The launch date for PS3 is finally official. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. announced today that it would launch PLAYSTATION 3 in early November 2006 in Japan, North America and Europe simultaneously. A worldwide launch was a bit unexpected to say the least; nevertheless this is great news for us Europeans who are used to waiting almost a year to get our hands on Japanese hardware. For American gamers this news is pretty much as expected as a late 2006 launch have been the guess for some time now. With a monthly production capacity of one million units, SCEI willpush forward a powerful product launch to spread the platform rapidly throughout the world,together with a strong and attractive lineup of PS3 game titles.PS3 incorporates the final specifications of BD (Blu-ray Disc), and with theoverwhelming computing power of PS3, it enables to playback BD software at a high bit rate.With a maximum storage capacity of 50 GB (dual layer) and robust security, BD is a highlyanticipated storage medium that delivers digital entertainment content such as games andmovies at an unparalleled level of image quality. PS3 is compatible with a vast lineup of television sets currently out in the market,from standard-definition TV to full high-definition TV. Users can also connect PS3 to high-speed broadband network through GigabitEthernet and comfortably enjoy a wide-range of rich and exciting content and services over the network. SCEI, together with the support and cooperation of game content creators aroundthe world, will strongly promote the creation of a new world of computer entertainmentavailable on PS3.

NO!Dark Samurai 03.15.2006 04:41 I thought we get it sooner than U.S and Europe. :( But it's still great news for Sony fans worldwide. PS3 is coming with killer launch games, Sony fans prepare yourselves!!!!!! 4 -
Great!Unregistered - Myname 03.15.2006 04:59 This is so great news. SONY said in the beginning it would come out in Europe around november and IT DID! So great news after hearing it could be delayed for almost a year. Now it's time to save up for the PS3 and a HDTV monitor. 5 -
Unregistered - PS gamer 03.15.2006 05:09 Can we have a DIRECT LINK to this story instead of just writing Source: Sony Computer Entertainment Inc I want to read the article from the official link please. 6 -
Re : 5Webmaster 03.15.2006 05:18 There is no link, Sony emailed me a press release a few hours ago. As you will see most other gaming sites are also reporting this today. 7 -
To WebmasterUnregistered - PS gamer 03.15.2006 05:24 Yes, but fail to mention "World Wide Launch" why is that, bloomberg doesnt mention it, I'm just reading Forbes take on the announcement now.

Unregistered - PS gamer 03.15.2006 05:30 Nope no mention of world wide launch in that article either, their is however, mention of a HDD in forbes's article 11 -
WellWebmaster 03.15.2006 05:33 If they didn't mention a worldwide launch then those reports are not updated. "PLAYSTATION 3 launches worldwide in Early November 2006" are Sony's own words. 12 -
YEEEHHHAAAAWWWW !!Hmm 03.15.2006 05:41 WOOOHOOOOO !! Although to be honest, I cant say I expected a worldwide launch. This is absolutly fantastic news. I dont think better news could possibly be posted on this website. 13 -
Worldwide launch?Unregistered - undisputed2k6 03.15.2006 05:45 Can we say shortage for the first year? ...Xbox 360 all over again. Let me get my pistol and wait in line ...lol! Forget pre-orders... 14 -
WebmasterUnregistered - PS gamer 03.15.2006 05:50 OK thanks 15 -
To WebmasterUnregistered - PS gamer 03.15.2006 06:16 OK, I've read a few more articles which say "world wide launch" which is, like you said great for us Europeans, who have to wait much longer. I'm not sure which impressed me most though, the Sony announcement, or you receiving a direct E-mail from Sony, I didn't realise this place was so popular, nice one Webmaster, keep up the good work. 16 -
Other than a Worldwide launchhardwood2001 03.15.2006 06:18 Other than a Worldwide launch nothing else has been answered. Everything is basic off assumptions... http://www.gamespot.com/news/6145972.html 17 -
yea babykingboy 03.15.2006 06:19 Can`t wait that early november day when i will be outside the cold inline waiting for this baby!! and the world would be counting 3 2 1 gooooo!!! just enough time for developers to polish up their games before launch meanwhile i`ll be repping off the last life of the ps2... hahahahah lovely. 18 -
bloop 03.15.2006 06:20 Worldwide launch!!! Thats one thing I thought Sony would definitley fail to deliver. Thank you Sony for finally thinking about us Europeans. Now to become a rock star so I can just sit around all day playing it. Roll on E3. 19 -
............Unregistered - ~ 03.15.2006 06:54 This is good news, but i still aint getting my self excited until that day comes. Just because sony says world wide launch in novemeber doesnt mean dats whats going to happen. I really hope they keep this promise though because theres no turning back for sony if they screw this up... 20 -
Great!Unregistered - Makaveli 03.15.2006 07:06 Great news for all Sony fans! 21 -
Unregistered - theSeus 03.15.2006 07:07 I'm not excited at all. Why should I be? I can't decided whether all of the posts here are funny or I should weep for you in pity. Of all the things that Sony has claimed since E3 of last year how many promises have they kept? That's right very few. So why should I believe any of these announcement? The most likely scenerio is that just like their spring release it will get pushed back or they will not release worldwide. If they do great, but considering Sonys devious marketing strategies I must follow a "I'll believe when I see it approach". You people really are pathetic, you will believe anything. 22 -
Thats awesomeDante 03.15.2006 07:11 anybody here knows if its gonna be released in the same time also in lebanon coz im so damn excited.. 23 -
Fish Man 03.15.2006 07:33 This is kinda rare for Sony but I'm excited to know this because that means the U.S., Japan, and Europe don't have to wait seperate release dates, but I wonder about the other countries like China or Russia. 24 -
Unregistered - asdf 03.15.2006 07:42 A worldwide launch? Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... ;) 25 -
