MaxPayne Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 From GTAGaming PlayStation3 has *just* been unveiled by Sony at their pre-E3 press conference. The machine, which features a convex design not dissimilar to a refridgerator door, has been billed as "twice as powerful as Xbox 360" by Sony. PlayStation 3 Technical Info 3.2Ghz "Cell" Processor 550Mhz "RSX" Graphical Processing Unit 256MB XDR Main RAM @3.2GHz 256MB GDDR3 VRAM @700MHz Detatchable 2.5" Hard Disk Slot In terms of software, Rockstar have confirmed that a Grand Theft Auto title will be released excusively for PlayStation 3. Whether this means it will never appear on Xbox 360/PC is still a mystery. No imagery was released from the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam. Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Rockstar said GTASA was a PS2 exclusive. I do not like the looks of the PS3 but its the quality of the games that count. I can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandlercd_22 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 (edited) I think that the new shape is ok but the color is all wrong. Just like the 360 it should be black and green and the PS3 should be black. Anyways. I cant wait. ***INFO*** heres a link to the page on IGN showing the colors (wich black is included) and the controllers WIH R NEW GOTDAMNIT! http://media.ps3.ign.com/articles/614/614619/imgs_1.html Edited May 17, 2005 by sandlercd_22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliooo Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 THe new design looks very nice in my opinon, although it does seem to look a little weird, but I cat quite put my finger on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 The PS3 will be availible in Silver, Black, and white. Should be a very good console, and the games look like they'll never be beaten For full technical specifications, check out TTPN: PS3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airashii Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Well, that's great news, I think that the console looks fantastic, I love that silver finnish. It's also good to see GTA$ confirmed. Thanks for posting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandlercd_22 Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 not neccesarily. The PSP was rumored to be like 300 before it came out and theyre getting ready to lower it to 200. So yeh itll prolly be alot at first but after its done opening or releasing or whatever itll drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Calling this thing a beast is putting it lightly. That Cell processor, is so fuckin' powerful. Watching the E3 coverage was amazing. During a commercial break, I spazzed. It's SLOWLY growing on me, I still don't fully like the design. The controller, is absolutely HIDEOUS. I HATE it. For all you Xbox Fan-Boys, you have been dealt quite a big plate of PWN. How does it taste? If you don't know why, then go ahead and continue wondering while I gaze with amaze((I know, it should be amazement but that doesn't rhyme)) at the beauty that's named, Playstation 3.

sandlercd_22 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Im ok with the design of the consol itself but the boomerang.....no no no. I might just go and buy a wireless PS2 controller when i get the PS3 and than ill be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, there are FOUR inputs for controllers. Bluetooth, which is what the controllers use. And that supports up to 7. USB 2.0((four of those on the front, two on the back)). WIFI, which is for PSP use. Yes, supposedly you can use the PSP as a controller. Weird. And something about IP. Really weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I ain't a fan of the controller or the way it looks. I was looking at the specs online too. It may be a tad better than the xbox 360, but I'm probably not going to buy it. I'm going for the x box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-BELiEVER- Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I'm already trying to save up for BOTH XBOX 360 and Playstation 3 because I hear that Tony Hawk's American Wasteland will stay on Ps2 but hey, I'm a Sony Fanboy for life plus it's coming out on XBOX 360 so I'm definitely getting that ALONG with Perfect Dark 2. Both their specs seem really advanced, I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew91 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I hope GTA is the launch game with the PS3, could you imagine GTA on that thing. No, you cant imagine it, thats how good it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I can imagine it. And I highly doubt it will be a launch title. Think about it. SA JUST came out last year. The PS3 comes out next year. That's less than two years. Do you really want another rushed GTA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 If I were to play a PS3, I would get mad at a game and end up stabbing myself with the controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
888ball Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 (edited) I think GTA4 will take at least 3 years from this point but then again im not desperate at all for another GTA still got gta 3 to do only 2% left Edited May 20, 2005 by 888ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 If I were to play a PS3, I would get mad at a game and end up stabbing myself with the controller. Same but instead of stabbing I think I will be pleasuring myself That's a joke for you with no sense of sarcasm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Righty Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Then the controller would serve more than 1 function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaz The Great Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 this topic is juss messed up yo;. About as messed up as I'm thinking you are. So, where'd you steal your sig, turtle? Ok, the dildo thing is funny, the stabbing people thing isn't. Because it isn't sharp enough to stab someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edds Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 If they were to create this new GTA game.. I wonder... Will they use up all 54GB disc space of the BD-ROM or just a few GB? (5-10GB) Remember this.. They didn't use the full DVD space for GTA:SA... I'm hoping they take up at least 40GB.. Oh and... Cheers for Sony! For their new and totally awesome console. The PS3 is truly a next generation PlayStation console, with all those features that I can't name, including an online system. Unlike the Xbox 360, I claim it to be more like an Xbox 1.5. It's just like an expansion from the original Xbox. Sorry, Xbox fans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
