This article says sources are pointing to a September 21 U.S. release, after a September 16 Japanese release. It also has some details about the PS3 HUB service that is supposed to rival XBOX live. Check it out: http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2270&Itemid=2
Thanks man I beleive that sounds about right. It seems sony is biting its tongue since they said the PS3 would be ready by spring.
I think that it might be a true release date.GameStop has already started to let people preoder PS3 games,so why not launch Sept.
That sucks for the people who just figured they would wait a semester and get a PS3 will end up waiting for almost twice as long. But at least there won't be such a long time between Japan release and the US release.
That if the rumor is true, but no one knows for sure. A guy on another thread claims he preordered with a 12/6 release date. Check it out: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/304809 Hope that's not December 6, 2006.
It's not really that long to wait and considering that it'll be cheaper than most Bluray players and can play games too it's worth waiting for.
Maybe it will be out in the US then but it will be out sooner in Japan than that. They said that a spring release was still what they were aiming for so id say earlier in Japan but about then in the US!! Still to far away tho..
So far sony has not said any releasedates. They're just saying spring 2006 for Japan, but they're having major problems with bluray format, so it's delaying the release even further. Anyway even if it is launched in spring (what might be sony's concept of spring?), we'll have to drool all over our keyboards, while looking gameplay videos from Japan. It's going to take at least 6 months from Jpn launch, until it's released in the US. And we europeans have to wait even longer ^_^ But what the heck, I'll play my 360 while waiting.
I'd like to agree with arcanix about oh well I don't care about when the PS3 comes out but I don't have a lot of money to spend on both the PS3, xbox360, or revolution. I want the systems to come out so I can figure out which company gets my $400 plus $60-$180 for 1-3 games to play on it.
Anyone have April Game Informer yet? It might tell us about the released date. Be the way, they NOT going to released it December. I read that it needs to be released by Thanksgiving. I hope it lands on my birthday (24th Nov.)
Ugh how annoying. PS3, Nintendo Revolution, and Halo 3 all on the same day. Just release it now and make millions.
from gamestops website halo 3 is slated for a Pre-Release ETA: 10/3/06. A ps3 newsletter i recieved had interview notes from sony and ps3 is slated for, i can't remember the exact date and my firewall at work wont let me check it, but something like sep 21. and for revolution, there hasnt been a release of any sorts but last i heard they were going to release the same day gamecube did when it came out. october 12 or 21, something like that. sorry i cant remember the specifics but it is still pretty narrowed down compared to "fall 2006"
