I add that someone at Sony called Wii and XB360 overpriced. I cited my source and all. Can I put it back in?-- [[User:NFAN3|NFAN3 "I try so hard to be a Uber Geek!"~Jason Fox]] 11:50, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
can we get rid of this stupid image? it doesn't add any usable information, and makes this look like a porn page. I know wikipedia's not censored, but it doesn't add anything here. The box art is highly irrelevant. relevant images, in my opinion, would be nvidia shader examples, and although it introduces bias into which one, impressive game renders. -- 24.7.86.143 05:43, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
First, I should point out that I made a change to the System Features table in the Playstation 3 article page. I made an adjustment that agreed with the requirements of Thax. The problem is that for some reason, my adjustment keeps referring to a "Template." If you can fix this, I would appreciate it.
I would like to say one other thing: The type of cables included with a videogame system are very important, and we need to keep people as well informed as possible at all times. Sony has only made one official announcement about the cables that will be included with the Playstation 3: Sony has officially said that there will be no high-definition cables of any kind included with the Playstation 3. There will not be an HDMI cable capable of carrying a high-definition signal, and there will not be a Component cable capable of carrying a high-definition signal. At this point in time, it would be irresponsible of us to not allow people to be aware of this publicly announced fact. Even if this information does not appear in the System Features table, as I believe it should, this information about absolutely no form of high-definition cable being included with the Playstation 3 should definitely appear in the article about the Playstation 3. You can read about this cable information at this reference: [1] Mike mgoblue 19:42, 12 September 2006 (UTC) mike_mgoblue
let's keep this concise. -- gatoatigrado 04:41, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Better yet, leave the whole thing out. I think it's best to present the console with its current achievements and merits, and let consumers decide if they want one console or another, multiple consoles, or no consoles. On second thought, a small note would be fine. All of the refutes I provided above perhaps give too much emphasis to one point. Avoid exact production numbers, we don't know for now. Leave the controller vibration issue for the other page. Compared to Microsoft (wifi cuts and hard drive cut for lower model), I think the ps3's loss of dual hdmi is rather irrelevant. Neither needs any mention though. -- gatoatigrado 04:37, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
revision 1
The high launch price of the PS3 has been subjected to criticism from analysts and developers.
The console has repeatedly been delayed, from Spring 2006 (ref) to November 17 (ref) and then for European customers to Spring 2007. Also, fewer PS3 consoles will be available at launch(ref) than originally expected (ref).
Criticism of the price by developers and/or publishers have been very few, so they're not quite worthy of mentioning. In fact, some publishers like Midway and Bandai Namco said it's reasonable at launch (and only at launch). I would certainly say that analyst and gamer crticism would be an appropriate addition, simply because it's been covered quite a bit. This isn't a brand new product per se, it's the successor of the most popular console of all time, and therefore the pricing issue is valid. But everything else, including dual HDMI and whatnot, aren't, simply because any piece of hardware is subject to change prior to its release. Consumer criticism based on one random article isn't quite valid in my opinion simply because the competitors to the console rely on sequels (or popular games) as well. The Wii is launching with a Zelda, while the Xbox 360's most anticipated game is Halo 3. That's not to say that the three consoles are void of original IP's. The source article cited did just that, with no mention of some of the origianl games that the PS3 library contains (Resistance, Eye of Judgement, Heavenly Sword etc.) , and simply mentioned original Wii titles. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.12.150.231 ( talk • contribs) .

I've read on ps3land.com that the new controller may be named the sixaxis because of the six different mediums of determining motion. No one has confirmed it yet but the name has been trademarked by SONY. Jasper 17:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

yes you can rent. what you have to understand is there are huge numbers of scare tactics and false rumors by people who want the PS3 to fail. They only need 1 of these rumors to pass onto a guy who doesnt have the internet to correct the misgiving and they lose 1 sale. In 2 months all will be revealed, every single detail so there is no point worrying about all these incredible news that keep popping up and just wait.
Are you sure? I heard that they thought about taking the idea out....but it would delay the launch....So yeah, you CAN'T rent games. the bird 66.154.192.129 15:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

The keynote description doesn't sound all too impressive (Gs writer), especially with the one trailer being Afrika not really showing what the games about. But I know there's some good news.

"7:22: A question on why HDMI only is in the high level version of the PS3 only. Kutaragi explains that sony was worried that if they put the HDMI in the lower version, some would complain about having to pay for something they don't want. However, HDMI penetration has come faster than expected. He then asks people if they want HDMI in all models. Everyone in the audience says yes. He then confirms that all models, including the 20 gig version, will have an HDMI port."
Not composite.. it's component because you can use just one cable of the component to fit as composite. This is already made on Xbox 360 Premium. I really doubt the "HD-console" will give stupid composite cables.. this is nonsense. -- Ciao 90 03:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
The table of PS3 features in this article indicates that both "Flavors" of the PS3 will have HDMI ports. But the article states that the 20-GB version will not have one, and that this may interfear with high resolution playback of Blu-Ray discs.
This is important, because the PS3 will be the cheapest blu-ray player on the market at time of launch (probably). This would be the primary reason for me to buy one, although I will do some gaming. I don't think I'd need a 60GB hard drive otherwise.

