Hopefully the chip in the PS3 can run at the full 4.6ghz, not dumbed down. We'll see, that would be quite splendid. And rumors are that it will have 512MB of XDR RAM, which is more than enough. 256 would be good but 512 would be fab. Consoles don't need much RAM to pump out some great results. PS2- 300mhz (roughly) PS3- 4600-ish mhz (hopefully) PS2- 32MB RAM PS3- 512MB of FAST RAM It won't have a hard drive like the XBox, but I don't think that will matter really. It should have Blu-Ray and HD-DVD support (yay!). And it will be backwards compatible with the PS2 and probably the PS1 (yay!). It will also have a built in toaster (yay!). E3 is a few months away, I can't wait to see the Next-Box and the Nintendo Revolution. The specs in those cases are still mysterious. I wonder what crazy, nonsensical schemes Nintendoh is planning this time. I'm so ready for the next gen. NextBox may be on the way in time for Christmas, I'm crossing my fingers. Hopefully Perfect Dark 0 won't be too far behind. Everything on these systems will be running in 1080i/720p high res widescreen, it's going to be bodacious. Which system are you going with next gen? |

Perfect Dark 0? *ejaculates over screen* Nice specs there. Now let me understand this blu-ray? I have heard of it only once. Could you give me a refresher? If the Nextbox is out by Christmas (smart move) then that is the road that this household will be going. Although i have heard that the next GTA installment will debut with PS3 according to an interview with Dan Houser. Nintendo can suck my cock and let me finish in their face. Pointless worthless system. Eternal Darkness is the only saving grace that the previous system had. (great game) They better buckle down if they think they are going to do any good. |

``The Cell cores have media-specific instructions baked in...`` So are the new playstations cooked in an oven or something? |

discs can are somewhere in the area of 25-50GB. That's more GB than you can shake a stick at. Have you played Resident Evil 4? I agree that Gamecube was pretty much a collosal failure compared to PS2 and even Xbox, but it's got some good shit! RE4 is one of the best games ever. The new Zelda looks smoking, too. It disapointed me, but I'm still happy with it. It's very nichey. I'm going with all three because I am a major nerd. I might wait a while on the Next Box, because typically, launch libraries are a bit weak. It doesn't look like Halo 3 is going to around for a while (but they're working on it as we speak... a Bungee insider spilled some beans on IGN and Halo 3 sounds hawt). It's going to be interesting with Microsoft getting out of the gates early. They're sacrificing the ONLY advantage they had on the PS2 (hardware power) to get a headstart on Sony. It didn't work for Sega with the Dreamcast but MS is in a better position than Sega was. I think it goe without saying the Nintendo is going to finish last once again. But I really hope they can back their shit up. They're being bold and I hope they show something stir fry fucking nuts at E3. Like, the controller is a squirtgun or something. |

Imperial College "boffins" are working on holographic discs that could apparently hold around 1TB of data, "ready between 2010 and 2015." |

What the fuck? 1tb? "holographic discs"? How do people come up with this shit |

I just tried to find the thread but those boards are way too busy... it's buried in rubble by now. Points I remember- 1- the biggest- they're trying to incorporate some kind of real-time strategy into it. You can tell your troops what to do, command vehicles, set up pincers/flanks, etc. But they're trying to do it without compromising the FPS nature of the game. You don't NEED to ''play general'', but you can, with a pop-up menu. It sounds very ambitious, but we'll see what happens. Bungee started out Halo as a real-time-strategy game, so this makes perfect sense. Bungee started out making great RTS games on the PC. 2- a speedy human vehicle to counter the ghost, probably a motorcycle/four wheeler or something 3- play as Hunters, Brutes, Elites, etc in multi-player 4- Master Chief sprinting like the guys from Killzone (this I love... after playing Killzone, I REALLY miss the sprint function when I play other FPS') 5- better matchmaking, just general improvements on the onlilne portion. Typical. 6- fully destructible environments ala Red Faction but taken to the next level. For this, Bungee is really pushing for M-Soft to put a hard drive on the Next Box. That way, the tree you destroyed 2 hours ago will still be destroyed when you go back to that spot. 7- water combat, some speedboat, gunboats, large carriers, etc. Naturally, you have to question what the guy said, but he sounded credible, everything sounds realistic and makes sense, and he was correct about some Halo 2 points a year or two ago. |

Remember the flame thrower from halo 1 and the grav gun that was in 1 and 2? Why arent these included and do you think they will be in 3 or is that just a pipe dream? I hope 3 is big as fuck and super long. I also hope for more old school multiplayer to return. I loved ratrace with rockets and same with prisoner |

Those sounds like nice options. I would like to see the HD utilized. |

I just hope to god the PS3 has a new controller... at least one with a better d-pad and longer handles... I hate the PS2 controller. |

I'm doubting the HD-DVD support myself seeing as Sony are really pushing Blu-Ray right now... |

My strategy since the 32 bit era has been to go with whatever system square is backing the most. |

Yeah this isn't going to be just a game console. A lot of companies are really teaming up to throw a huge punch with this; they may have even invested enough to partially ruin themselves if it's not successful. Who knows what applications they have planned? But yeah it's pretty sick. |

I dont like blowing my load over prelim specs. Gameplay is the alpha and omega of gaming. If the games suck (sup xbox?) then I dont want to touch the fucking system. I say bring out a 16 bit system so that companies can slash their game budgets and focus on novel game design concepts. Fuck the industry right now. |

Of course gameplay wins over power, that's why the wimpy little PS2 is number one and the Xbox is not. It's a given that Sony will deliver the software, their empire is BUILT on superior game libraries (just like they're delivering Devil May Cry and Gran Turismo later this month, HOT TAMALES!!!!). It's nice that they'll finally have a beast of a machine to deliver all those games to. Me personally, I think gaming is better than ever. 2004 blew away any other year, the list of AAA games was astounding. I don't mind that most of them were sequels... all that does is provide inventive games like MGS3 and Half Life 2 some more history, context, and story. The early 90s was fun, but some people forget just how much horrible licensed bullshit was shoved down our throats back then. They act like what EA is doing now is a NEW concept. |

PS3 for sure. I can't wait. I missed out on the PS2 as I was more involved in my PC but I'm definetely going to get the PS3 when it comes out. |
