[Definitive] Sony PS3 Thread


Recommended Posts

I have my own lil predictions that the PS3 will release around autumn time in Japan, and then release in November over in USA and Europe will get it in March. I don't think it would make sense to release a console in summer time. No doubt it would still sell well, but closer to the holiday period makes more sense to me.

There is two ways to look at it for me, releasing the PS3 later than expected is going to lose them some market share and interest from buyers. However releasing it later is going to drop the costs of the Blu Ray drives a little surely?

Just my thoughts anyway.

Nothing. As childish as this may sound, Spartan triggered it off...

excuseme me but it was you the one who turned this post upsidedown and now you say it was me...

how about this trigger? :s

What you think Microsoft's Desktop Search technology is actually interesting??? :rofl:

Ok to MGS3 telling me I cant afford 2k for a console. Ive bought a 52 inch plasma just for my xbox 360 which cost me close to 3.5k. Ive bought the xbox premium, 4 controllers, play an charge kits for all controllers, Xbox live gold, extended warranty, and I currently own 9 games all on the same day. For you to tell me that I can afford a system is ridiculous. I just find it dumb that a guy would spend 2k on a system alone. Check some of my threads and youll see a Alienware that ive built which would probably be more expensive than your car.

Yeah, sure, rich boy. Whatever floats your plasma.

BTW, no.

Extended Warranty... your e-penis just officially shrunk 4 inches.

Are you trying to be sarcastic? Of course they will have a remote for the PS3 they had one for the PS2 and so dose the 360! :)

I'm quite sure what wild meant wasn't a remote, but a Sony-branded REVMOTE clone. But I don't expect something like that, Sony wouldn't dare to pull a stunt like that. Even if they wanted to jump on the bandwagon, it would be way too late - maybe for PS4... :)

I saw this posted over at the PS3 IGN forums.

This is all speculation please take it with a grain of salt

I stopped by my local Gamestop to pick up my copy of DMC3SE (great game, every PS2 owner should get it). I saw the clerk (also my friend) talking to a lady who came to ask for a PS3 preorders. He explained to her that they aren't taking preorders yet BUT Sony is about to announced the whole deal by Friday and they will be taking preorders for PS3 on Saturday.

The lady left (she was talking about shortages and stuff, I assumed her son/nephew whatever missed out on an Xbox360 so she was concerned this time around) and I approached the clerk to purchase DMC3SE. After my purchase, I asked him about the PS3. He specifically stated that this Friday (the 27th) Sony will release a lot of information concerning the launch, including the date, the price, the games and the bundle. I asked him what else he learned and he said frankly that Sony is stealing Xbox's Live system and upgrading it.

His exact quote:

"Yea Sony doesn't care nor do they have any shame. They are basically stealing Xbox Live and making it better, just like they have been doing in the past. I don't really care though but that's just how it is."

I talked to 2 other clerks there and they said the same thing. I don't think they learned this off the Internet or anything, the guy was extremely confident of this news. Has anyone heard of this from any other store? I am taking this with a grain of salt but I have rarely seen anyone so confident about his news. He was telling the other customers the same thing...

Now IF this is true this would rock! :woot: Just have to wait and see I guess........... Opinions? :blink:

Interesting, though I would really take this information with a huge GRAIN of salt. I mean serioulsy, gamespot; ebgames; and even your mom and pop shop can say wat every they will, but by now we would have herd something about this or at least a few more hints. Another thing is he mentions the 27th. Only problem is he doesn't give a specific 27th, this 27th could be tomorrow, february 27th, hell even march 27th..

then again to think about it, wal-mart and a few other retail chains have been posting ps3 related things, as though something was to be announce or a idea.. I'm not sure but I'm still taking this with a grain of salt.

I doubt it, but you never know.

I can see them announcing everything @ E3 though (which is in May).

And then selling it the next day in Japan. Then just in time for the holiday season in N. America.

lol, yeah, every rumor i've ever heard about next gen stuff has always managed to start at some ebgames/gamestop clerk.

These guys have absolutely no idea that they're bulls***ing their customers...they seriously need to be gagged from spreading FUD.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
