PS3 Release Date
Sony today has confirmed that the PS3 will launch worldwide in November 2006. Finally, they're realising that the .eu market is a significant one (last year video games made more money than movies in the uk!).
The console will also require a seperately sold 60gig hard disk that (not surprisingly) runs a linux variant o/s, and is used for retro compatibility, game saves/downloads, online functions, and as a home server (I presume for digital media).
Allegedly, Sony has told all it's developers to develop games "as if all ps3's have the hard disk installed".
So if you're thinking of grabbing the console in November, don't forget the HDD.
The PS3 will also feature an Xbox-Live! like function, that enables players to see their who's online and what they're up to, and can invite each other to games. VERY similar to Live! if you ask me, which IMHO is the best thing about the 360, it's Live! function is amazingly good.
So, excited yet? I for one am not. For some reason, I just don't like PlayStations. I know I've got a PSP, but that's a handheld, and to be honest I have yet to enjoy more than 2 games on it (Lumines, and Exit are the only good 2).
Do I get one? Do I not?
Well it all depends on May and E3 and what the big N has got to show us when it finally reveals the Revolution. I'm definitely NOT owning all 3, and last time I had the Xbox and Gamecube. So perhaps I should get the PS3, just for a change..... and to play those few classics I've missed out on from the PS2 era.
Decisions, decisions........

ooooohh boy oh boy!
have to concede the new generation looks all good..
will have wait a couple of years till it gets hacked and 'chipped before i buy one..
unless i'm outta here and on the other side of the globe, tho. then that's a whole other story. or is it?
anyway: i love the machine, i love the things that will come out on it.. ay yay.
ps: can u "send" me the chemical brother's "music response"

sorry.
am not that fussed about chipped consoles any more ya know. Thing is, all 3 nextgens are majorly online based, so chipping them will mean not taking them online (if the current ps2/xbox live are anything to go by), so there's no point for me to get em chipped, cos it ruins the fun bit :)
one music response coming up - great track :)
ps: am emailing to frantic_adATyahooDOTcom
thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaank you...
all hail the great SoB, saviour of mankind, devourer of evil, defender of the faith, the big cheese, the scourge of malta...erm.. bit carried away there.

like i said: hope to be in a "clean" country where i wont have to chip the ps3 when i get one.. ahhhh..
