LOS ANGELES--Today saw the second of the big three console makers announce its next-generation platform. At its pre-E3 press conference, Sony Computer Entertainment gave the world its first look at the PlayStation 3, as it now is officially called. While the device's price has not yet been set, its release window--spring 2006--has. Flanked by Sony Computer Entertainment America President and CEO Kaz Hirai, SCE head Ken Kutaragi introduced it as a "supercomputer for computer entertainment."

The name was not unexpected, since Sony had been running an extensive teaser-ad campaign prepping the public for the PlayStation 3. The company had laid a blanket of posters around the Los Angeles Convention Center, site of the Electronic Entertainment Expo (aka E3). Bus stalls and billboards around the convention center proclaimed "Prepare for Chang3" in the distinctive PlayStation font with partial shots of the Dual Shock controller's square-circle-triangle-X buttons.

Sony also confirmed the PlayStation 3 will use Blu-ray discs as its media format. The discs can hold up to six times as much data as current-generation DVDs. It will also support CR-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD+R formats. Sony also confirmed the machine would be backward compatible all the way to the original PlayStation. It will also have slots for Memory Stick Duo, an SD slot, and a compact flash memory slot. It will also sport a slot for a detachable 2.5-inch HDD, somewhat similar the Xbox 360's. Sony did not mention if the drive would be standard.

Sony also laid out the technical specs of the device. The PlayStation 3 will feature the much-vaunted Cell processor, which will run at 3.2GHz, giving the whole system 2 teraflops of overall performance. It will sport 256MB XDR main RAM at 3.2GHz, and it will have 256MB of GDDR VRAM at 700MHz.

Sony also unveiled the PS3's graphics chip, the RSX "Reality Synthesizer," which is based on Nvidia technology. The GPU will be capable of 128bit pixel precision, 1080p resolution, some of the highest HD resolution around. The RSX also has 512MB of graphics render memory and is capable of 100 billion shader operations and 51 billion dot products per second. It also has more than 300 million transistors, larger than any processor commercially available today. It will be manufactured using the 90nm process, with eight layers of metal. The RSX is more powerful than two GeForce 6800 Ultra video cards, which would cost roughly $1,000 total if purchased today. The PlayStation 3 will also sport some hefty multimedia features, such as video chat, Internet access, digital photo viewing, and digital audio and video. Speaking of video, Sony Computer Entertainment's Chief Technical Officer Masa Chatani was on hand to show off the PS3's panoramic video functions. Since the console has two HD outputs, it is can be hooked up to two side-by-side HDTVs to projecting video in a 32:9 extra-widescreen format (think Cinemascope in your living room). Like a gigantic version of the Nitnendo DS, the dual digital outputs also allow for an extended game display, with the action on one screen and either game information or video chat on the second.

Out of the box, the PS3 will have the capability to support seven Bluetooth controllers, which can be used for nearly 24 hours before they require charging. It will also have six USB slots for peripherals: four up front and two in the back. As rumored, it will also have Wi-Fi connectivity to the PSP, which can be used as a remote screen and/or controller.

Dr. Richard Marx, the inventor of EyeToy, was on hand to show off the PS3's wireless HD IP Camera. The demo, recalled rumors that the machine will have Minority Report-esque motion-sensing capabilities. Marx held two small cup-like objects in his hands, which move the cups on the screen in real time.

To show off the PlayStation 3's graphical brawn, Sony showed several game demos, including an Unreal 3 engine show-off of what appeared to be Unreal Tournament 2007. In what must come as a relief to developers, Epic Games' Tim Sweeney was on hand to vouch for the PS3, saying it was "easy to program for" and that Epic had received its first PS3 hardware two months ago. He proved the tech demo was real time by showing it again and by manipulating the camera and zooming in.

However, Sweeney's words were only the beginning. Later, Sony trotted out a whole host of publishers that are backing the PlayStation 3. And in the process, it confirmed several games for the console. Hideo Kojima introduced Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Capcom showed off Devil May Cry 4, Namco unveiled Tekken 6, Polyphony Digital trotted out a fifth Gran Turismo, SCEE showed off the next Killzone, and Rockstar Games mentioned that a Grand Theft Auto would be released for the console.

EA President Larry Probst was also on hand to show off a demonstration of the next Fight Night game, which will presumable be called Fight Night Round 3. When one of the two realistic fighter took a blow, his skin rippled realistically. Kudo Tsonoda from EA's Chicago studio was on hand, and said that the goal is to make facial animation convey the amount of punishment a pugilist has suffered.

While the technology was being used to run an untitled game, it was being used super well. This is important because until this moment, Gears of War, Microsoft's Unreal 3.0 powered third-person shooter, was the best looking Xbox 360 game we've yet seen. And there it is...running on PS3

No idea but these systems are so powerful that they blow the current PCs out of the water.

In all honestly I would probably guess these systems are going to start at like 500 american. Thats just a guess. Generally Nintendo\Sony\Microsoft have taken a hit when it comes to what they sell the hardware at. IIRC i think MS was losing like 100 bucks a system when xbox was launched. or i could be totally wrong.

It's a step up from Xbox because there will be some engineering and tweaking since they aren't fucking americans like microsoft. FUCK MICROSOFT.

Anywho...

The specs are nice, but having a shitload of great components won't get you an amazing machine neccesarily(sp?help lani). let's think of the Xbox and Gamecube as cars. (I don't know anything about cars but it'll do). The xbox has the best parts, and all ya boyz are like "yea boy that's poppin fresh dawg". And the gamecube car has a team of crack japanese engineers with a tight budget buidling a precise car with not as good of parts.

Now the day of the big race (they're racing for pinks like in grease) the xbox and gamecube show up and everyone's like "yo man that's whack shit the xbox is gonna own shit up yall". The vixen waves her flag and the two cars go. Lo and behold, the xbox and gamecube cars are evenly matched in speed and performance! NO WAY!? No one can believe it. And so they race furiously and it comes back a tie. they both performed equally as well but the xbox had to use twice the rpm to get to the same performance. And it got really hot and nearly burnt up, not to mention it was a heavy clunky piece of shit.

And so the moral of the story is...
The xbox and gamecube both perfomally equally as well, only the gamecube runs at a "lower rpm" and the xbox a higher one. And the japanese engineers got laid. Big time.

Yeah! I hope it's released in Japan first! :wink:

As for that controller...I'll have to feel it before drawing any firm conclusions, but from the looks of it...

Sadly, that tekken FMV pales in comparison to the FMVs done by Tecmo for Ninja Gaiden :P

Honestly, Gears of War looked cool, but the bigger impressive games are probably going to be DOA4, which looks incredible again, and Ninety Nine Nights, which looks incredible...and can render battlefields larger than Dynasty Warriors in full view and without memory issues....

In game footage supposedly. The only in game video I've seen is just as detailed...and it's of a few hundred troops being blown to shit.
