypocritical.



Just because you disagree with something, doesn't mean you agree with the opposite. Simple matter of Psychology. For example, I hate people who complain about idiots. Doesn't mean I like idiots. I hate both complainers and idiots, that's all.



Maybe you'll be smart enough to understand what I'm insinuating.
