PS3 Production 'In Full Swing'
1up is reporting on comments from Phil Harrison, saying that the PS3 is in full production mode. There are apparently already 10,000 devkits out there, and something like 100 games in the pipe already for the console. From the article: "Sounds pretty much like the usual rah-rah, go-team kind of stuff you'd expect to hear before a major system launch, but mentions of third-party support become far more interesting when you learn that many folks, both within Sony and without, are apparently 'scared of the wrath of Phil Harrison,' according to a Guardian source. Are third-party developers as excited and supportive as Harrison would have us believe, or are they just scared of receiving a Sony-flavored beat down?"
Developer's PS3's all catching on fire, sony claims lack of fans...
Did someone say cake?
Why exactly would they be afraid of Phil Harrison? I mean, what's Harrison going to do, throw a chair at them?

"Just a few more best buy gift cards this birthday, christmas, next birthday, next christmas, selling my ps2, and my blow up brad pitt doll, and I'll be able to afford it!"
My sources tell me that it's better than that, that there's a huge surprise in store for PS3 buyers.
Sit down - because you may find this one difficult to believe. But it's 100% true.
Every PS3 will come with a $2,000 coupon towards a brand new Sony plasma TV. And yes, if you use the coupon toward a TV costing less than $2,000 (and Sony markets three, right now, and that's going by MSRP, so you can find many more), the TV is free.
So for $600, you not only get the best console, but you get a high quality television as part of the bargain.
Oh, and one more thing.
Yes, the PS3 will come with Linux. But it will also come with Mac OS X. Sony's the first company since 1996 to license the Macintosh operating system. You can't get better than that.
