PS3 Details From Sony Game Day

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-let-the-magic-smoke-out-of-the-online-interface dept.

Gamespot has up the record of a liveblog from yesterday's Sony Game day event. They dish a medium-sized helping of dirt, with information like controller price ($50), first-party title price ($60), what is actually in the box, launch window titles, and a bit on what the online experience will offer. From the article: "2:04 p.m.: Hirai says the final boxed product is rolling off the assembly lines as we speak. Then he shows the retail packaging. He says they will have 22 launch-window titles, including games like FEAR, Call of Duty 3, Full Auto 2, Genji: Days of the Blade, NBA Live 07, NBA 2K7, NHL 2K7, Rainbow Six Vegas, Tony Hawk's Project 8, Untold Legends, and Riiidge Racer 7. (Yes, he said 'Riiidge.')" Meanwhile, 1up has some details on the PS3's pre-order status in Japan ... if you're curious. As well you might be, because importing a PS3 is illegal, doncha know.

  1. What "launch window titles" really means by falcon5768 · · Score: 3, Insightful
    That they are not actually comming WITH the launch but possibly weeks later, within the 2 month holiday season.

    I seriously think Sony is going out of it's way to fuck this up, its too comical at this point for them not to be trying at screwing up the launch.

    Because contrary to popular belief, Zonk isn't biased against the PS3?

    This isn't the first and it won't be the last time Zonk posts news about the PS3 without bashing it. It's been stated before and I'll stated again that Zonk can only post what news on the PS3 there is, not what news there isn't. If 90% of that news is bad, which it was for a very long time, he's just the messenger. Shooting him doesn't change what other people report.

    Attacking Zonk is as popular around here as predicting the "inevitable" death of Sony. Both are silly pursuits.

  3. Importing is illegal? by Maul · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So let me get this straight.

    1. Go to Japan.
    2. Buy a bunch of PS3s legally.
    3. Offer to sell these PS3s I purchased legally on my web page to international customers.
    4. Resell the PS3s to people outside of Japan.

    I fail to see how this is illegal, per say. I'm a bit confused.
