some of the demos looked good but nothing *blew* the 360 away.

online portion -- stolen from live
controller motion sensing -- stolen from nintendo

pretty damn expensive for a console IMHO... ]]>May 8th 2006 11:01PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/
Truly, nothing impressed me. Their online setup...is just like Xbox live. The grand tourismo, which made it look like he was playing...he was NOT playing. That was clearly a pre-rendered movie...there is no way the video would cut out like that when he goes around a corner, you wouldnt be able to drive.

What also disappointed me, was the F1 game. The video that floated before showed it being ALOT nicer looking, and what is with that PSP as a rear view mirror? Who is going to look at that? Especially if you are playing on a big screen HD TV. Why dont they give me working mirrors like PGR3?

And that is that. :) ]]>May 8th 2006 11:06PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/May 8th 2006 11:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/May 8th 2006 11:29PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/
- The GTHD demo was realtime, but the guy wasn't playing it. The GT series is big on the replay mode, which is all this was. Basically the demo was proof of concept - here's what can be done in a limited amount of time using existing icap, just wait until we really start developing, etc. etc.
- The system is expensive. But, note that a Mac mini starts at 599. They sell just fine. The comparison is off, admittedly, but the point stands: if you have a normal job, 599 isn't going to wreck your expenses. For 16-year-old Billy, it might be more of a challenge. Either way, Sony won't have a problem moving units.
- Notably, only the 60GB model has HDMI out- odd, considering at one point the PS3 was spec'd to have 2xHDMI out. (Per http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/060509ae.pdf)
- Motion sensing controllers are nothing new - ever use a gyroscopic mouse? Nintendo's innovative twist is that it operates in 3D space. Sony's does not and calling it a copy is disingenuous at best. Microsoft is suddenly in the position of being the odd man out, and you can bet they will be playing catchup on the controller front ASAP, just watch.
- Since when was HD Beat a blog about video games? What we have here is a Blu-ray player that isn't $1000. That should make the video dorks in all of us happy :)]]>May 8th 2006 11:33PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/

The E3 2K6 Trailer mid way down]]>May 9th 2006 1:08AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/May 9th 2006 8:19AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/
This week I popped a DVD into my PS2. The color sucked and it crashed 60 minutes into the movie (like it always does). I won't be duped by Sony twice.

Just having a blu-ray logo on the box doesn't mean it should replace a more reliable component for plating movies. Games are another story.]]>May 9th 2006 8:54AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/05/08/sony-playstation-3-conference-details/
They were obviously a movie, something they could have done before. I do not think they were CGI, but, they made it look like he was going to play the game, when he was obvious he was not.

There were plenty of other items that were not only being played live, but were playable on the floor by everybody.]]>May 9th 2006 1:32PM
