[Definitive] Sony PS3 Thread


Recommended Posts

I would like to know how that controller feels. It still looks a bit odd.

i'm sure everyone wants to know how the controller feels.

but because of the really negative response to it, sony are very like to change it. there's still a long way to go before it comes out, so the controller could get a complete redesign, and the console itself may change as well.

Hope that happens. :cool:

Im sure if the controller dosent feel right, we could always switch for the older controle, and put the newer one on ebay or amazon.  :D

yeah, but i'm sure everyone who gets a PS3 will get used to the controller eventually... unless it's very discomforting to them, which i highly doubt. i mean people got used to that ginormous xbox controller, so the PS3 one should be a breeze :)

yeah and who will want a wired controller by the time the ps3 comes out?

i understand many people don't need wireless, even i don't, but wireless gives you freedom and style. in 2006, wireless will be the norm, so regardless of ugliness, people will just use whatever sony throws at them.

let's just hope it looks nice though.

I'd just take it as a given that all the next gen ones will have AA. It isn't like the GPUs on any of the 3 systems won't be able to handle it...

maybe...

sony havent hinted on anything about the ps3 and anti-aliasing... so u never know...

aye well lets hope so,, i dont wanna buy some junk at the end of the day and pay loads :shifty:

To those of you who plan to get a PS3: If it ends up costing around $500, will you still wanna get it?

586008136[/snapback]

No, if there are some killer apps at release maybe i'll buy it if it's released at $299.. If it's not at that price, I'll buy it for sure when the price drops down to $250.

:yes:

usually if a console is x USD then it'll be x GBP, which is crap. but they would never price it at ?500. no one would ever buy that in the UK.

Depends what it launches with...if there's some good titles in the mix then yeah, but if there's only a couple than I can see myself waiting till it's around $400

you're right, but then again most people know that.

pc performance will always catch up, and surpass, console performance because separate components are upgradable.

if PCs one day became un-upgradable, then the story would be completely different. there'd be a lot more competition from gfx card makers to get the most powerful graphics and performance to last the longest time.

[new to neowin first post :p im from bahia brazil]

so i dont think the ps3 will beat pc games.....

i think the g70 sli and the r520 crossfire will own all the next gen...

if ur a performance phreak like me i dont think ps3's graphics will remain the BEST!

586010682[/snapback]

true, but you have to think of what enhancements to power the XB360 and PS3 have. Go play Halo 2 on a PC with the same specs as an Xbox. You can't.

Really? You mean if I spend a $1000 on two Nvidia SLI cards and another $500 on a cpu and motherboard, and a couple hundred more on ram and hard drives it will beat a $300-500 console.

:yes:

586008907[/snapback]

true... i aint gonna buy it if its over 300-350 quid on launch... (my personal opinion... well its not worth it... regardless of features... at the end of the day its just a games console... not a pc)

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
