[Definitive] Sony PS3 Thread


Recommended Posts

hmmm I highly doubt its true, what I would like to know is what is the gamestops dude "source." I wish it was true tho because Im anxiously awaiting info on the release of the PS3 And more info on it, and also when I may be able to reserve one.

lol i highly doubt it that will happen, steal xboxlive??? WTF where did they get that from, i dont think the source for xboxlive has been made public or leaked... how will sony get it, unless they code it up themselves and make it look like live......

as for the other rumours well why are they gonna take pre-orders when they dont even know the final price of the console. Im guessing that they will be ripping many customers off when it comes to pre-orders on saturday or whenever.

But seriously if the ps3 was going to make a spring release then something should have came out at CES, but what they hell, February it will be na d i hope they actually have something playable this time round. If not then i cant see them release before E306

No offence but they meant stealing xbox live, as in, starting their own online-service based on the same ideas ;)

The guy who created XBOX Live now works for Sony again...

...you do the math.

While I sincerly doubt news being released on the 27th, I bet he's right on the money with the Playstation Live service.

Tons of PS3 Details Revealed!

Grab a plate, because we got a mouthful of juicy morsels regarding the PS3. According to the March issue of PSM, Sony?s new console will be going for MSoft?s online jugular. Bloody, yes. But, this is war. Supposedly.

We reported on Sony?s online plans earlier in the week after a scan from PSM appeared. Well, it seems there?s another page. According to the mag, the PS3 will apparently have an online service that floors Xbox Live. The PS3 will also be your new Tivo and double as a DVR. There are more games being developed in the US than previously thought. The PS3 Final Dev kit is faster than expected. There will be a download service similar to iTunes (which I hope Sony doesn?t totally effe up with their own software). The PS3 will serve as a Location Free Player for the PSP, which means you?ll be able to check out DVDs and Blu-ray?s from your PS3 via the PlayStation Portable. Moreover, the PSP will be able to control the PS3?s DVR functions and send files to the PS3. Developers are being told to prep for a fall release.

Wow. This kinda makes me glad that I bought that PSP.

" Reuters reported that Sony has confirmed a spring 2006 launch date for PlayStation 3, but no territory was specific, so the system maybe launched in Japan first. Sony has denied the online reports about the PS3 launch been pushed back to Q4 2006."

There are two developers conferences for developers only if that is what you are referring to:

- DevStation (March 1-2)

- Destionation Playstation 2006 (Feb. 27 - March 3)

And the one that possible announcements could be made before E3:

- Game Developers Conference 2006 (March 20-24)

dont forget the Playstation Conference :D

it had been conformed

When is it?

This is the last I remember hearing about it in Sept.(IGN):

With the system having missed out on its playable debut at TGS, you might be wondering when gamers will get a chance for a first hands-on test. Originally, SCE was scheduled to hold a Japanese event in February that would give players a chance to play PS3 games. Earlier, we mistakenly reported that this event had been cancelled. However, Saeki actually reveals to the magazine that SCE will be taking a somewhat different approach in holding the event. It's something that will surprise gamers, but it's being kept a secret for now.

    • 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.
