First final running ps3 @ E3

[Mich]

Don't know if this has already been discussed or not.

At the E3 show, it appears that there was a sony private booth with an actual final working ps3 showing the game Warhawk. Somebody from forums.e-mpire (xboxdestroya) took some shots with his cam and he also made a video that's currently being hosted at youtube.

This was discussed before, but not in its own thread.

If sony is already done with the console, does that mean they have like.. 3 month to fix all the bugs, and 3 months to mass produce? If so, that would be awesome. Bug free PS3 at launch, and a ton of them? What could be better?

 

[JordanL]

It won't be bug free at launch. All consumer electronics have bugs to a certain degree.

 

[Terarrim]

Yep expect upgrades and bug fixes. Especally as the PS3 is much more complicated than previous generations consoles. We all know the more complicated something is the more things can go wrong!!!! Still its also a closed system so it should be easier to de-bug than your average PC!!!!

I just love how it glows blue, the ps3 is one 8) machine

It shouldn't overheat though; if they got it running as quietly as a slimline PStwo (very desirable for home theatre) then they obviously don't feel a need to cool it that much.

sweet I love the blue and green and red lights, should look good next to my future HD samsung TV.

Sounds like the U. S. will be getting the flat black. I'm down with that-it looks pretty cool. The above pic looks like the gloss black. I'm just glad some announcements have happened.

No don't get confused, we are getting the glossy black. I believe that the 20BG doesn't have the chrome and the gloss. Many pictures of the black PS3 at E3 2006 is glossy. :wink:

I see Inquierer have been BSing again?

Whats worse, them or Gamesradar? :?

didn't sony and that say that because the cell is such a well designed processor that there should be very little/no problems with it? i mean everythin else is basically tried and tested already. the BD drive is alreddy de-problemised, the rsx shouldn't have any problems( graphics cards rarely have problems) and nearly everythin else has been around for a while(usb, wi-fi connections, bluetooth, etc) so there shouldn't be that much to worry bout de-buggin i.m.o.

Yea probably there going to be bugs but they probably have the network update to fix bugs and stuff, imma get warranty where ever i buy the PS3 tho, probably eb!!!

i think that ps3 console wasnt the full Ps3 itself just a dev kit cut down to size to fit inside the ps3 console and all dev kits at E3 06 werent final dev kits they were beta dev kits. Final dev kits hits june as sony stated tons of times.

That's just it, they aren't the things that go wrong, it is usually the construction process that goes wrong like the fans, wiring but more likely the disc drives in terms the motors in side them.

It's kind of funny that considering the complexity of Cell and RSX the things that cause the most problems is the motors.

Good thing it won't be using trays... One less thing to worry over .

I had a friend who accidently stepped on his disc tray when he stood up to get a game from his shelf. Ouch, that one sure hurt.

You have to admit that while the X360 looks cute the PS3 looks bad, ominous and just plain down to business.

 

[Boogie Woogie]

The PS3 looks alot more slick and sophisticated than the Xbox 360 .

That blue glowing "Eject" touch sensitive button on that black PS3 looks freakin' cool .

Did you just say the 360 looks "cute"? o.0 Well, that settles it. 360 is for people who like "cuteness", while PS3 will be for those aiming for "sexiness".

 

[DeAdLy_cOoKiE]

A console can't get any sexier than PS3.

Actually, I think both the 20GB and 60GB models will have that glossy finish. Why? Because in those pics posted on the Sony Press page, both of them lack that gloss. Plus, it just wouldn't make sense to have one with gloss, and silver... and have one without gloss with no silver. Just too much work on thier part.
