| quote: | Not officially confirmed, the first images of the PS3 appear to be leaked. Sony's new console will (maybe) be released in March 2006 in Japan. It will contain wireless controllers, a 160GB harddisk and will only read Blue-Ray discs (which means no backwards compatability?)
Later in 2006, a second version of the PS3 will be in the Japanese stores. This version will have a 400GB hard disk instead, and will be able to record Blue-Ray disks to record TV programs. The new console is expected to be released at the end of 2006 in Europe, and Summer 2006 in the US
More information:
- 1 CELL running at 4 GHZ, providing 256 GFLOPS power (1 PPE, L1 cache 32 KB, L2 cache 512 KB, and 8 SPE each one having 256 KB).
- There is 2 I/O (input/output) on CELL, to communicate with other parts of the console, the first I/O of the CELL has the main purpose to communicate with the unified shared (between the CELL and the GPU) XDR Ram memory (from RAMBUS) at a 50 GB/s bandwidth (4 * 64 MB = 256 MB of memory)
- The second I/O is called FlexIO (flexible input/output) and this allow the CELL to communicate with the next generation NVIDIA GPU at a 76.8 GB/s bandwidth (this GPU with 190 million transistors will run at a 600 MHZ, with a 32 rendering pipelines, associated with 16 MB of Toshiba Embedded DRAM of 256 GB/s bandwidth). The CELL will help the GPU in creating advanced physics for particle effects.
- Retro compatibility with PS1 (emulated by the CELL) and PS2 (emulated by the CELL)
A Hard Disk of 160 GB, Ethernet port (no modem this time), wireless, USB2 port, and a flash stick memory duo-pro support.
- The controllers will not so much differ from those of PS2, with the main difference that they will be WIRELESS, and with better analog buttons and more varied vibration effects.
- If the first CELL IBM produced prototypes are using 90 nanometer technology, the first SDKs containing the CELL that developers will receive after 2 months will be produced with this technology, but the CELLs that will be used on PS3 (and later SDKs) will be produced with the 65 nanometer technology, allowing sony to decrease the costs of PS3, and to tackle the problems of HEAT.

edit: OK I checked a few other forums and they're saying it's fake. |

So the Xbox 360 is going to be released in Novemeber of this year before the Playsation 3 which is supposedly going to be release in March 2006. I didnt realise that Xbox was going to be release before P3

Apparently Bill gates is going to battle Playstation 3 by releasing the Halo 3 game at the same time as P3.
It will be part of the all-important second wave next spring. 'It's perfect,' Gates says, radiant with bloodlust. 'The day Sony launches [the new PlayStation], and they walk right into Halo 3.'" |

Let's not forget March is the Japanese release. The US release can either be within days (if not the same day) or months.
The Halo 3 bit excites me and upsets me. I'm going to be ONE POOR GUY after the first half of '06. :stongue: |

Well... Nowadays, it isn't abnormal to be renting the lot of games that are constantly being released. However, the price of the consoles, peripherals, and best franchise of games will all add up to a hole in my wallet. |

Yeah? Can this be confirmed? Or are people basing this off of the normal multi-month delay between JPN and NA releases? |

Thats my guess, heh
It's the most obvious move though. When was the last time a console released at any other time in North America? |
