The PS3 looks poorly made and quite shabby in my opinion.

Anybody else feel the same way?

If it was on looks i'd count myself in the Nintendo camp straight away.

i don't feel the same way. i think ps3 looks beautiful, and being available in different colours is all the better. i also think the x360 looks better than the revolution.

imo the revolution is boring and clearly reflects the lack in power it will have compared to the other two consoles. in fact it looks like a huge disk drive (to quote a good friend of mine).

:) PS3 Launch Price

Good news everyone! Looks like the price launch price has dropped to that of Sony's previous consoles.

Should be able to get it for my 18th now.

To save people time, $370 is roughly ?200, so I know I'm going to be shelling out to get one.

The previous price, although only ?250, is still nice enough to me considering the hardware, but kudos to SCE for dropping it.

At first glimpse of the PlayStation 3, I thought it looked horrible - the controller looked awkward and not very comfortable and the console itself just looked chunky but later I found out it was just the way it was positioned in the screenshot I was staring at.

Now seeing it from different angles, I find it to be some what nice, resembling the old PlayStation 2 but with a touch of the future and I agree, the console being available in black, white and silver is a nice way to come out to the market (assuming they will all be available at one time). Nintendo has done it with GameCube and will be doing it with Revolution but they have colours which I don't think work well with consoles like bright orange and lime green.

The Revolution may seem boring but many do find minimal layout designs sexy - such as I. Though, actually, I haven't had a good look at it but from what I remember, it isn't bad at all. Sleek in my opinion.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the next-generation consoles. I'll most likely just wait until all three consoles have had some time on the shelf until I decide which I will buy and probably wait for a price drop as well.

Almost never true, we never get translated prices like that, its usually dollar for pound when we eventually get it.

Well, if it's dropping to the original price of the PS2 in the US, I can't see Sony deviating far from doing the same in Europe. No point speculating on a price really, until it's got a solid date and price announced by Sony themselves.

Hopefully Sony'll be nice and announce it soon.

But they're nothing to do with games, the technical demoes will look better then anything the PS3 will do, and the CGI is exactly that. How about waiting to see some real games in motion before creaming yourself...

Sorry, but they weren't The only realtime code was the technical demoes (that includes the Unreal Engine 3.0 demo). The other "demonstrations" like Killzone, Motor Storm etc were all pre rendered concepts of how they think the games might look on PS3.

i think the unreal engine 3.0 demo just proves how amazing games will/should look on the ps3.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