BYE BYE 360 Dark Samurai 03.15.2006 07:42 I think this delay increases the chance of PS3 being equipped with a 3X or 4X BD-ROM Drive. Also PS3 could launch with killer games like MGS4,MotorStorm,Killzone,NiOh,Heavenly Sword,Genji 2... and latest HDMI 1.3 ports plus a 60 gig HDD preloaded with Linux. Kutaragi san has said that developers must make PS3 games with mandatory HDD in mind. HDD will be standard in PS3 unlike 360. 360 looks more and more unimpressive to me now. YES! The True Next Generation Is Upon Us!!! 26 -
Unregistered - asdf 03.15.2006 07:42 not to mention the alleged online component... 27 -

Fish Man 03.15.2006 07:51 Well I don't know about you guys but I signed up to a subscription of Game Informer and I buy EGM at my local pharmacy and those magazines are pretty informative so I'll be gone for awhile until July since I can get more info on new games. Peace 30 -

you guys are unbelievableUnregistered - the one 03.15.2006 08:27 all you guys saying that this is good news are full of it. So sony lies about the spring launch to keep people from buying the 360 and that doesnt bother you? Maybe they said november now because they hope it will be enough time to to actually build the damned thing and in reality the launch will be even later than that. 34 -
EnforcerOfTheTruth 03.15.2006 08:47 As an European I must say this are some great news :-D Let#s just hope now Sony won't screw the launch like MS did. 35 -
#33kingboy 03.15.2006 08:55 Beleive it or not ,it came from the horses mouth.November is really possible given the time to polish up a few things.Atleast,if a spring date was still kept then one would ba asking questions. 36 -
OWNED !Unregistered - Bhai 03.15.2006 09:01 Yeah, I'm totally owned people, can really go buying two of 'em. The greatest thing is that, the final dev kit was really not given to the developers yet, and still there is some time for it. What demos kikizo.com saw were just running off of unfinished kits and still they were hot ! even without the final-PS3-CELL and RSX. To put it through, there are still over 7 months of time to finish up the games. And the world-wide launch...WOW ! now that was a pleasant surprise, I say yeah Sony is gonna really show the competition how to do a world wide launch, not with 0.3 million consoles in each territory, but with a whole 1 million of 'em. Still there will be super shortages, but thanks to Sony's leadership of fast yeilds, every month there will be plenty of new ones. Thankyou Sony, you guys are great !!! 37 -
PS3 release dateUnregistered - Alister 03.15.2006 09:10 Blimey, I'm surprised at how many people are pleased about the late release date for the PS3. It means the 360 will gain huge market dominance this year with new game release dates and I'll be joining the 360 ranks soon probably! 38 -
GoodUnregistered - xboxfan 03.15.2006 09:19 K i am a xbox fan, always have been. I am not here to start stuff. I am happy for the ps3 fan. They have been waiting. And all this rediculous talks about whos is better, we will finally see. Lets just hope that sony isnt lieing. 39 -
ITS TRUE GO TO PLAYSTATION.CO.UKUnregistered - PS3 03.15.2006 09:19 its true i cant wait all non belivers go on to playstation.co.uk now how much does a hd tv cost and ps3 cost i dont care no march 07 for us europeans im glad just glad we have been showed respect we are second biggest market few units less then usa so fock you japs who all ways get it first when you are the weakest market of the 3 and also i am not a xbox360 fan but thank you if it wasnt for you sony will still be sh!tting on us and making us wait hey and guess what, do you think we will get a worldwide release on games i waited a full year for final fantasy X i think we might since ps3 is not region coded and will stop importing and piracy 40 -

PAUL CERULA 03.15.2006 09:27 Well well, Sony definately had far better ways of breaking this sad news to people. This isn't good news, it's jumping the gun and ruining their scheme of tricking the world into believing a Spring Launch was possible. That's Sony resolve and don't forget it. They of course lied...again...big time to the public to decieve the market. That's not a good business, no customer support for the PS2 also. Can't believe you guys have to put up with that peice of crap PS2 for an additional year. You may think your happy and everybody's happy and with that launch but you CAN'T deny that Sony will take a big loss from this. People will switch over and go multi-platform, to deny it you'd be a fool so don't. For you guys who check forums you are hardly any bit of the heart of the market. Don't think your feelings and dedication to Sony is the overall feeling here. It's ridiculous, PS3 is gonna have year old components with blu-ray, which is the reason this happened. If it wasn't for blu-ray it'd launch in half the time. If you don't think the 360 has sold...duh...it's selling every console it has and that's the best it's gonna do. So how can some of you say it's selling like crap, pull your head out of butt. And once MS opens a few more factories they'll continue the same trend for months. Selling every unit they have. YOU WERE GONNA HAVE ALL THIS IN A COUPLE MONTHS, BUT SONY LIED TO DECIEVE YOU FOR 3 MONTHS. Don't forget that. Your only happy cause it's finally over, this debate. Sony fans lost here, all those analysts you bashed, comments you've denied, blind faith in Sony...BOILED DOWN TO SONY LETTING YOU DOWN BIG TIME. 3months down due to deception, 3 months into summer, 3 months though summer and into fall, 3 months into November. With 6 year old console, waiting for a 1 year old console hardware. I'm not saying to buy the 360 just that you have to know how this works, know the company's relentless deception and practically no customer service. and that's real... 42 -
Ohh Hmm 03.15.2006 09:34 Noo...Sonys evil and were going to die. Oh look, the three headless horsemen... 43 -
Its just so funny.......Unregistered - ...................... 03.15.2006 09:37 Its just so funny watching you fools get excited about yet another sony promise. but to be honest i dnt blame sony, i hope sony continues to screw you retarded fanboys you guys deserves that for being such gullable Fuucks..... Go on Ken Screw those fags like you always do... i'd do the same. 44 -

