That's the goal.

Supposed to have some revolutionary 'cell' instead of chip that allows iut to be 20 times faster.

The "cell" is odd though.Aparantly, it can draw power from other cells, making it faster. but for that to be true, all PS3s would have to be linked up.

I think it will be a sham, much like the "emotion engine" was though. Weird thing is though, all 3 of the next consoles are using IBM chips and ATI graphics

Probably. I think MS will beat them eventually, but not this generation. Nintendo will always be around to, and I think they will hand the PSP a wake-up call that Sony is not invincible no matter what they think.

Just like when Nintendo thought they were invincible before the N64

From early talks of the PS3, it seems as if it won't be touched this generation. It seems like they are seriously looking hard at the hardware this time. The Eye Toy intergrated in it that can read your emotions...just another thing to set it away from the pact. It was like Microsoft was with the harddrive. That helped them (other then the graphics were a bit cleaner) because nobody else had it. Now that Sony does it puts more of a challenge on selecting.

But the fact is that it might be 500 bucks. I don't know anyone that would pay that much for a gaming system.

That's what a lot of people said for this generation. If you would have gone on eBay and looked how much the PS2s were selling for after the release, you would see there are tons of people willing to pay $500+ for a gaming system. It's a lot of money, that's for sure, but they do that to get as many as they can then, and when they are ready for the price drop everyone who had been saving up can now get it.

Hell, the Nintendo DS is $200 for a portable system and I bet it sells great. That's how much the GC was when it was released. It's an ongoing cycle. The gaming industry is on a high right now and they are just trying milk it out.

PCs have progressively gotten better and better, but have stayed around the same price. 200 bucks isn't bad. I payed 100+ for my Voodoo 3 and 200 for my new ATI. My family payed 2000 bucks for a PC Junior before I was born. And I made my computer for about 1500 bucks.

I've never owned a recent console. Just last year I bought a PS1. Why? Because everything else is too expensive. But I've always wanted to own a PS2. But I can't. I don't have the money.

And it looks like I won't ever have enough money. Which sucks.

Yeah, I agree it's a lot, but I will pay it. I hope it ends up lower but if it doesn't then it looks like I'll pay a little more. I still have another $1,500 for my computer left and I've spent about that on making it what it is now. Just going to pay what I have to and then save up.

Yes, in a heartbeat 7.04% 4300
Maybe, I'd need to save up 14.57% 8899
No, I need it to be cheaper 59.7% 36454
$500? I wouldn't pay $5.00! 18.68% 11404

And maybe I was exaggerating on it hitting the industry hard, but they will probably never get a customer out of me. 100-200 bucks is the max price. Games cost too much for me to have to pay that much for a system.

I'm sure you are right to an extent. But it's obvious that it isn't liked among the more avid gamers (the people who frequent Gamefaqs). I'm willing to spend 500 dollars on some things, but for JUST a gaming system, I don't think so. You have other things to buy along with it anyway. So in essence its more than 500 dollars.

But whatever. It's my opinion, maybe not yours.

It's going to be much later than March 2005:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3886991.stm

Nintendo and Sony both going to show off their next home consoles at the same time

It looks like the next XBox will be out before those two, however:

Besides, games are what sell consoles. Not price.

If you have alot of jems for games on a console, chances are that you are going to buy the console. Even if it's $500.

I am going to hold up that Sony will keep top quality games on their system and stick with what I know is good.

However, time will tell.

I remember when it was a choice between N64 and Psx.

Guess which system had Twisted Metal.

I'm really happy with my PS2 right now, and wouldn't mind sticking with it for another three years or so.

I'll probably pick up a PS3 once the price drops.

There's a lot of people who aren't ready for it. We are still coming out with games that are actually getting what the system has to offer out of them and they are already coming out with a new system. I wouldn't mind a more powerful system at all, but I wish we could push the ones we have to their limit before they release the next ones. That's the world of gaming for you.

Yeah, It might be time to extend the gap between console generations from 5 years to 7.

About the $500 price: The higher the original price is, the quicker it will go down. PS2 was down to 200 within a couple years and down to 150 a couple years after that. PS1s were 200 for as long as I remember until they came out with PS2. It could be that the addition of the xbox helped with the price drop, but if that is the case, I'm guessing that by the time I have enough money for the PS3 they'll already be down to 300 dollars.

About the PS2: What ever happened to these upgrades I always heard about. Sure, they came out with the network adaptor, but I also heard that they were planing on creating a hard drive so you wouldn't have to worry about load times anymore.

About graphics: How good will the graphics really be? The PS2 already has awesome graphics, and it's powerful enough that the graphics are still getting better. But you have to wonder that if the same leap in graphics made from the PS1 to the PS2 will be proportional to the leap to the PS3, we'll have to buy high deffinition TVs to get the most out of the hardware.

About waiting: I got my first PS2 in the first week they came out. At first I was content in buying DVDs, but later I wanted a game. After a month of the PS2 being out, the best game available was "The Bouncer" and as cool as it was for the first two days I played it, I came to the realization that it sucked and I wished they had made better games to introduce the system with. I'm deffinately waiting after the PS3 comes out.

When PS3 comes out, i'll buy a PS2 because those should go way down in price

and if Sony was smart, they'd release it a month or so before xmas.

For $500 it better give me a blow job when I beat a game...seriously.

The hard drive for the PS2 has been out since about March. They have been on time with their upgrades.

The PS3 will most likely be backwards compatiable. Sony knows that's what people are looking for so they are not going to screw it up.

There was a commercial that came out last year, I believe, that had a computer generated football team playing a game in snow. Well, that is suppose to be what the graphics will come out to. If anybody remembers that commercial at all and can give more information then please do. I believe it was for a soda product. Maybe Pepsi or Coke. Don't remember though.

More than likely, I've heard that the PS3 will be an entertainment center in and of itself. Not just games, a whole home entertainment device.

Yeah that was it. Was for Nike. But yeah, that's what the graphics are suppose to resemble. Almost that of cinematic.

Every generation of consoles have one thing in common: They always claim that the system will sell for 500 dollars when it comes out. They said that about the PS2, and it came out for 300 if you bought it at the store (which was difficult at first). They can say it will be 500 dollars all they want, they just make that claim so they have room to work with in case it gets more expensive than they ACTUALLY assume it will be, and they won't be pissing people off. They would much rather say it will cost 500, then actually sell it for 300-400 when it comes out, than say it will cost 300-400 and it come out at 500.

Also, they have in-game footage in a trailer for the first PS3 game. The graphics look cleaner and more detailed than current top of the line CGI movies in games, and it runs smooth as hell. The game is called Dark Sector, and I believe IGN has a trailer of it.
