Official Sony E3 2006 Press Conference Thread

[Diff-chan]

Did anyone else notice this fucker is going to weigh 12 pounds. And it's goimg to be 12x3x10. How much did the first Zboz weigh and what were it's dimensions?

Xbox 1 was: 12.6 in wide x 4 in high x 10.2 in deep

And weighed 8.8 pounds.

LOL this motherfucking PS3 is Xduke sized.

So, can we expect the jap public won't buy it because of the girth?

PS3 is teh new Xbrick.

I'm curious what the Japanese response is...

they'll just sell their cars & place the Ps3 in their garage.

I would imagine the $600 price tag will hurt the blu-ray format. The blu-ray format just went from a format you could safely purchase DVDs for, knowing it would be the next format, to a format likely to lose to HD-DVD.

No, size only matters when it's an American manufacturer having the biggest unit. Size doesn't matter if you are Japanese, which in their case is very fortunate.

Okay, the PS3 is $600. That's way fucking expensive. Sony needs to realize that they're making a game console. All that extra stuff is neat but not when it comes at that expense. If it's going to inflate that price that much, don't fucking put it in. Sony won't stop until they create a console that will take the place of EVERYTHING in a person's home- TV, DVD player, TiVo, PC, refrigerator, dishwasher, ironing board, furniture, etc.

Anyway, the games are underwhelming, but they always are on any launch console.

The $500 retard pack having no memory stick, HDMI, or WiFi support = SUPER GAY.

Tekken 6 looks like watery poo.

No chance I'll buy a PS3 at launch (or anywhere near). I'll need at least one good price drop on the $600 version before I even give it a tought. However, this isn't driving me into the arms of a 360, either. Maybe I'll just use the spare time to work on my pile o' shame and more meaningful hobbies.

Same here. A PC's worth the extra expense to me. The PS3 isn't.

Good point. Consoles are really catching up to PCs in that regard. If anything, PC prices have been drastically falling lately. You can get a good PC now for not too much more than a PS3.

Metal Gear sucks.

Haha, nice find.

I liked it. It's confortable and works well. I'm just glad that dropped the banana.

Sad about no more rumble, though.

I missed seeing the lack of rumble on the pad before - that's terrible. I'm sure they'll come out with a revamped version later that has it, but it's basically a standard feature now, and one that does add to games when being used well. I do love the irony of Sony being the first to build it into the pad itself, and yet their next pad will lack it.

[Diff-chan]

rumble is fucking terrible. No game besides Rez uses it well.

[Advocate]

But role isn't that video game racism? Wasn't the reason the first X-Box did not succeeed over there attributed to the size of the system? Now Sony is releasing a system roughly the same size and the Japanese are fawning over it like its naked pics of Elisha Cuthbert.

[Dolemite]

Yeah, they announced that the PS3 controller will be rumble-less, because it would interfere with the motion sensor.

They'll probably charge for the rumbled version of the PS3 controller like fifty bucks.