worldwide launch...bad ideaUnregistered - Akakage 03.15.2006 09:45 Apparrently Sony wants to do like microsoft...have a ton of preorders that aren't gonna be filled. This is gonna be bad. Msoft's worldwide launch even though it was weeks apart was miserable for gamers. Instead of having good supply in one country and then doing the same for the others...Nobody has enough x360's and many gamers were left without a X360 this christmas season. This is gonna be just as bad if not worse because its gonna cause another chaotic holiday shoppin season. I expect alot of PS3 related muggings and possibly killings this christmas. Its sad really. Oh well...at least developers have time to finish these ps3 games now. I'm still interested in know what the cost and games are. Even though this is official..if sony's blu-ray issues aren't resolved this will get changed again, much like the fabled Spring 06 launch sony swore was gonna happen. I'll believe this when I see some actually PS3 gameplay running on a PS3 console. I just have this feeling that this "worldwide launch" will be changed again. We'll see 46 -
To #39Unregistered - ........... 03.15.2006 09:46 "IT's True" you say... LOL yea its about as true as the spring launch LOL. 47 -
Loads more BS from Sony!Unregistered - Prospero666 03.15.2006 09:55 There is no way they can launch in November... it's too soon. They don't even have the specs finalized yet, let alone begin production or a working prototype. They are dreaming. Spring 2007 at the earliest... or never. They lied before so we should believe them now because? 48 -
ohhh Json Henry.....!Unregistered - solo 03.15.2006 10:14 hmmm, yeah, who looks stupid now.... I'd hate to say you were WAY off, but sorry bro, you were WAY the fuk off... 49 -
HaUnregistered - Logan 03.15.2006 10:19 I will get excited about the PS3 when I see one in stores or actually see some real gameplay footage. All Sony has done so far is hype up a console that's a ghost. There's hardly any info about it and less about its games. It's all just talk. Sony keeps lying too. At least MS didn't BS about the launch date :-) 50 -
#45Unregistered - solo 03.15.2006 10:20 yes, you may be right, but the whole reason they did this is to make thier fans happy... i guarantee you that this news probably stopped quite a few gamers from going out and gettin a 360, and thats exactly what sony wanted. oh, and the 360 was MUCH more rushed that the ps3 will be, it is likely there will be some preorder delays, but not NEAR as bad as MS's was... 51 -
to comment 41Havoc 03.15.2006 10:20 Hey Paul Cerula I think your nominated for an oscar for most annoying xbox fanboy on a ps3 site and to comment 43 your up for best supporting actress for most annoying xbox fanboy on a ps3 site. Stop be a fool, this is only bad news for Asians because everybody expected the ps3 to come out in the fall for the U.S anyways, and this is great news for Europeans because alot of people thought the ps3 will launch in 2007 for Europe. It seems like the only one dissapointed is you, maybe because you don't want the ps3 to come out at all honostly I don't know why your so mad. Just stop hating! and that's real... 52 -
..wellUnregistered - gamer 03.15.2006 10:22 Well they claim November will be the release date but they've also said Spring would be, puts lingering doubt in my mind that the 07 release date still couldn't happen... Another thing I think Sony is trying to do is settle this 91 million dollar lawsuit over the controler, actually they aren't trying to settle it.. they are trying to fight it. Also I feel as if the delay is to let thier system age enough to make the system cheaper to produce, so they lose less money than what they were supposed to before. So the longer they let you wait for the system, and more dated the spec's become... the cheaper they become with age. But this is more likely for using Blu-Ray (which is actually not going to be cheap wether they put it out now or later) and The Cell Technology. But the graphics card has been around for quite a while so it's nothing that should be a problem being cheaper to produce because it's a outdated card thats over clocked. Not to mention even if PS3 comes out in November... 360 plans on having some of it's biggest games out by then, Gears of War is sure to ring a few bells. Plus, we can't forget the shortages PS2 had when it released and if you think all of Sony's tech problems with how the systems hardwear/interface isn't reacting well together, etc. won't show up in final units causing some faulty ones in each batch... you are definatley highly mistaken! 53 -
Unregistered - G 03.15.2006 10:23 "Kutaragi revealed that Sony had not decided whether or not the PlayStation 3 would come with the hard-drive pre-installed. This raises the possibility that the PS3 could be sold without a piece of hardware needed to play PS3 games--in effect forcing consumers to buy a peripheral for basic functionality." - http://www.gamespot.com/news/6145972.html and people complain about the 360 princing. ps3's going to be a lot if it didn't include the HD. 500 for the system? or around that. plus another 100 for the hdd. i think ps3 should have used dvd. this whole bluray deal not only delayed the system, its also one of the other reasons we're paying extra money for it. all this just to push a new media format. 54 -
ps3dcm 03.15.2006 10:26 anyone that wants to know everything about this go to google.com the news section type in ps3 and there you go its all over the net. its true a hardrive will probably be included and im glad about this gives sony more time to fix bugs and other things. 55 -
#41Punk Street 03.15.2006 10:26 Paul/Spartan or whatever you want to be called, can you lay off your the type of person that gives gamers a bad name, every time you come here it has to be something negative or incompetent, to be honest I don't care who has the better console . Last time when everyone believed that rumour that Sony wasn't going to have a unified online service you were acting like immature idiot, I'm going to end up buying all three consoles for the games I don't really care whos makes a different consle. A console is just a hunk of metal and plastic the only thing that matters are the games, I remeber last time you said that once you had a 360 you would be gone for good I guess Lying through your teeth is the only thing your good at other than acting like you have no common sense. Personally I have nothing against the xbox fanboys or other gamer, competition is a good thing for everyone because developers will make better games. But people like you make me sick when you have to sink as low as to bash another console the ps3 doesn't exist and it's a ghost their's nothing anyone can say about since their are no games and it hasn't been manufatured yet. Do yourself a favor Paul and stop being a ignorant fanboy because everyone has a choice to chose which console they want, game developers have family's they have to feed them and they have to work in a business which is hard work. It doesn't matter if it's Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo everyone on this planet has a choice on which console they want and to be honest I find it pathetic that just because the Sony fans want a ps3 you have to try and start another dumb flame war for no reason at all. 56 -

