Sony Hints on PS3, PSP, and PS2 Plans

Posted by simoniker on from the playstation-googolplex dept.

jaaron writes "The Register/GamesIndustry.biz reports on what Sony may have in store in terms of gaming hardware for E3, and according to remarks from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president David Reeves: 'PSP games will probably be region-free, that PS3 will be intrinsically linked with PSX and may appear in home server and standalone gaming versions, and... Sony may announce a stripped down, PSone-style PlayStation 2 product.'" The interview also mentions: "Looking further ahead, Reeves spoke about Sony's 'ultimate goal' for PlayStation 3 - 'to get into electronic broadband distribution'."

    If you're referring to Windows 9x/Me, you're right (up until you say patch - it's a 16-bit clone of CP/M, not a 16-bit patch to CP/M). However, NT/2K/XP/2K3 are thirty-two bit rewrites of a sixteen-bit operating system (OS/2), with a total rewrite (and full redesign in 4.0 and up - partial redesign in 3.x) to the GUI system.

    sorry, just screwed up my sig. had nothing to do with the post. Microsoft Windows: A thirty-two bit extension and graphical shell to a sixteen-bit patch to an eight-bit operating system originally coded for a four-bit microprocessor which was written by a two-bit company that can't stand one bit of competition just trying to be funny with my sig. n00b on the /.-er posting. Sorry for the confusion everyone
