Rumours of Playstation 3 in 2003

aosgood writes "PS3 in 2003? Bloomberg's got a story from some manufactures stating that they are to begin trial runs next month. All I can say is WOW. "Cell" is ready?" I've got my doubts on the veracity of this information - unidentified sources and all. But it does indicate that even if it's not this year, Sony may be rolling the 3 out sooner then previously thought.Update: 03/10 14:50 GMT by H : Yep Sony has begun denying it.

  1. Sony = The new Atari by vasqzr · · Score: 0, Flamebait


    Atari's demise in the 80's will be Sony's fate.

    Look at it - Sure, EVERYONE owns one. Just like it was in the early 80's

    The market is flooded with CRAP games. Sure, there's a few good ones, but 90% of them SUCK.

    The economy sucks

    Sound familiar?

    You're going down, Sony. At the risk of turning this topic in to (-1, Flamebait), I'd like to say I never was impressed by the Playstation. The original PSX had some of the worst 3D graphics I'd seen, incredibly slow CDROM....

    I see the way of finishing Sony off:

    Microsoft BUYS Nintendo.

    The XBoxCube2 comes out, VERY small formfactor (look at how small the cube was, and look at how BIG the Xbox is. Maybe Apple can help them design it, or at least the controllers.

    The media will be a slot-loading DVD drive. EASILY copied, piracy helps sell consoles. Games will be broadband ready THE DAY the system comes out, no more of this "available late 2004" crap.

  2. So they're getting PS3 soon, huh? by Uttles · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    maybe now sony will have graphics, speed, and feel of Gamecube and Xbox? nah, I doubt it.
