PS3 2005 vs PS3 2006 - WYSIWYG


Recommended Posts

do you have a source for that bit? that goes completely against everything bluray has said...

with the 499 model (no hdmi) you should be viewing bluray discs at 480p.

Actually I am right, at least for Sony and Universal anyway...point is, the image constraint token is not going to kick in like everyone is being led to believe.

Wishful thinking there. :p

Er, no. I honestly believe that with the Xbox being $400, and then the add-on being $200-$300 at least (only my prediction, don't shoot me), it'll exceed the price of the 60GB PS3.

Similarly Sony could sell the PS3 for a hundred dollars more while they are at it but that didnt happen.

Except Sony co-developed Blu-ray, and they will gain from Blu-ray sales. What will Microsoft gain from HD-DVD movie sales??

No you are not. This is what you said: "no other studios have said they will incorporate this sneaky feature either." and I showed you one major studio. Some of their titles out already feature ICT.

$200-$300 and that too at least. If that is not wishful thinking then I dont know what is. :p

Competitive market share for one. ;)

who needs 2 HDMI, component can do 1080p and will not be downgraded for movies the most part and not on games i don't think, usb's are on the front, online will be free, etc. stop whining

stop the sony bashing all day long, don't xbox360 fanboys have something better to do than complain about sony.

Ok let see here

PS3 is missing Dual HDMI connectors for Game panning on 2x 1080P displays, no way in hell Sony could have pulled that one off, 3x Nic Ports no need for 3 of them. Lasty from what i have been reading is that the Blue-ray drive isa no show yet in the machine. and further more since i was not impressed with the PS3 in graphics and or originality i wont myself be buying one.

From E3 2005 last year to this year so many Sony Fans siad playstation 3 will rule and kick ass and be better. i sure you peaple who did say that are ready to eat soem Soap cause you all got dirty mouths he he he he . and Brandon Live is correct on his views i really doubt sony will have a completly FREE onlien service

First of all I wish you would stop pulling your facts out of nowhere. :rolleyes: Sony announced at E3 that they would have 2 levels of online play. Yes one of them they will charge for. Much like Microsoft does. It was on one of the powerpoint slides. The pay for version includes extra tracking of friends across buddy lists and such.

Second, what have they really gotten rid of? There is still 1x HDMI (which is all you need), 1x CAT5, 4x USB (2 more than before), 1x Component out, and still wireless? Whats the big fuss?

Are we at it again? The bitching, whining and fan-boy wars?

Come on people, you know the price, extra features, etc. Don't mean anything with consoles, and I think that is pretty evident with the Playstation 2. It wasn't feature packed, superior hardware wise but the games are what matters. The only reason the Playstation 2 sold is because of it's huge and amazing game library, yes it may not be YOUR type of games but it proved fair and square that hardware never matters.

Also whoever said that Playstation 3 doesn't a license for the Unreal 3 engine and the Unreal Tournament 2007 version of PS3, well you're wrong. http://www.epicgames.com/press_ps3.html and http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/unrealt...s.html?mode=all

It's funny all you Xbox 360 fan-boys are the ones nit-picking at the Playstation, Is it because it was more superior to your beloved Xbox? I don't know but I didn't see as much nit-picking from Nintendo and Sony fan-boys as I just saw in this thread.

LMFAO.

UT2007 was only for PS3 and now Sony managed to lose exclusivity to even that game.

Wow, how old are some of you? Really now...

Sony said that the outputs on the back weren't final and were bound to change. Some people are just going full force on this Sony bashing because they have nothing else to do.

No kidding, the idiot who made the image with "Lie" all over it points to the USB ports two even though sony added four to the front. Haha, these fanboys. Hilarious. :rofl:

That being said, I think revolution will win japan, ill try for a revolution first then a ps3

But just look at the Core system...what fool would choose to buy that? Sony's doing the same thing: they want you to go for the higher priced one.

Major distinction:

The core system can be upgraded to be exactly the same as a "premium" unit. The only difference is the included accessories.

With the PS3 "value" edition, you actually get a lesser unit that will never have HDMI, or memory card slots, or wireless inside of it.

pros:

- controler that lots of people like

- hdmi (only on 600 model)

- lots of rpgs

- backward compatilble (maybe?)

cons:

- no force feedback (how could they call it dual-shock 3 when the point of dual-shock was the rumble?)

- price

- lost most of the features sony promised last year

- losing lots of "exclusive" titles

I would like to point out that I didn't make the pic, just posted it from another site. I thought it was a funny picture, even if it's not completely correct or a big deal about the missing ports :)

Not commenting on you post, just your sig. You do realize that the 500 dollar PS3 has all the hardware features of the 400 dollar 360 + a blu-ray player right? It's really only fair to compare the 500 dollar PS3 to the cost of an xbox 360 + the HD-DVD add-on. The 600 dollar PS3 has a hardware feature set that extends beyond the premium 360 + hd-dvd add-on.

Please realize that the comparison is not PS3 versus Xbox 360, rather the comparison is for the two flavors of each console. Although both purchases are dumb (imo), it is dumber to purchase a $500 PS3 over the $600 PS3 than it is to purchase the $300 Xbox 360 over the $400 Xbox 360 since the Xbox 360 is upgradable, the PS3 is not.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
