Sony unveils its next-gen console in LA; Metal Gear Solid 4, Devil May Cry 4, Tekken 6, Gran Turismo 5, and Warhawk redux confirmed. First pictures and video inside
LOS ANGELES--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce its next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it is now officially called. While the device's price has not yet been set, its release window--spring 2006--has. Flanked by Sony Computer Entertainment America President and CEO Kaz Hirai, SCE head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "supercomputer for computer entertainment."
Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3 will use Blu-ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. Sony also confirmed that the machine will be backward compatible all the way to the original PlayStation. It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for a detachable 2.5-inch HDD, somewhat similar to the Xbox 360's. Sony did not mention if the drive would be standard.
Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer," which is based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision and 1080p resolution--some of the highest HD resolution around. The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second. It also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today.
$1,000.00 Dollars American !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nintendo Revolution I think it's called. ANd yes, I agree with the majority on the ps3 controller - ps2 controller is better. this new controller, although looking cool, won't exactly fit well in the hands. -----------------------

I'm a hardcore PS man, but that's because Final Fantasy is on there. See, I figured they'd downsize the thing or add something totally unbeleivable to it, and making it a collosil bump in my floor may not work best. And I don't think they were actually intending on using controllers like that, because the PS2 controllers were actually right about the same as the PS1... Maybe its just for show? Then again, we could take hold of them and somehow have them fit perfectly... I'm rambling. Good day. -----------------------

you never really know how those things are going to perform until you try them, so i dont think they're going to be that bad. -----------------------

Those guys at Sony are loosing their touch... Which is why Playstation should be left on the shelves. You're buying into a name brand, not the quality of the gameplay. You want good quality games? Get a Revolution or an X-Box 360! -----------------------

I'm a Playstation Fan all the way. And one of the things I really love about ma good PSX,PSOne, and PS2 is the Design of the Controller. It seems to be made for my Hand, and I can play for ours with it. If the PS3 will be compatible with the old Controllers, I might consider buying one, even though the 'Revolution' looks tempting too (SNES Games *yummy*) -----------------------
