Up close and personal with the PS3 hardware |
Ó
To get up close and personal with the PS3, it helps to work for PSM3, we guess - or Famitsu. It's now the Japanese game site's turn to show off a PS3 (not necessarily their own, or maybe they borrowed them). Courtesy of their pictures, and some rough translations, we can present their guided pictorial tour of the PS3 and the new SIXAXIS controller.
The cosmetic differences between the 60GB and 20GB models seems to be a more silver-finished disc loading panel for the 60GB.What's cool is that the disc slot loading system should work whether the PS3 is mounted horizontally or vertically. The power/reset button is quite interesting, because it ISN'T a button (uh, we think). It seems to be some sort of heat sensor that reacts to the temperature of your fingertip to power and reset the console.
So the flap at the back of the 60GB model covers media loading slots for compact flash and SD memory cards. Below it are four USB ports. On the other hand, located at the right are the ports for HDMI (now in 20GB as well!), LAN cable, digital optical and A/V composite/component, main power switch and AC cable port.
And now the SIXAXIS controller. Compared to the DualShock 2, the only difference is the "PS Home" button on the SIXAXIS taking the place of the "Analog" switch on the DualShock. Famitsu says that the SIXAXIS feels "securely" lighter without the rumble weights of its predecessor (hey, that's how the web translator translated it).
Now, you probably can't wait to get your hands on the PS3 once it ships. Until that happens, do check our site regularly for more PS3 sneak peeks and updates.

Even though the PS3 is BIG, it still looks sexy (that's that I think). If you click on the Famitsu link, you can also see a camparison between the orignal PS2 and the PS3. Also the Power button looks like a button. I don't think it will be heat sensitve. Anyways, nice pics.
Yeah, I get a hard on reading about the PS3 too man.
great the true next gen system is coming...xbox1.5 can kiss my ass
if the ps3 hard drive can be change for a bigger one where is the hard drive slot i just wonder ing and i may be a bit dense but i just wana know if i can just insatll any hard drive say like a 500 gb or some thing
Muck, you won't be able to install just any old hard drive, but I guarruntee that sony will bring out larger sizes, and they will probably be cheaper than xbox 360 hard drives. There was uproar because of the prices, but sony will learn from their rivals mistakes.
My god that is a beautiful system
To Muck, the HD is on the left side of the machine. You can replace it with any 2.5" hard drive. The thing is as of of now they are a bit pricey and I haven't see one with 500gb of storage space. Another option migt be to have a external usb hard drive, if the PS3 will detect it. 3.5" internal and buy a usb case would be a lot cheaper than a 2.5". I just bought a 300gb for $75 at Office Depot about 2 months ago. (rebate stuff)
I still don't like the controller. It just doesn't compliment the 60gb PS3 at all. It would have been nice for Sony to use like a deep flat black and all clear buttons (psp style buttons) with Sony logo in silver for a more refined look. Or a black transparent pad with the clear buttons (like the PS3).
Only one problem that I can see with th controller... I quite often lean the controller against my leg when playing fighting games (needed for control)... I don't want to be constantly pressing the R2 button all the time.
