this year? who knows, that crap always gets delayed.

i'm pretty sure it'll play PS2 games. it will play Blu-ray DVD's, too, and it will be cheaper than a Blu-ray DVD player.

basically a DVD for high-definition recording/playback, that uses a blue laser. holds 50 gigs.

i would guess the PS3 would be faster.

The last I heard, it's due out November to catch the Christmas $$$.

The major hold up is the Blu-Ray. A stand alone Blu-Ray player is being released in the 'Spring' for only $1,800 USD . . . No, that's not a typo.

Those are some very nice pre-rendered cinematics.

That's a very sneaky video. It looks as though they put a few in-game snippets among the FMV.

People are going to be disappointed if they believe that's what the games are actually going to look like.

what the hell was that comment about?!? Hater amung us!

[Earthworm]

Are you referring to me?

"Welcome Change," don't they mean more of the same just a whole lot better looking?

But aside from that the PS3 is looking up to be a good console, I just hope those rumors about potential technical problems I am hearing Sony is having with the CELL processor is not true or else the XBOX360 will have a real game library advantage. And I hope all those rumors about the Eyetoy 2 are true.

But I would still keep an eye on the Nintendo Revolution. And sure, Blue-Ray can currently store 50GB but holographic discs will hopefully be where its at in the future. But they may have competing formats too.

I just watched about half of it and those are not pre rendered. Pre-recorded yes, but rendered RT.

If anyone is interested in the PS3 look up the ign.com Sony Conference video.

It's a 603Mb file, 1hr49min long and shows everything in that short game trailer, and MUCH much more including real time demos of most of the stuff like Unreal Tournament 2007. You can see for yourself the awe-inspiring power of this system (at least in dev mode).

My favorite scene is the FFVII intro remake. (:

There's also a cool demo including Eye Toy, two cups, and a virtual bath tub with LoD.

Oh, okay. Thanks for educating me. I don't know what I'm talking about.

I didn't see it all the way through so some may be prerendered, but the quality of the demos are high enough to confuse anyone.
I'm still trying to figure out whether Mobil Suit Gundam, Tekken 6, and Killzone trailers are real time or not.

I'm pretty sure the Motor Storm bit is prerended. Same for Final Fantasy XII.

The other I'm sure are not.

The HDR and volumetric particle rendering and programmable shading are mighty impressive.

I have a PS2 and a XBox, so I'm done buying consoles for awhile. I'll be buying a new desktop PC soon. Any suggestions? Sorry to hijack.
