Gotta love Thinkgeek.

Dont take IGN as gospel.  They are notorious for making stuff up just to generate extra hits apparently.  Some of those will certainly be ready for launch but not all.  Eg, Gran Turismo was initially advertised with the PSP, where the hell is that?

The original creator of FF7 is no longer with Square, correct?  Hes working for MS now iirc.

Thats what the link says.  Hands-On PS3 Show Demos.  Would you mind explaining the difference?  Sounds all the same to me.

I was linking them for the sake of the PS3 discussion, not against what you were saying.

QuoteYou cant Have manafacture well under way and shipped when only febuary you gave out devlopment machines at a decent level.

Sorry I must have read that wrong somewhere.  Anyway Sonys PS3 manufacturing capability is 1 million per month.  They expect to have shipped and sold 6 million PS3s by March of 2007.  The rumoured start of the manufacturing is June.

 On the Spot - 03/23/06 episode.

Always have no comment on games on a new machine till you either see somone or be it yourslef playing an actual game, with the controler and the console in front of you. IF Sony have that at E3 then they could be on track

I have been considering Xbox 360 too. Looks good too.

Not sure as to when or ever I get it...Ill see what I think about it very soon.

Im missing the Rev out of my list cos of mostly what happened with Gamecube. Sorry Nintendo fanboys out there!

I dont count me as a Sony fanboy but I have been gettin other Sony products other than Playstation because of how good the products are! Like Nexus said, the walkman was superb...but hardly use it now I have iPod and it really is handy not carrying CDs with you on the move whereas the iPod you can listen to music without the hassle of putting CDs in the player. I know that there maybe a MP3 player made by Sony so if there is, I never knew there was one in my knowledge

That whole reply sounds like youre trying to justify yourself not being a sony fanboy Batch. Course the fact you run a playstation fan site and have the ps3 as your avatar means nothing

There isnt anything wrong with liking the products from one company exclusively, it just grates when people foam at the mouth and defend the honour of the company like its their own 14 year old daughter.

Ill be buying a PS3 and a Rev to go with my 360 because I prefer to play all the games I want to play, not being restricted by platforms. Generally speaking though I prefer games that arent FPS.

And as for PS3 issues, yes they probably have issues. But the fact the 360 has had a rather worryingly large amount of consoles fail already would suggest MS still have issues.

And that is what i do not do. I think 360 and Rev are gonna be great as well as PS3 so I dont really defend just Sony.

Could pull up where you do, but what would be the point. As said, you like Sony stuff, no harm in that at all. But I dont like the fanboy term here, no one of the people i know on here are ever a fanboy. Most will buy whats good or what they like.
I Prefer my xbox, but have a psp, Dont like macs but have an ipod, for example.

Hhmm, i cant really comment on it, i will just say again, doing that has to make you think why tbh. For me (and a load out there on the web allready) feel, its no where near ready, something isnt quite right, there is issues, and to do that at E3 is interesting.
MS had some running machines, did not have enough for all devlopers so some ran the duel g5 mac systems they got.
Was not great, but it was close and not long after they had more to dish out there. Come release they have been short, they know that and slowley getting there.

Sony I feel are even further behind and i do expect a delay to be anounced. On release we may see the games they say they will launch, but the ps3 itself will be in very very very short supply.

Is there another big Expo between E3 and November?  ECTS?  It strikes me if they are not showing it off, even in a unready form ala MS and its Alpha kits then that is a bit of a blow for Sony and for US.  Hopefully some sneaky people get some info out on the web.

And here is some of it:

QuoteWe are about six months from launch, and debugging should be done, prototypes and dev kits should flow like water, and all the tame magazines should already have one. The situation is rather different though, they are nowhere, and there are two related reasons behind this:

The first is size. People tell us that the current PS3s are about 50% too large to fit in the sleek but empty boxes they have been showing off. This is a problem, but a solvable one, electronics always get smaller. Time solves all, and there is still time, just not much.

More troubling to me is that Sony is still bidding on components for the boxes. This means the development is far from final, and it will be debugging up to, and in a Microsoft overheating manner, past the last minute. Not a good sign.

Interesting if true.

Im pretty sure TGS (Tokyo Games Show) is early September or October. Sony might feel its best to showcase it in their home country first.

hmmm, this will either cause buggy games or an amazing background system, knowing sony and background systems it could be amazing, they have been doing this kind of system with tvs and videos for a long time. I know it isnt exactly the same kind of system. But I have a feeling it wont hurt.

All they need now is a good networking and pc linking system to rival or beat ms. Otherwise this console wont match up. The revolution has new gaming, the 360 was the first with next gen graphics, what will the ps3 bring other than blu-ray playback, which at launch isnt the biggest of things

Now, the mass production chips are only just being tested, again its another sign that the date they have set is a bit optimistic, i cant see many being around if released this year.

I think the console most likley will get a feb 2007 japan release and summner for us.

PS3 yields ARE crap it seems then:
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=32978

After all the fanboys saying its rubbish IBM Finally let it out, and the cell chip yields for the ps3 are poo.
For the size, the casing a console will have this means it could be not long before Sony makes an anouncement that the specs are less but what will be the betting that the price wont be any different ^^

I am still expecting them to anounce a  release delay