Sneaky B@stardBOSS 03.15.2006 10:27 7-8 Months thats a looong way away! Why d1d it take Ken this long to admit the delay, whats the price tag. What about the lawsuit. As usaully sony is flapping thier gums and saying nothing. Next week Ken will tell us the ps3 has wings and can fly! 58 -
Unregistered - Brandon 03.15.2006 10:34 My "piece of crap" PS2 has been getting more playtime than my 360. We Love Katamari, MGS 3, and Shadow and the Colossus have given me more enjoyment than Geometry Wars and my slightly increased Burnout Revenge. Granted Oblivion should change that, but thats one game that I will truly enjoy out of a catalog of 7 360 games I have. Sony is consistently releasing games right up to death of the system, unlike Microsoft who basically gave up on the XBOX as soon as they announced the 360's release date. Hell there were still PS1 games being made when the PS2 was out. Microsoft just kills out support for the XBOX. I think the last game I bought for the XBOX was Ninja Gaiden Black. 59 -
to comment 53Havoc 03.15.2006 10:38 the ps3 is coming with a hdd, 60gb with full internet access, home server, and linux installed. You can google it. 60 -
to #41Unregistered - Logan 03.15.2006 10:39 A-FUC*ING-MEN. I am so sick of fanboys bashing each other's consoles. Especially diehard Sony ones that DON'T EVEN HAVE A CONSOLE YET TO COMPARE TO THE 360!!!!!!!! Stop bashing when you don't even have anything. Whenever the Ps3 comes out, I will then finally love to read comparisons but definately not now because THERE IS NO PS3 NOW! Simple as that 61 -
PAUL CERULA 03.15.2006 10:59 Alright let me deal with some fan mail, i got to go to class soon. My dear Havoc, I kinda didn't just go out and say how I felt about this news cause i thought it was irrelavent. But cause one-siders like yourself find that to be the only shred of argument against me I'll tell you what I think. I'M ENTHRALLED ABOUT SONY LAUNCHING NOVEMBER WORLDWIDE. { Cause this means more will go multi-platform which means more dogmatic Sony fanboys will get to experience the 360 and take it for what it's worth. Unlike most did with the xbox 1. } Now in my post I expressed how I didn't understand Sony dropping the deception ball how they were going so that's why it may seem like I'm dissapointed. I'm not hating the PS3, I'm hating the companies methods. But loving the delay for a few reasons one above this paragraph. Punk Street, not all my posts are negative its just that you don't want to see me post positive one's cause it loosens you foothold on me as a fanboy. I'm not a fanboy I just want people to take the 360, ps3, and rev. for what they're worth. Don't be a headless Sony zombie, hanging on to their word. -The unified online I said couldn't possibly be produced by this spring. How is that immature it's the facts. -Also I said once I had a 360 I'd take a little break from the forum, which i did. -Finally you think I want people not the right to choose they're console. Well it's really hard for them to do that when they're not being fair about each console...thus why I'm here. Also you guys think there's no PS3 out. Well yeah but you atleast have a good idea of what to expect. Were you mad I said, "With 6 year old console, waiting for a 1 year old console hardware." come on guys is this all you have to offer against me it's groundless and that's real... 62 -
Solo... you obviously can't read...Unregistered - Jsonhenry 03.15.2006 11:12 This is backing up EVERYTHING I said. Go back and read and weep my friend. I specifically stated that the PS3 with not hit North America until winter, and that is exactly what is prjected is going to happen. Assuming they are telling the truth THIS time around. 63 -
Unregistered - Chronical NME 03.15.2006 11:29 i dont know why you BS3 fans are happy about this worldwide release in Nov. what ever happended to the promise in Spring. i would not be surprised if they delay it some more. its too funny. i though this new annoucement would show the PS3 and what it could do, maybe show some games or something but not even that. Ps3 is a lost cause with empty promises. ill only be impressed when i see really sh1t but for now BS3 is nothing. i only wonder what shareholders are thinking now 64 -
Paul Cerula is rightUnregistered - Adamlos 03.15.2006 11:34 Let me first say that I am not a fanboy of any sort. I am very disappointed in Sony in this matter, and I think most of the pro-Sony posts in this forum have been placed by Sony employees or fanboys. People have been hearing about the PS3 since way back in 2004, and here we are 18 months later and we're still not close. How is that? I agree with one of the previous theories on this thread. The problem is the cost of building the PS3. They want to include everything in this machine, but the technology is so new that it would cost Sony about $800 to build it. The lies from Sony have to stop, and that's coming from a Sony believer. In fact, I am getting married in late June, and I've been planning on purchasing the not-yet-released by Sony (what a shock...) 55 inch SXRD HDTV (1080p input!) and teaming that with the PS3. The HDTV is "supposedly" being released in July, which is when I am getting back from the honeymoon in Italy. Now, I'm not sure I can count on THAT being released timely. I do NOT want to have to team up a DirecTV HD receiver with my current 32 inch non-HDTV. I'm not sure I can trust Sony anymore. To be honest, I won't buy any other brand of TV or the XBOX 360, but I hope everyone else does, just to screw Sony over. Lastly, I sure hope this new technology (Blu-Ray, 1080p, Cell) lasts awhile. I'd hate for them to keep us waiting all this time for stuff that will be obsolete in 12-24 months. - Ad 65 -
Remember guys...........Unregistered - Pink Panther 03.15.2006 11:48 By November the 360 will have lowered it's price once, maybe even twice. Yes, the Ps3 will be better, because it is coming out ONE YEAR after the 360. It should be better. But all the sweet games are coming out for 360 and ps3. I dont like Japanese RPG's that much, and look at what 360 will have soon: Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion on Tuesday of next week, Gears of War on 6/17, Saints Row (which is, yes, a GTA look alike, but I think it will blow it out of the water), and MAYBE Halo 3 this year, but probably not, I wont get my hopes up. I am not lying guys, 360 rocks, except for the not-needed language online, GRAW and Call of Duty 2 are really fun. I just want you to consider something guys, instead of wasting 8 months of your life waiting for something good (which it will be, if you are that focused on it, keep waiting). Remember guys, this isnt a diss or flame post, I just want you guys to logically think. I cant wait for TES IV: Oblivion!!! 66 -