I have been told to assume good faith, but the tables and stuff are completely messed up. I suggest reverting to [10]. We decided earlier not to use a table for the game because of the issue of "exclusives", and now with the cquote inside it and headers floating all the **** over, I think it's time to go back to the previous version. The additional criticism is undue weight. The criticism section is probably not a good idea... it would certainly be nice to have in the article, but as the article is unlocked now it's just an invitation for xbox 360 fanboys to vandalize the page. -- 24.7.86.143 20:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

I wanted to add a link to Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire on the list of games as the Gundam franchise, while often underwhelming, has nonetheless been a staple of Sony systems for several years, and has a large following. However, it seems that there isn't yet a Wikipedia page about this game. Is there anyone out there who feels qualified to write up a quick blurb? I could do it, but I don't know all that much about the game yet aside from what's in the trailers. 129.128.233.48 23:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

So it's true. The PS3 will have $80 games.
Link:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/734/734950p1.html
Here's what this new article has to say:
QUOTE: "In Japan, the standard price of a PS2 game is 6,800 yen, with only the biggest titles like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy rising to the 8,800 yen mark."
QUOTE: "To most gamers, the most eye-catching part of the feature is a claim about game prices. Citing "multiple information sources," the article states that the price of PS3 games will be concentrated in the 8,800 to 9,800 yen range."
Math Time:
6,800 Yen - $58.00 US (PS2 game price)
8,800 Yen = $75.50 US
9,800 Yen - $85.00 US
So $75 for the low end games and $85 for the good stuff.
The Japanese always pay a little more for games than we do. But its only a little. So its reasonable to say that PS3 games will range between $70 and $80 US*.

Okay thank you Dancter, also I would have deleted the previous statement but everytime I edit out some of my points I make on discussions I seem to get banned....Anyway, thank you. thebird 71.236.225.50 02:50, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
While I have to admit, the PS3's price is too high. That dosen't deterr me from not buying (i've actually been saving up for a while though) but here's the thing that most people dont understand. The reason this thing is so god damned expensive is because of Blu-Ray. Now people tell me "so Sony should just drop the Blu-Ray feature". If they did that, then the games wouldn't look as good as they would. In addition, no one said that if you want the Playstation 3, you HAVE to buy it on launch day. I bought an Xbox 360 almost a year after it came out for almost $200 off of the original price (bought a used one from EB Games).

Currently the Playstation 3 table has ONCE AGAIN experienced an alteration where it does not show fact-based information that is very important to gamers. The Playstation 3 will NOT include an HDMI cable, and it will NOT include a Component cable. This means that the Playstation 3 is not capable of displaying high-definition graphics out-of-the-box! This is an important factor. Please do not allow this information to be taken out of the table again. I am not going to waste time or life adding that AGAIN. Please add that information to the table and do not allow it to be removed. Here is the reference that shows Sony has announced that neither version of the Playstation 3 will come with any form of high-definition cable: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6157113.html 68.61.44.215 22:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)mike_mgoblue
well, if no one is going to convert them - i don't know how - the us prices should be removed. I think that was the consensus we reached above. -- gatoatigrado 05:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
One question I have is, there was some news about the $499 price point being changed to $425 -- any sources for this? -- Stratadrake 03:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Does a paragraph like this really belong in the system configuration section? Initially it had some purpose when the lack of HDMI was problem HD playback but now it just seems out of place. Should we eliminate it, move to a another article, what? -- Kenn Caesius 16:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Execs for Microsoft have confirmed that the 360 is capable of HDMI-supported digital out, and that an HDMI cable outputting 1080p for movies (games are already done via Component) is completely possible for Xbox 360. They just don't think there's enough HDMI on the market to warrant releasing the cable. [18] So PS3 and 360 are in the same boat- you just have to buy an HDMI cable for 1080p movies. That means that this bit needs to be in for BOTH consoles, because neither can support 1080p on next-gen DVDs without it. gspawn 11:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The high launch price of the PS3 has been subjected to criticism from analysts and developers.
The console has repeatedly been delayed, from Spring 2006 (ref) to November 17 (ref) and then for European customers to Spring 2007. Also, fewer PS3 consoles will be available at launch(ref) than originally expected (ref).
Criticism of the price by developers and/or publishers have been very few, so they're not quite worthy of mentioning. In fact, some publishers like Midway and Bandai Namco said it's reasonable at launch (and only at launch). I would certainly say that analyst and gamer crticism would be an appropriate addition, simply because it's been covered quite a bit. This isn't a brand new product per se, it's the successor of the most popular console of all time, and therefore the pricing issue is valid. But everything else, including dual HDMI and whatnot, aren't, simply because any piece of hardware is subject to change prior to its release.

