PlayStation 3 To Debut at E3 2005
Yorrike writes "According to the BBC, Sony are planning to officially reveal the PlayStation 3 at the E3 Expo in May 2005. They're obviously not wanting to be outdone by Nintendo, who announced the same plans for the GameCube successor, as well as Xbox 2's rumored debut around that time. Looks like E3 2005 is going to be a biggy." Worth noting that's not the ship date, but when people will see it.
"but the 'X' is huge in the USA"
That comment is both lame and bullshit.
"Still slobberin' for Halo2"
What a fucking dork.
This got modded up as insightfull?
What do you mean no developers? The only hold out i'm aware of are Sony owned or Nintendo own companies.
Even EA has seen the light of day and will offer broad support of Xbox Live.
i think the PS2 has dead monkeys developing for it with all the crap that comes out. Goes for any console for that matter.
As for Console vs PC, there will not be a distinction in the near future. DRM will enforce console like licensing & features on your PC and now that PC/Gaming "conversion" is coming on quickly and affordably (pc's were too expensive for market acceptance and performance) it won't be long before we just have "Consumer" devices.
Well, I know 3 people with PS2s that ended up not working, and it has nothing to do with modding. It has to do with watching dvds on them. The damn lasers in the PS2 are worthless, the new models are better, but the old ones are horrible. First gen PS2 was a huge pile of crap in a lot of ways (it was noisy and the laser sucked to name a few). After a while, these PS2s quit loading DVD based PS2 games and DVD movies. The still seem to load CD based (blue backed games) without issue in most cases, even though the laser is extremely noisy when loading blue games. Enough evidence for you?
Enough evidence ? no, what you have just said is completely anecdotal, got any reliable source for your assertions ?.
The thing is useless. My Gamecube is sitting in limbo on my shelf. PS3 should finally kill of nintendo once and for all. I simply dont see Nintendo changing their ways. Afterall look at their new lame dual screened handheld system. It looks slapped together and dated.
Then look at Sony's handheld offering. The PSP is sleak, incredible games etc.
I think at E3 2006, Nintendo will be annoucing their own death.
What the hell do you want? Me to mail you the dead PS2s? How is factual accounts of dead machines which back up the the original poster qualify as ancedotal?
Wow, overrated again? Not even off-topic? Editors, your moderation system is now officially DESIGNED to be abused.
>Looks like E3 2005 is going to be a biggy
Let me get this straight -- Slashdot is announcing that the BBC has announced that Sony has announced that it will be making an announcement at an industry tradeshow in May 2005... and this is something I should get excited about?