To #63Aeroglyphics 03.15.2006 12:41 The reason why us PS3 Fans are excited is now have confirmation that the PS3 "should" be released in November. That's exactly when the rumors before were stating it would be. The spring release they had been talking about earlier would have been for Japan. Somehow the spring release thing got warped and all of a sudden it was for the US. 70 -

Also even if it launches it will be sold out around x-mas and the 360 will outsell the PS3 5 to 1 during the holiday and by that time with a bunch of killer apps for the 360 and lowered price Sony is doomed. Wasteing all this time and money on another mini disc failure blu ray..HD DVD will win the war anyway!!! 1x blu ray drive I should just buy a vhs player instead atleast I can FF AND REWIND!!!

Adding a hard drive that is "required" strengthens Microsoft's price mechanism even more and might ensure that the PS3 is DOA!Unregistered - Burly 03.15.2006 13:53 The original Xbox shipped with an internal hard drive standard but Microsoft chose not to go this route this time for a number of reasons but the most important one was the price mechanism. It doesn't matter whether you ship the system with a 8 - gigabyte, 20, or 60 gigabyte hard drive - over the course of that console's lifecycle, the component cost of the hard drive will not decrease like the other components will, due to the type of materials and manufacturing processes that are involved (regardless of the size of the hard drive). Thus, Microsoft choose to come out with 2 SKU's; 1) the premium model equipped with a hard drive and a 2) Core model that did not come with a hard drive. At first consumers did not understand why they did this but over the course of time you will see the core model decrease in price more than the premium model because proportionally speaking the component cost of the hard drive in the premium will practically never go down. This strategy also gives Microsoft the ability to more than compete with both Nintendo's Revolution (i.e. at the Core price) and Sony's PS3 (i.e. at the Premium price). I fear that by Sony making this announcement, they have strengthened Microsoft’s strategy / position even more because the PS3's component costs were already far too high for them to compete with Microsoft. Once the euphoria of the PS3's launch has died down, expect Microsoft to price at the margin - so that they are practically never out sold by Sony's PS3. In other words the price margin for Microsoft is the point where even the most loyal PS3 fan says to himself: "why get a PS3? (it is so expensive), when I can pick-up a 360 for a much lower price and play practically all of the same games with graphics and features that look just as good, if not better via the way of Xenos!" Add in Microsoft’s 1-year head start to build up exclusive killer aps and Sony has a problem that they may have in avertedly made bigger with the advent of the hard drive being “required”. The bottom line is that Sony should have not included a Blue Ray drive at all because it wasn’t in the best interests of gamers and adding a hard drive to the mix at this point is like putting a band-aid on a wound that requires a body cast. I know that Microsoft’s strategy is firmly fixed on countering these moves and adjusting the price so as to send Sony home in a body bag - if you know what I mean! PS3 + Hard Drive “required” + Delay = DOA! 86 -

Empty answersUnregistered - Vegeta 03.15.2006 14:32 I don't know what the big fuss is about. Sony didn't really say anything. Novemeber launch, ok, but what date. We know that they are going to have to do the same thing MS did and release at different times, so when exactly is this thing coming out. Hard Drive- built in or seperate and more importantly how much if seperate. Online- how much and what kind? So are they basically copying MS? So many questions with still no answers. More importantly....where are the games? If I buy a PS3 is to play games, not to say I have a cell chip. Nothing against Sony, but they didn't say a Damn thing. Just more crap to make us wait. Oh and what is big deal about a linux HDD? You think they are going to spend all this time with Blue-ray to allow people mess with the OS and hack the PS3? People are making a big deal of absolutely nothing. Get excited when real gameplay comes out, not over this crap. 96 -

PS3 launchBillGatesSucks 03.15.2006 15:03 The Spring launch would have been only for Japan which would have meant a summer or autumn launch for NA anyway, so in reality the delay isn't really that drastic except for the Japanese and is in fact good news for Europe who were expecting an 07 release. Sony admitted that the delay is due to finalisation of copy protection for Blu Ray which has nothing to do with problems with manufacturing as some were saying. I think the price of 50 000 yen ($425 USD) is competative with the 360 as long as it includes the 60gig HDD (Linux pre-installed) standard - and if it's required to run games then there's no reason to think that it won't be (and please don't say anything about memory cards not being standard, they are not required to run games only to save them. Or about the HDD being removable which means it won't be standard because they're going to come in different sizes which means you'll have to be able to get your old one out if you buy a new one). The free online service is very exciting. The fact that all games will be immediately on Blu Ray (and that Blu Ray manufacturing costs are the same as DVD) is good to know but not surprising. PS1 and 2 titles being up-scaled to hi res is pretty cool. Overall I'd say good news if only for the fact that it quells a lot of rumours. I would have liked to seen more news about tech specs and news about the controller but I guess we'll have to wait until after the launch of the final dev kits in June. Paul, how could you say you're "enthralled" about the delay of the PS3 and then say you are not a 360 fanboy? If you seriously think this is going to encourage anyone to jump ship to the 360, you're saddly mistaken. Buying multiple systems is becoming redundant as most 3rd party developers will be going multi-platform next gen anyway. The real difference in games will be in the first party developers and any sane person will admit xbox cannot compete with Playstation in that arena. 99 -
