Technology PS3 Console Images

hopefully that image with 3 of them lined up is a real possibility....being able 2 get a ps3 in a different color. Not much i know, but it's a nice little extra.
 
Images are down, if these are the ones a site from China released then they are faked.

Controller looks like a big boomerang thats going to feel a bit weird.

Specs arent that impressive next to the 360, runs at same speed as the 360, 3.2ghz, and only has 256mb of RAM? I was hoping for more spec wise, but like I said, it will all even out when the games hit.
 
512 of ram split into two sections

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2GHz, giving the whole system 2.18 teraflops of overall performance. It will sport 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz.

2.18 teraflops, thats alot more powerful than xbox 360
its not at the same speed, it also has a 700mhz vram

RSX "Reality Synthesizer," which is based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 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.

the controller pic is a prototype, subject to change like it says at the bottom of the pics

the specs are insane..

go check it out on ign.com
 
anybody check out the ps3 video footage yet? Even has clips of games......like Tekken, Devil May Cry 4, etc.

I'm far more impressed with the game footage for the ps3 than for the xbox. Dark sector was really crappy looking and when they were doing multi player on that MTV show, it was lagging.....that's wack.
 
^^ PaulyPac, thats interesting. I like the design too. This is the first PS that I think actually looks good and not like some 80's VCR.

Its interesting that they both went for the curved look but in opposite directions, it kind of represents what Ive been saying that the two systems will end up at the same place but go about it two different ways heh heh.

Looks good though, Ill pick up a PS3 when they are released but until then Ill do a years worth of gaming on my 360 :D. Actually Ill wait to finish Halo 3 before I pick up the PS3 or else it will just be gaming overload.
 
watching the video of the Sony Press Conference now and as the "Father of Playstation" is going through the specs, he has bar graphs and everything and it seems that PS3 has a slight advantage over the XBOX 360 so far. Especially the Cell processor...as he says will be TWICE as fast as the processor for XBOX.

thats right xbox 360 has 1 teraflop and ps3 has 2.18


Teraflop? LOL Stop quoting bullshit you read on other sites especially when the info is WRONG.

Those are GIGAFLOPS not Teraflops. :rolleyes:

It still doesnt matter. Sony is full of shit, i thought it was supposed to be 6 times as fast, then 3 times as fast, now its 2 times as fast? OK. So what? Thats the CPU, the 360 GPU that handles the graphics is better than the PS3s.

And as for CPUs, the PS2 was 5x faster than the Xbox based on Sony's specs, and the Xbox STILL out performed the PS2 in every regard.

So this still really doesnt meant shit, wait for the games people, the hype is all bullshit! Its all going to even out you watch.

I hope Nintendo comes along and kicks everyones ass :D

The PS3 is going to cost an arm and a leg though, blue ray drives are going to jack the price up :(. Fuck i need to work more.

rukas you dont know what a teraflop is do you ?

a teraflop can perform a trillion floating point operations per second

why the fuck would i bullshit ? thats just funny
ask anyone that knows about hardware, and they'll tell you

look at the xbox 360 specs again

http://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox360/factsheet.htm

scroll down to overall system floating performance

ps3 specs

these specs were all presented in the e3 press conference i just watched

Ahhh you're talking total, I thought you meant the CPU which is only 200 gigaflops. I still dont see how the PS3 CPU can pull 1.8 Teraflops when its LESS powerful than the 360 ones?

As for the 6x, originally the hype rumor mill said it would have 6 Cell CPUs.

Anyway like I said, wait for the games, it will all even out you watch, 360 has the better GPU and easier programming language.

I wonder what the PS is going to do with 6 or 7 controllers? Any ideas? I can see it working for sports games, but can you imagine a FPS split screen with 6 or 7 players? :eek:

um no, compare the gpu specs, but we'll see tomorrow properly after the microsoft conference is done
 
at the sony press conference they showed a demo of Unreal 2007 on the Unreal Engine 3 and the guy came out and was like yea, we did this in just 2 months......it's very easy to write for the ps3, it's very compatible with pc hardward.
