[Definitive] Sony PS3 Thread


Recommended Posts

im not too fussed about when the PS3 launches, I will definatly be getting one, but my Pc and my 360 are keeping me entertained nicely for now. If it takes anotehr 12 months ile be happy so long as they get it right.

And ffs sony, stop hogging all the best games :p

Yea and it will have Red-Ray drives with 2TB of data per disk and a Tri-Cell Processor. :whistle:

Indeed, built to compete against Xbox 720 with a 6 core 6Ghz PowerPC CPU, next gen ATI GPU with free Anti-aliasing, Anisotropic filtering, HDR, It will also feature a 10 pound Power supply and a last gen BD-Rom drive. LOL just kidding :p

I just beg it has more then the 8 games posted at Gamespot, otherwise I can damn well wait until 2007 thanks...

EDIT: Launch means were it initially launched, not every nation launch. While I hate to put a downer on things, it's still very possible for some territory (For example, Europe) could not get it until Q4 2006, or even Q1 2007.

I haven't seen this on any other gaming sites and "themagicbox" isn't exactly a reputable source. I'm taking this with a grain of salt till someone can actually identify the real reuters article.

If this is the same Magic Box I remember from way back (like in the late 90's) then it's a pretty reputable source. I used to go there all the time looking for news about the "Dural" (a.k.a Dreamcast) and they were spot on with a lot of stuff moreso than even commercial sites - even with some news items labeled as rumors.

But going back to the topic I hope they still plan on revealing something this month. The holiday season is well over with, so Sony doesn't have to worry so much about consumers losing interest in the PS2.

My sony ps2 slimline crashed while I was playing ffx2 and i sold it on ebay because it didn't save my game = wasted time = waste of money = nintendo never crashed = good = ps3 will not receive my funds

holy sh@! man is your sig erm... allowed? it's a bit wide lol :huh:

I've not seen it before and your posting the link was very welcome..... Thanks.....

The PS3 is looking very good...... The visuals look a shade better than the decidedly avergae 360 visuals......

Let me tell you.... Despite there being a lot of whiny girls on Neowin who complain at posts that have been.....erm..... posted before and even sometimes (when suffering from PMT) declare in outrage that you should use the "flippin" search facility.... Remember, they are just girls, and you need not apologise to them..... And i've never seen a mod complain that something was posted before..... ;)

Peace!

LOL only on Neowin do you have to apologize for it *possibly* being old in the freaking title of the thread :pinch:

It looks ok though, nothing insane in my opinion

You do realize the majority of those videos are representations of what PS3 games will look like right?

Hopefully they'll look as good as those videos.. But I wouldn't count on every single game living up to their respective videos level (look at the 360, some games lived up like Ghost Recon 3, Fight Night Round 3.. Others didn't aka Madden 06).

Can't wait to see what the games actually look like/play like. Hopefully they'll unveil ingame gameplay videos soon.

To get back on topic, according to IBM's Cell dev team, a spring release is highly unlikely - at least if they plan to release the PS3 the way it was planned:

Pro-Linux.de, "Cell-CPU auf dem LinuxTag", 2005-06-25:

"Nachdem einer der Entwickler mit dem offensichtlichen Beta-Status des Produktes und dem Launch-Termin der PS3 konfrontiert wurde, lie? er sich interessante Informationen entlocken: Das Cell-Konsortium arbeitet immer noch an der Verbesserung der CPU, einzelne Prototypen sollen auch bei 2,8 GHz Takt stabil laufen - fertig ist man aber noch lange nicht. Allerdings glaubt auch er nicht, dass Sony die PS3 p?nktlich ver?ffentlichen kann. "

Rough translation:

"Questioned reagrding the PS3 releasedate, one of the developers mentioned that Cell won't be complete for quite some time, and only selected prototypes run stable at 2.8GHz. He also doesn't expect Sony to release the PS3 in time."

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • 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.
