Make that Euro site. ;)

Anyway, very nice close-up, shiny piccies here. Uber pricey PS3 looks totally awesome, gimme now please... Dammit, I'm not going to be able to buy any games for 360, DS and Wii until PS3 launch if I'm to be able to afford all the hardwares. :-?
 
Not much new there, but tucked away in the FAQ (under About) is this, which I don't think they have addressed before:

11. How do I save my Playstation2 Memory Card information to Playstation3?

To use saved data on a Playstation 2 memory card, you must copy the data onto a virtual memory card within the hard disk. This requires a PS2/PSone memory card adaptor to copy the data to your Playstation 3. A memory card adaptor is designed to edit, up/download game saves to and from EMS flash card or smart media card.

Obvious, but good news. Not entirely sure what the last sentence is going on about, but I guess the idea is you'll be able to transfer game saves to and from the memory card and HDD/removeable media using that adaptor.
 
Ah I missed that, sounds like good news to those complaining about losing their saves.
Hope the adaptor isnt too expensive.
 
I shouldn't have clicked the link. I shouldn't have perused the website. But it's too late now. I've read this and have chucked up my last three meals, such was the strength of the PR...
With this increased power, game developers can create games that shift artificial intelligence to actual intelligence. Breakthroughs in fidelity, believability, and hyper-reality enabled by the raw power of the Cell processor provide limitless experiences.

Any US buyers should after a while sue Sony for advertising the console as having actual intelligence, following XB360 owners suing MS for not providing experiences like lucid dreams. Will Nintendo alone avoid the PR companies' nonsense? Or can we expect mad hyperbole from that camp too? And where are PR compnaies going to be in 5 years time? They've exhausted all the hyperbole possible. I guess they'll just start stringing more and more adjectives together.

Where's a *barf* smilie?

It'd have been nice if they allowed a USB linkup. Still, one adaptor could be shared around a number of friends, or picked up cheap off eBay after it's been used. It's not like people will want to hang onto them.

I have a feeling it will be USB, and not just a converter from ps1/ps2 MC to smart media card. I might be mistaken but wouldnt that cut out the $500 dollar ps3 buyers if it were not USB?

Yes, this is an official Sony website so they are asking for it. Your may find your answers and follow up action here:

The standard complaint form seems to be for id theft and fraud though.

To me Nintendo did start their PR campain. They are crazy with the way view the current state of games and how much their new controller will change everything.

I think we will receive alot of PR.

Oh and here's your "barf" face

dunno about the barf icon, but where the heck is my standard wifi?

Both solutions include Blu-ray the latest standard in high-definition video, Bluetooth, four USB ports, 1080p video, and the world’s most powerful microprocessor, the Cell. Additionally, the $599 solution includes HDMI, memory stick, secure digital and compact flash readers, Wi-Fi, and a 60GB hard disk drive (HDD), the $499 system comes with a 20GB HDD.

It's standard for the $599 version. :D Or did you want to pay that extra $100 for only a Wi-Fi card? :LOL:

how about wifi being standard across the models?
apparently if you don't need the HDMI then wifi will come at a $100 premium for you. thanks a lot.

Well actually you also get 40 extra gigabits of hard drive space with that WiFi. And why is this hurting you so much? Do you find 40 extra gigs not worthy? :???:

maybe because i don't share the 'get extra at a bargain price' mentality? if i want just a bottle of water and it costs a buck i don't buy two just because they come at $1.75.

is it too much to expect a $500 console to come with wifi? no, i don't want the extra 40GB of disk space, nor the HDMI, nor the flash card reader.
