Possible PS3 announcement

**Seb** · 09-13-2004

According to http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/ Sony have hinted that they will be making a big PlayStation announcement on Wednesday the 21st of September. However no one knows exactly what the announcement will be about. It could be about PSP or even PS3 but it seems unlikely that it will be about the PSX. Read the article here:

Wow, I hope Im still around to hear this news.

**watashi** · 09-13-2004

I wonder what the news could be?

Here are my thoughts...

They'll show a picture of the PS3!!! Wait not an announcement, scratch that...
they will tell what it will include, IE 'The PS3 will incorporate an already built in internet connection and a removable HD Bay to put in your SONY HD. The PS3 will also have wireless controls that recharge when the power is left on standby. The PS3 will have a built in DVD Recorder to record all data and CD Recording also.'

*man I am dreaming...*

i don’t think that it will be anything big todo with the PS3 considering its to UK journalists
its probably something more UK specific, PSX maybe, PSP more likely
who knows
PSTwo even lol
maybe Sony are going to become a broadband ISP in the UK!
maybe they just want to kill lots of the journalists
who knows
only 1 week away now though, cant wait

Only article I see on this so far is this http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news.php?newsId=548

It seems that they are just "slimming" the PS2 down and adding more features. Ticks me off I was really hoping for more information on the PS3

**don_milz** · 09-21-2004

I would have posted this on the 'PStwo' thread, but thats locked. so i think this will do, seeing as people are talking about a slimmed down PS2.

Well here it is:

And this is it's verticle stand:

Oh, and this new version is the same price as the current version and it comes with a built in ethrenet port, as you can see below:

And one more thing, it's not going to be called 'PStwo'.....the name is still PS2 (PlayStation 2)....it's just a newer version.

While the machine won't, as had been expected, be called PStwo, it does offer a similarly dramatic level of size reduction as the PSone did in comparison to the original PlayStation: the internal volume has been reduced by 75%, the weight has been halved and the thickness has been reduced from 7.8cm to 2.8cm. The new PS2 will also come with a built-in ethernet port for online gaming and will retail for around £100 - the same price as the current model.

I think it looks great. It's so small!

**Darrant** · 09-21-2004

I have to agree with Blake... it loses a lot of its charm to me slimmed down, but just think of the additional room you can save with that *grins*

**Dragonlance** · 09-22-2004

1: the 21st of september is a tuesday
2: the 21st is ending and there is still no news

**watashi** · 09-22-2004

all that and still! NO FREAKING 4 PORTS -_- I thought they'd learned...oh and btw if it's possible there could be a real tiny HD in there with like 20 gigs eh? because people who play socom with the maps will be happy about that,

**Dragonlance** · 09-22-2004

Yeah...umm, its kinda hard to put in 4 ports and a 25GB HD when you shrink the PS2 by 75%. You still dont know how many posts the PS3 will have.

**Darrant** · 09-22-2004

If it does have a HD... they could have used a laptop HD... would suck, but I think there would be enough room for that.

**don_milz** · 09-22-2004

No way, Laptop HD's are more expensive than the usual HD's you get. so that would just boost the price up, which people would not like.

**Blake** · 09-22-2004

Agreed, I dont picture there being any kind of hardrive for it anyways. It wont be needed as the gamer who is yet to purchase the PS2 will problly get it just to add to they're collection...nothing more.

**Dragonlance** · 09-23-2004

Its the 22nd....

**watashi** · 09-23-2004

Okay I'm guessing that revealing of the PS2 is the big news...-_-

**Blake** · 09-23-2004

I believe this slimmed down PS2 is the news we have been waiting for Dragon.

**Dragonlance** · 09-23-2004

To hell with PS2, i wanted PS3

lol
o well, i am still gettin me a new version

**watashi** · 09-23-2004

well by next year sometime in march we may see the light of PS3?

Cheer ya up?

**Dragonlance** · 09-24-2004

No, jsut made me angrier. March is too far away. AAAH! lol
when will tthe PSP come out? It is kinda weird cuz someone in Iowa is already playing it...and they aint lying because i have seen pics they made of themselevs playing it

**watashi** · 09-24-2004

-_____________________- You 'really' believe that they are playing it? If you do then...then...then....

Anyway PSP IS coming out next year and so is the view-release of the PS3

WOOHOO! so 2 years for it to come out...too long ;_; I should have never looked forward into the PS3 years

**gaming ultima** · 09-25-2004

GAMERS GET A LOOK AT PLAYSTATION PORTABLE
CHIBA, JAPAN-- Gamers got their first chance to lay their hands on Sony Computer Entertainment's highly-anciticipated PlayStation Portable (PSP) at the Tokyo Game Show this week and initial reactions were mostly positive.

They gave no information on PS3 at all....damn...damn....damn.....

**KlawHammer** · 06-05-2006

Meh, didn't really know what to call the article.

I just realized this article dates back to April 4th. No one covered this I think, but I want to make sure if it's OK or not before I go any further.

In a leak from the US version of Playstation Magazine, new details of Sony's Online Storage plan is revealed.

To start off, friends will be able to access whatever files you store on your PS3 from any other PS3, with an internet connection, in the world. This still applies even if your system is off. We assume that you will be able to choose which files are public and which ones are private.