Well...Paul Cerula...?!&*Unregistered - Bhai 03.15.2006 15:06 I don't know what you're talking man but we PS2 fans are getting some of the best, industry has to offer in this 2006, suppposedly last year of the current-gen of consoles, pending upto 2007 : -Valkyrie Profile 2 -Seiken Densetsu 4 (Huge Physics Extravaganza) -Tourist Trophy (Gran Turismo with heave bikes, YEAH !!!) -Okami (Brand new art style) -Onimusha 4 (Oh Yeah! yet again) -Metal G Solid 3 : Subsistence (Now this is called nature sim) -Final Fantasy 12 (Yup, the biggest ever) -Shadow Hearts 3 -Driver 3 -GTA : Liberty City Stories (Yes, Straight from the PSP) -Rogue Galaxy -Mortal Kombat : Armageddon -Evolution GT (Another breath-taking racer) -Ape Escape 3 (An ODE to the awesome Katamari) -Xenosaga 3 -god of war (This alone is enough to topple the crowds) PLUS, The PS3 !!! As I always say folks, "PS2 WAS ONLY HALF AS POWERFUL AS THE ORIGINAL XBOX WAS, BUT STILL IT BLEW THE COMPETITION AWAY...AND THIS TIME AROUND, PS3 IS EITHER EQUAL OR BETTER THAN THE XBOX360, SO YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT PS3 IS GONNA DO TO THE COMPETION THIS TIME." Enjoy the wait folks, we are not so desperate to have a single quality game out like the X-fans are... as the last good thing they remember came 3 years from now, in 2003, in the package called HALO 2. There is plenty of the titles coming yet on the PS2 right now, and there is much, much more on PSP as well, Yeah ! PS3 is gonna OWN !!! 100 -
#98Unregistered - sonysux 03.15.2006 15:15 #98 Your wrong pal. Anyone waiting and not getting into the next gen gameing is retarded. Beside the blu ray 1x speed player the POS3 wont be able to do much more then the 360. Games will look identical if Sony is lucky so what do you have a blu ray layer that in no way is a standered format and probably wont be! So why wait..Can't you buy a 360 now and a PS3 later b/c I hate to break it to you I will buy a ps3 when and if it comes out if its any better but until then I have a 360 that kicks major a@@ and Sony and all that online talk... Seriously Sony online won't be no where near as cool as XBOXLIVE! Can't beat a company at their own game MS developed tyhe internet!! lol.... Linuxx-huh should be getting mad pirating!! Other than that #98 if you wait your stupid. Buy a 360 now and a ps3 in Spring 07 b/c lets be real here Spring 07 is when it will release Sony is Saying November to keep you on their nuts a little longer! 101 -
Unregistered - ? 03.15.2006 15:16 any real gamer that owns an xbox has had plenty of titles to play. ninja gaiden, jade empire, knights of the old republic 1 & 2 among others. anyone who touts halo all the time is just a jock, like most people on these sites that jock sony or microsoft. i don't understand why it is so hard for people to admit that there are good games on both systems. yes sony was well ahead of ms last time. sony had a big head start (which ms has this time), but most importantly, sony had a previous install base from ps1 that ms didn't have with the xbox. if sony shows me a number of games i would like that i can't get on my 360 i'll consider it too. if not, what's the point of spending the money/ the great thing is, that there is no rule saying if you bought a 360 you're not allowed to get a ps3. isn't freedom of choice a lovely thing? 102 -
...Hmm 03.15.2006 15:21 Looks like this topic is getting the usualy dose of absolute stupid fools. 99, damn well said. Hell, the PS2 currently pwns the 360. There are absolutely no fantastic games on the 360. Nothing to 'blow you away'. PGR absolutely sucks, and GT4 loooks better. 103 -
To #98Unregistered - Bhai 03.15.2006 15:21 I absolutely agree with BillGatesSucks when it comes to the first party titles development, no one can compete with Sony, not even the mighty Nintendo. Its a shame for MS, that they have been into games development for so long, as the made the whole visual studio (VC++ etc.), and DirectX, and awesome titles on the PC in the last gen before 2000, but when it comes to Xbox, they just fell plain straight. No 1st party quality at all. I guess they are just doing the business and have no vision at all. 104 -
Unregistered - lagizztic 03.15.2006 15:22 Hey news flash to Sony fanboy's you must live a horror filled life and love dysfunction cause for example if Sony said Comming Soon the all in one blender for One easy payment of $1,250.58 you'd go out and buy the blender and be homeless I swear you all must be rocket scientist (pro Sony Pro Bush right!) Look just like the all in one blender that supposenly cooks everything in minutes, Slices like a dream, and plays hit songs, and lets you make home movies from it you Sony Fans are being LIED TOO THATS RIGHT sONY IS LYING TO YOU i KNOW IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE BUT THEY ARE! That dont matter cause you cant read the small print and dont mind paying a ton extra for Must needed Devices not included! But it's cool cause you are are strung puppets hanging onto Sony's every words for life or death in the words on ren and stimpy YOU IDIOT! But it's cool enjoy your PS3 during christmas 07! Why 07 simple shortages and guess what! If sONY HAS 12 mILLION UNITS AND jAPAN IS GOING TO BE SHORT GUESS WHAT? Hate to break it too you We will be forced to wait! So just like the multitap, the psx, the ps2 harddrive, the eye toy, the duel shock controller (Which Sony lost just because it refused to give money to the inventing company) Let me get this straight SONy ps3 promises a harddrive again!, blu ray technology, ( hey fanboys you ever play Crash Warped LOve the load time huh!='s blu ray speed) and cell proccessor (No unified shading way to go Sony! Lets give um a hand) And a great Online service (If it's so so easy to build the greatest online service how come it's taken um at least 9 years to build a network) Basically their lying to you! So now all you Sony Fanclub come on whine and complain cuss and fuss bout this post oh well like I care cuz I have an actual kickazz system to play on right now with actual games to play imagine that! 105 -
