E3 06: Links

Μετά το pre-show press conference της Sony.

So if you wanted to be a cynic, you could say that this is a wireless PS2 controller with analog triggers like the Xbox, a central guide button like the Xbox 360, and internal motion sensors like the Wii. But what’s probably most important is that the controller feels pretty nice and already seems to work well.

The 20GB will retail for $499 in the US (59800 yen in Japan, 499 euros in Europe), and the 60GB model will retail for $549 (open price in Japan, 599 euros in Europe). Sony expects to ship two million units in its first month of launch, four million by the end of the year, and six million by the end of its fiscal year, which ends in March 31.

As it turns out, a little examining of Sony’s announcement press release reveals the $499 model will lack support for Memory Sticks, SD and Compact Flash cards, no built-in Wi-Fi and will surprisingly have the HDMI output removed (necessary for achieving the much bragged about 1080p screen resolution).

    Μεγάλη απογοήτευση. 600 Ευρώ?? Είναι τρελλοί; Τη basic έκδοση ούτε καν τη συζητάω επειδή δεν έχει HDMI οπότε οι πολυδιαφημισμένες υψηλές αναλύσεις και οι ισχυρισμοί πως είναι και blue-ray player είναι ουσιαστικά απάτη. Επίσης ο controller είναι ψιλομαλακία. Πιο πολύ μου φαίνεται σαν ένα feautre για να έχει να διαφημίζει κάτι το marketing τμήμα του PS3 παρά κάτι που θα αλλάξει το gaming.

    μην νιώθεις άσχημα. Μπορείς να κοιμηθείς. :)