I changed White Knight Story from an action game to an RPG, and Devil May Cry 4 from a shooter to Action, We should fill the shooter list with Coded Arms, Turok, Medal of Honor: Airborne, etc...
I thought PS4 had its own article. Now its being redirected to PS3. I wonder why... Sr13 08:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the edit. Sr13 04:09, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
I have been told to assume good faith, but the tables and stuff are completely messed up. I suggest reverting to [10]. We decided earlier not to use a table for the game because of the issue of "exclusives", and now with the cquote inside it and headers floating all the **** over, I think it's time to go back to the previous version. The additional criticism is undue weight. The criticism section is probably not a good idea... it would certainly be nice to have in the article, but as the article is unlocked now it's just an invitation for xbox 360 fanboys to vandalize the page. -- 24.7.86.143 20:04, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Lock this page please. More vandalism 68.23.178.54 20:28, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
I wanted to add a link to Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire on the list of games as the Gundam franchise, while often underwhelming, has nonetheless been a staple of Sony systems for several years, and has a large following. However, it seems that there isn't yet a Wikipedia page about this game. Is there anyone out there who feels qualified to write up a quick blurb? I could do it, but I don't know all that much about the game yet aside from what's in the trailers. 129.128.233.48 23:12, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Can someone please change the PS 3 picture at the top of the page? There are a lot of better pictures out there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Einstein the afrodude ( talk • contribs) 03:24, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
okay, I see that it is probably coming. I didn't see a release date though. I hope the screenshots improve; they aren't very good right now. -- 24.7.86.143 04:30, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
So it's true. The PS3 will have $80 games.
Link:
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/734/734950p1.html
Here's what this new article has to say:
QUOTE: "In Japan, the standard price of a PS2 game is 6,800 yen, with only the biggest titles like Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy rising to the 8,800 yen mark."
QUOTE: "To most gamers, the most eye-catching part of the feature is a claim about game prices. Citing "multiple information sources," the article states that the price of PS3 games will be concentrated in the 8,800 to 9,800 yen range."
Math Time:
6,800 Yen - $58.00 US (PS2 game price)
8,800 Yen = $75.50 US
9,800 Yen - $85.00 US
So $75 for the low end games and $85 for the good stuff.
The Japanese always pay a little more for games than we do. But its only a little. So its reasonable to say that PS3 games will range between $70 and $80 US*.

Okay thank you Dancter, also I would have deleted the previous statement but everytime I edit out some of my points I make on discussions I seem to get banned....Anyway, thank you. thebird 71.236.225.50 02:50, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
While I have to admit, the PS3's price is too high. That dosen't deterr me from not buying (i've actually been saving up for a while though) but here's the thing that most people dont understand. The reason this thing is so god damned expensive is because of Blu-Ray. Now people tell me "so Sony should just drop the Blu-Ray feature". If they did that, then the games wouldn't look as good as they would. In addition, no one said that if you want the Playstation 3, you HAVE to buy it on launch day. I bought an Xbox 360 almost a year after it came out for almost $200 off of the original price (bought a used one from EB Games).

Currently the Playstation 3 table has ONCE AGAIN experienced an alteration where it does not show fact-based information that is very important to gamers. The Playstation 3 will NOT include an HDMI cable, and it will NOT include a Component cable. This means that the Playstation 3 is not capable of displaying high-definition graphics out-of-the-box! This is an important factor. Please do not allow this information to be taken out of the table again. I am not going to waste time or life adding that AGAIN. Please add that information to the table and do not allow it to be removed. Here is the reference that shows Sony has announced that neither version of the Playstation 3 will come with any form of high-definition cable: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6157113.html 68.61.44.215 22:15, 29 September 2006 (UTC)mike_mgoblue
well, if no one is going to convert them - i don't know how - the us prices should be removed. I think that was the consensus we reached above. -- gatoatigrado 05:25, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
One question I have is, there was some news about the $499 price point being changed to $425 -- any sources for this? -- Stratadrake 03:32, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Does a paragraph like this really belong in the system configuration section? Initially it had some purpose when the lack of HDMI was problem HD playback but now it just seems out of place. Should we eliminate it, move to a another article, what? -- Kenn Caesius 16:46, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Execs for Microsoft have confirmed that the 360 is capable of HDMI-supported digital out, and that an HDMI cable outputting 1080p for movies (games are already done via Component) is completely possible for Xbox 360. They just don't think there's enough HDMI on the market to warrant releasing the cable. [18] So PS3 and 360 are in the same boat- you just have to buy an HDMI cable for 1080p movies. That means that this bit needs to be in for BOTH consoles, because neither can support 1080p on next-gen DVDs without it. gspawn 11:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