actually...Unregistered - gamer 03.15.2006 15:22 Halo 1 & 2, Grand Theft Auto 3, Vice City, San Andreas, Ninja Gaiden, etc. are just few examples of the games xbox had that made me a proud owner of a system. Not to mention the only game Sony fans ever said back when I had my xbox was "we have gta" and I told them just to wait. Then looked what happened? xbox ended up with sony's biggest franchise and also had the biggest fps for it also. But this time 360 has Halo 3, Gears of War, Saints Row, Frame City Killer, Crackdown, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, Dead Rising, Resident Evil 5, etc... just to name a few of the key games that will be absolutely amazing on 360. So if you want to compare games between the systems thats fine. In my honest opinon only game xbox did not get that I really like on ps2 was God of War, but then I fired up Ninja Gaiden: Black and ended up forgetting about it. 360 has a much better game lineup for next gen and unless your blind there is no way you don't know this! so the war is on! 106 -

to 102Unregistered - ? 03.15.2006 15:28 how many years longer has ps2 been out than the 360? it's months out of launch. the same thing happens any time a new system comes out. you have launch titles, then a dry spell while developers learn how to push the limits of the hardware. do you think the ps3 will launch with 50 games? fight night is great, ghost recon is great, and by the time the ps3 comes out, there will be a ton more great games. i'm not trying to say you should get a 360, or that sony or ps3 suck, because i don't believe that. just saying 360 has a lot of good stuff in the works, and both systems will be very nice when developers have had time to see all the things they can do with the hardware of each. 108 -

The comment to end all comments!!!!!Unregistered - DarkPrinynce 03.15.2006 15:55 I wonder why people are saying yeah we are disappointed and stuff. I am not any fanboy, but I am happy that PS3 is posponed till November. This means that they have time to tweak some things to be a great system. So the ones that say that we should be disappointed, speak for yourself and not others. And the ones talking about outdated material, what the hell do you think the xbox 360 will be in November, 1 year old, so isn't that outdated technology???Hell, anything that comes out technology wise is outdated within the next month, cause technology is always changing. Outdated, ha, big freaking deal, as long as the games are excellent and all people will enjoy, xbox, and ps fanboys alike. Then once they are out then we can see which system is to lead in the next gen war. Right now it's xbox, but the real war will begin when the PS3 RELEASES. Ken may have lied, but i would rather that, then him pushing a half-baked game console on us and be really disappointed. People become business minded in your thinking here. I don't think Sony gives a rats butt about how much market xbox is getting right now, because they know that regardless of the market, if they produce an awesome system before the holiday season, people will buy it, even if they already own an xbox360. I will have both, cause I am a gamer. This gives me good reason to save now for it cause I know when it will be here and I can focus on getting a DLP with the PS3 AND 360 hooked up to it. Things happen in life to where promises are broken for the better. I look at that and I am glad that they are doing the right thing and moved it to Nov. I just hope they produce a monster of a console for the world to behold. Can't wait to see actual game footage in a few months! 113 -
Good StuffTut 03.15.2006 15:56 I am thrilled to hear this news, though I wasn't expecting the launch any earlier in the U.S. I find it entertaining how all of the XBox toters and "fanboys" automatically resort to a "delayed" launch and lies from Sony. Well, everyone knew the earliest release in the United States was Fall 2006, so you are idiots to even try to attack people for that. As for their lies, they don't even pertain to the majority of the market where I will once again refer to the obvious release date of Fall 2006. If you really want to piss people off go to a Japanese PS3 forum and talk smack to them. To you PAUL, You are very unique, I must say. Your awesome facade of intelligence could almost fool my little cousin, and she's 7. If your spelling errors don't make it extremely obvious then the many fallacies in your statement should make it apparent. Let's focus on a few areas of your argument, shall we? "This isn't good news, it's jumping the gun and ruining their scheme of tricking the world into believing a Spring Launch was possible" - Paul First off, I assume you are speaking solely to the Japanese, correct? If not, then people could care less. Again, we all knew it wasn't coming out in the U.S. until Fall at the earliest. "They of course lied...again...big time to the public to decieve the market. That's not a good business..." -Paul I think it is very good business personally. Microsoft does the same thing, and you can't deny that. Hell, just look at the Oragami. Look at Windows! There is one thing you have to think about though. I am sure Sony intended to release in Spring to Japan but they had some unexpected complications, which NEVER happens to anyone, right? They didn't want to upset their valued customers with a shabby product that isn't finished, so they release later with more force. It makes sense to me and I would rather have it that way. Sony is Satan because they have faith in a new product that hit a little speed bump in correlation with their plans. The funny thing about that it Sony is still sticking with them. I think most people would call that loyalty. And as for us continuing to play our PS2 for a few more months, I am totally down for that. Kingdom Hearts 2 and Shadow Hearts 3 will keep me busy for quite some time and they are way more intriguing to me than your so-called "next-gen" graphics. I go for substance and storyline, not graphics, as I think almost everybody does. You could make a game look amazingly impressive but it won't be continually played if it doesn't have substance. "You may think your happy and everybody's happy and with that launch but you CAN'T deny that Sony will take a big loss from this. People will switch over and go multi-platform, to deny it you'd be a fool so don't. " - Paul I haven't seen anyone deny it and frankly I don't think Sony cares if people go multi-platform because "multi-platform" means they are still buying Sony's products. If everyone goes multi-platform Bill and Ken will be partying it up. That is better business for them. Also, I guarantee you most of the people who own Xbox's are veteran gamers and already plan