PS3 news

I couldn't find a ps3 thread so heres some info on it

the midst of the Pre-TGS 2004 Business Briefing in Tokyo this morning, PlayStation Father and CEO Ken Kutaragi revealed some cold hard facts about the upcoming PlayStation 3. Unfortunately for eager fans, an actual release date or system design wasn't among them, but we did learn that the PS3 would definitely use Blu-Ray -- and that it will also play DVDs and CDs in addition to having 54GB of storage capacity. But how that 54GB of storage space is going to be distributed was not revealed (ie: no idea if that's including the new 54GB Blu-Ray discs minus a Hard Drive, or if it'll be the traditional 24GB disc plus a Hard Drive).

Though some of this news has been whispered about before, or confirmed in various sound bytes here and there, Kutaragi's statements are the most that any representative of Sony has given at any one time about the system for as long as we can remember. Sadly for us, nothing else about the PS3 was revealed.

Of course, if something more is uncovered, you can be sure that we'll be back to cover it. So keep those eyes and ears peeled for some possible surprises in the coming days.
