Sony: launch PS3 in the spring

Posted on Tuesday, 7 February 2006 by Devilke, source: kotaku
For some reason, Sony keeps saying their nextgen console, the PS3, will be in the shops this spring. However, there is no doubt that Europe will have to be patient for a long time:

On Friday, Yahoo News Japan reported that EA’s CEO said the PlayStation 3 would be on sale between October and December. Sony promptly denied this, stating that their machine would be out this spring, but haven’t yet decided on a final launch date.

So they are only thinking about the right date. A little calculation: we are now February and spring is until June. That makes four months to plan everything, buy media space, hire people, plan promotions, develop games and finish them.

There is not much time left if you ask me, but hey, bring it on!

Yeah the guy above me is right, There is no way the PS3 is going to come out this spring. And Blu-Ray makes things look good, It costs $100.00.

I luv the way u dismiss Blu-Ray & Bluetooth as if they are nothing - Blu-Ray is the next BIG thing in movie & games - Blu-Ray means HUGE game environments, maps & absolute next-gen High def visuals. I can only imagine how stunning the next Grand Theft Auto game is going to look & play on the PS3.


Yea HUGE game enviroments coming at a HUGE cost to us. Also we have been living with less then 6gb dvds/cds forver with amazing games and graphics, just because we now have 20+ gb to work with doesnt mean better games. In fact I think most companies will have a hard time filling all that space.