on buying a PS3. The XBox is still a relatively new product and has yet to make it with their break of huge game series. You may argue that Halo was popular and I would not deny that at all, but it takes more than one game to make a console. Playstation has a huge list of games that have received more press than Halo. When XBox can rival that then they will become more successful and I might have an interest in purchasing that console. But for me, personally, I am not wasting $400+ on a system I won't use as half much as my PS2. I would rather buy a new vacuum cleaner, it would get much more play than an XBox would in my house. "If you don't think the 360 has sold...duh...it's selling every console it has and that's the best it's gonna do. " - Paul It has sold every console because it is still far behind in pre-orders. The last time I checked there was an average of around 24-26 people still on the pre-order waiting list in my area. So, for that I blame lack of production as it can't really be a factor of popularity since it was a less-than-good launch. "Your only happy cause it's finally over, this debate. Sony fans lost here, all those analysts you bashed, comments you've denied, blind faith in Sony...BOILED DOWN TO SONY LETTING YOU DOWN BIG TIME." - Paul Again I would agree and disagree. I am extremely happy that this debate is over, because now maybe the hardcore fans will get off these sites and stop annoying everyone with their ignorant, biased opinions. For the record, Sony didn't let me down because I expected this all along. Again, a Fall 2006 launch date for the U.S. at best. I know that the PS3 will be well worth it and I am going to get it earlier than I expected, if I decide to purchase one on launch that is. This is all good news for me. "With 6 year old console, waiting for a 1 year old console hardware. I'm not saying to buy the 360 just that you have to know how this works, know the company's relentless deception and practically no customer service." - Paul That is exactly what you are saying. If you were the true gamer you say you are you wouldn't even be posting your opinion on this site. I would believe that you might own multiple platforms but it is obvious that you are heavily biased yourself. Also, if you are trying to tell everyone that Sony is the only company that is deceptive you are way too confident in your propaganda skills. In all of my experiences with Sony's customer service they have rocked it out hard for me, and I have only had to use that service twice and once was my fault. Everyone's dealings with those services are different so you can't make any generalized statements about it. Also, I don't want customer service for the next few months. I want those people in factories making machines not talking on phones! As for your comment about still using six year-old machinery while waiting for a console that will be a year old, you pulled that straight out of your butt didn't you? That old machinery is still producing awesome games that don't need better graphics to be insanely cool. The funny thing about that one year-old console is that it will have higher technology in it than the XBox360. I can't comment on the Revolution because I don't know any details on it. I love the fact that I won't have to buy an external drive to play HD movies. It might just be me but I hate when a company releases a machine that isn't as good as it can be and they make me buy add-ons later to compensate, which they mark up to a price that is ridiculous in comparison to the whole package I will be buying. That company seems to be repetitive in all aspects of its production. Weird. "Alright let me deal with some fan mail, i got to go to class soon." - Paul Wow... you are really arrogant. I hope you realize this. Even as a joke that makes you sound incredibly self-centered. "But cause one-siders like yourself find that to be the only shred of argument against me I'll tell you what I think. Cause this means more will go multi-platform which means more dogmatic Sony fanboys will get to experience the 360 and take it for what it's worth. Unlike most did with the xbox 1." - Paul And you call him a "one-sider"? Interesting since you make no mention of people buying any other console besides the XBox360. If people go multi-platform then who cares, Sony will still get their business eventually. It is much better for the people who wait for what they want anyway. A long wait for something great makes it SO much better. "Punk Street, not all my posts are negative its just that you don't want to see me post positive one's cause it loosens you foothold on me as a fanboy. I'm not a fanboy I just want people to take the 360, ps3, and rev. for what they're worth. Don't be a headless Sony zombie, hanging on to their word." - Paul Every post I have seen of yours is negative, so I would believe Punk Street's statement. If you post expect to be called a "fanboy" unless you can truly show that you are neutral in the subject. You are an XBox fan, face it. You were trying to promote it and sell it. You can't hide it because it is evident in most of your statements. Again, you may own multiple consoles but by the way you talk you are coming off as an Xbox fan. Notice I said fan not "fanboy" or fanatic. Big difference. You may like all consoles but you are more likely to go for the XBox, therefore you are biased and have the essence of being a "headless ___ zombie" as you call it. "-The unified online I said couldn't possibly be produced by this spring. How is that immature it's the facts. " - Paul Are you a programmer on Sony's team? How do you know how long they have been working on it and every detail about the service? You don't, so that is pure speculation and not relevant to anything arguable. "-Finally you think I want people not the right to choose they're console. Well it's really hard for them to do that when they're not being fair about each console...thus why I'm here." - Paul You are still biased, so you shouldn't try to promote fairness when you are trying to promote and sell one specific console while bashing another. That is called hypocrisy. "Also you guys think there's no PS3 out" Actually... we know there isn't a PS3 out yet. I think that is made apparent by these forums daily and the early November 2006 release/launch date. "Well yeah but you atleast have a good idea of what to expect. Were you mad I said, 'With 6 year old console, waiting for a 1 year old console hardware.'" We know what to expect, it is Sony. They will deliver a good product even if |
