PlayStation 3 Press Conference Tonight

Posted by Zonk on from the backstage-betties dept.

The official unveiling of the PlayStation 3 is set to happen tonight, with folks such as the Guardian Gamesblog, Kotaku, and GamesAreFun live blogging the event as it happens. From the Guardian post: "The sign on the way into the Sony Press Conference is big - Wi-Fi access will be only available after the event. They lied - a quick wireless search has found me some access and now I'm on. The clock says 1.00pm but my body says 9pm. By the time Microsoft unveils the 360 again tonight I'll be ready for my cornflakes."

    This will be a real surprize. I do not really know a thing about the ps3 other than its cell proccessor. Will it had a hdd? Will it have internet connectivity? Does anyone know anything about it? Will it connect to a PSP? Will it even be called PS3?
    Does anyone really know anything about it?
    How will it be any differant from the xbox 360? Or the ps2 for that matter, bar the better graphics.

    Is it just me, or is Sony just not seeing that it's nice to have a decent amount of RAM? Sure, it's better than the 32MB that the PS2 has, but honestly, why couldn't they double it to 512MB? I personally would prefer 1GB, if it's going to have high-def games....
