SCE interviews (Kutaragi, Kawanishi)
- Thread starter one
- Start date
thanks, one!
now everybody who's ever held a psp will tell you that's outright lame. 'ps3 will be a psp media server, yay! ..only that the wifi-less sku won't'. nice way to sway all those psp owners to the more expensive sku. good job, sony!
well i guess psp users need to organize massive ritual human sacrifices or something - as i don't really see what more sony expect to see from customers so to allow them legally run homebrew on the system
jeez, gotta love that delusional world those suits live in!
[ed: noticed that 4kx2k is only for video playback. still re gaming resolutions, the fact that sony discourage SD output is rather, erm, sucky. in a very marketing-drone kind of way. but whatever makes the suits happy]

Oh yeah but that doesnt mean the RSX could not be downgraded.
More likely they realize specs were old news covered last year and there's no point wasting your time covering old ground when you want to add to people's knowledge of a product and want to tell them about the new stuff or advances from when they last saw your product.NANOTEC said:
MS's dual-SKU system provided different functionality. The HDD-less version couldn't do online gaming, backwards compatibility, play Live! Arcade, or play some games like FFXI and Football Manager. Developers have to ensure their games can run without HDD, which means limiting use of the HDD.pegisys said:
PS3 provides the same functionality, just varying ease as it were. Both units output TV, just one has HDMI. Both can use the internet, just one can do it wirelessly. Both can transfer content to PSP, just one has to do it through USB. And importantly, both provide the HDD for games to use so devs don't have to develop for two different identities. There's nothing limiting about the cheaper PS3. Unless your game takes up over 20 GB of HDD space...
But can be upgraded to become functionally equivalent. The only real difference is the hard drive which was designed to be removable/upgradable.
Not really true. I don't like the PC analogy, because it's not like you can upgrade them to be equivalent. You can't simply add the wifi, hdmi, or memory slots when you want or need them. You have to ditch the whole unit.
The specs change would obviously refer to components such as the connectors, the drives and the like.drpepper said:
There's no need to upgrade the GPU, since the the most graphical intensive applications will be the PS3 games, and these would have to be compatible with the first released consoles.
But we don't intend to mix the PS3 as a game platform and the PS3 in the Linux world.
If that means non-developers won't have enough access to the display to program games, it makes the Linux system of marginal interest. Programmers will have their own computers -- who needs a 3rd rate desktop system?

Because, as Sony keep reiterating, it's a computer, not a consolepegisys said:
Dual output is great for Dual monitor when you surf on one TV and video edit on the other. Same with a 2 GB RAM PS3. I expect future iterations, if they ever materialise, are to aid non-gaming functions, if they ever materialise. Games will still be developed for 512 MB RAM, one Cell, etc., no matter what future flavours of PlayStation appear.
we'll have to see what this means exactly. My personal hope is that they mean this from the support perspective. IE, they won't stop you from making a game in linux if you really want, but sony won't indorse it, won't give you any support if you run into problems, and won't make available any nifty development tools to make your job easier. Further, I expect you won't be able to get onto the sony "live" equivelant network from linux making your game second rate compared to ones that follow the standard.GregLee said:
If Sony is smart, they'll entice developers to pay their license fees rather than forcing them into it via restrictions.

You mean something like PSX3?
It's been suggested that Wifi and Mem cards could be had with the lower cost PS3 via use adapters.
The X360's Wifi is USB so it could be done on PS3 too via Sony or a 3rd party. Usb adapters for mem cards have been out now too.
The only thing left is whether Sony would allow USB HDDs and is there some sort of adapter for Component to HDMI. I've no idea about the later but USB HDDs don't seem out of the question and they would be cheaper than Sony's drives most likely. Sony does state you can buy a larger drive and us that too...from them I assume.
