Need to Know PS3 info(Pricing/ReleaseDate/Packages/Preordering)

So the lower end PS3 can play movies in HD, do you have to buy a special connector?? and to make it WIFI will i have to buy a extra antena.

 

eureka21
The low end dosent have DVI or RF/Cable ,its mostly Svid and RCA and mabye 1 or 2 more..

 

Theres no point in buying the 20GB version at all. For the $100 you're going to save its simply not worth it as you miss out on the online capability and other possible upgrades which may come out at a future date. For me it's definatly going to be the 60GB version.

to ture,theres jsut little to no point your already at the 500 mark no matter what you do another 100 is best used for better quity,altho I aint gettign one anytime soon *L*

 

sup guys.. ok this is what I want to know , I plan on just given someone the money to buy it for me that works at target day b4 Nov 17th . My questions is how much money is it going to be? I know they say 600 and 500. I want the big boy (600 dollar one) but remember its might be a bundle pack with 3 games included. I dont wanna pay 1000 dollars!!, all I want is the 60 gb hard drive ps3 and a game thats IT! lol stores are gonna try and rape us, we all want it to be just 600 dollars but they gone add shit to that version. also is there more comming with it like more controllers or what not , I hope they dont add 4 games ($59 a piece) because they did that with the ps2 ,so I got the naked one instead (ps2 no game or nothin) instead of the bundle pack that was over 400 dollars. I hope there is to versions on the 60 gb version like one with games a one with out because november is knockin on the door of christmas these stores are gone try and screw us. lol someone please help me out, and give me a price range because this is what sony says not the stores who are gone try to bankk off us.

 

sorry (two versions of the 60 gb hard drive version )

 

@eureka21 no you can use the regular componant cables that came with it and still get a great hd picture.As zippy was saying the low end one doesn't have hdmi or dvi.For wifi the low end one doesn't have it built in but you can get an add on similar to x360's wifi.I would just get the $600 one then you'll have wifi and all the other goodies out of the box.

@blacgoku Nah only one 60gb version.There is a 20gb version as well.

 

thanks Tycobb but this is the thing ,I want to know if its going to be a bundle pack thats gone be high as hell or will the games be seperate I rather just buy one game instead of paying extra for a bundle pack Im cool with just one game I can buy more later. How much money should I bring to be safe ?

 

here is some more ps3 info. 27 PLAYABLE titles for TGS. read on

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/727/727456p1.html

 

Good article.Hopefully since these are playable they are getting closer to completion.I thinking the other 8 will be the non sony releases seens how there are mostly sony published games in the current list.

@blacGoku there not going to force you.There will be bundles but they are completely optional.If you want just get the ps3 and a game.Also don't forget you will be able to download free demos from sony's online service(free service).This would tide you over until you can get more games.

 

coool! thanks Ty . Now I know I dont have to take in $2000 lol dont wanna get robbed ,and thanks again for the info on downloading demo's . Im a cheap bastuurd , just wont my console and somethin to play so I can say (I got a Ps3). Just that can get me by !

 

At the moment Im too lazy to check if this has been talked about, but I heard that you can download full ps1 titles on to the ps3 harddrive. I want to know if this is true, if it is then xbox 360 aint got nothing on it.

Peace Out!

 

awhile back there was discussion about being able to download old playstation games from the two systems. ign had a something on this, but i only came across this....

some more stuff for you to read: "PSP Download Service to launch with PS3"

from what i understood about the cheaper ps3 was use the component cables for the 1080p picture till the hdcp crap was in effect, and i thought that sony hinted that they had a way to let people with a component to hdmi converter get around the itc.

and i also so an article on ign that talked about the psp being able to display rendered graphics from the ps3, sorta using the ps3 as a movie player and music player while your out and about.

 

... as usual the land down under draws the short straw. March 2007 release & $850 - $1000 price tag!

 

From what I understand, the PSP plays a role in the actual gameplay of certain games on the PS3. The PSP can be used as a PS3 controller, but the screen is used as well. For instance, in racing games, the screen will be a rear view mirror. The PS3 can have music, movies, images, etc. and by connecting to your PS3 through a Wi-Fi hotspot anywhere, you can change what you have on your PSP, pretty much eliminating the need for a large memory stick, because all your media is at your disposal anywhere. As far as I know, that's what they've announced for the PSP/PS3 connection so far, so it may change.

 

As you guy might of heard Sony announced there will be a price cut on its console, but now they say it will only be for Japan. Is that messed up or what?

well i don't think its messed up but considering their lower launch figures for their homeland and the release of the wii, it makes sense. they needed to do something there to get some of the attention back on the ps3. they had a great showing i thought at TGS or atleast a great reaction, and adding a price drop to that region makes it a bit more competitive with the wii. sorry but i don't see the 360 as being anything sony or nintendo are worried about in japan, so that is why i think sony made the move to be in a better position to compete with the wii.

 

I think your right, with all the talk of PS3 and the 360 I forgot about Wii. Japan is Wii's #1 market. Sony knows they will sell out here in the U.S. regardless of the price.

 

You guys are probably right. The Wii is the type of quirky, inovative thing the Japanese market craves. I wouldn't be surprised if more Wii consoles sold in Japan on day 1 than PS3. The price drop was necessary. But, I heard Sony did away with Regional Barriers which means we can play Japanese games on American consoles. If this is true, why not just import a PS3 from Japan...depends on how big the price drop is though.
