Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. to Launch Its Next Generation Computer Entertainment System, in Spring 2006  
Monday May 16, 7:30 pm ET  
Unrivaled Performance With the Introduction of Cell Processor and Many Advanced Technologies, and Backwards Compatible With PlayStation(R) and PlayStation(R)2  
 
LOS ANGELES, May 16 /PRNewswire/ -- At a press conference held in Los Angeles, California, today, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) revealed the outline of its PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3) computer entertainment system, incorporating the world's most advanced Cell processor with super computer like power. Prototypes of PS3 will also be showcased at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the world's largest interactive entertainment exhibition held in Los Angeles, from May 18th to 20th.  
 
PS3 combines state-of-the-art technologies featuring Cell, a processor jointly developed by IBM, Sony Group and Toshiba Corporation, graphics processor (RSX) co-developed by NVIDIA Corporation and SCEI, and XDR memory developed by Rambus Inc. It also adopts BD-ROM (Blu-ray Disc ROM) with maximum storage capacity of 54 GB (dual layer), enabling delivery of entertainment content in full high-definition (HD) quality, under a secure environment made possible through the most advanced copyright protection technology. To match the accelerating convergence of digital consumer electronics and computer technology, PS3 supports high quality display in resolution of 1080p(*) as standard, which is far superior to 720p/1080i.  
 
With an overwhelming computing power of 2 teraflops, entirely new graphical expressions that have never been seen before will become possible. In games, not only will movement of characters and objects be far more refined and realistic, but landscapes and virtual worlds can also be rendered in real- time, thereby elevating the freedom of graphics expression to levels not experienced in the past. Gamers will literally be able to dive into the realistic world seen in large screen movies and experience the excitement in real-time.  
 
In 1994, SCEI launched the original PlayStation® (PS), followed by PlayStation®2 (PS2) in 2000 and PlayStation®Portable (PSP®) in 2004, every time introducing the latest advancement in technology and bringing innovation to interactive entertainment software creation. Over 13,000 titles have been developed by now, creating a software market that sells more than 250 million copies annually. PS3 offers backward compatibility enabling gamers to enjoy these enormous assets from PS and PS2 platforms.  
 
PlayStation family of products are sold in more than 120 countries and regions around the world. With cumulative shipments reaching more than 102 million for PS and approximately 89 million for PS2, they are the undisputed leaders and have become the standard platform for home entertainment. After 12 years from the introduction of the original PS and 6 years from the launch of PS2, SCEI brings PS3, the newest platform with the most advanced next generation computer entertainment technology.  
 
With the delivery of Cell based development tools that has already begun, development of game titles as well as tools and middleware are in progress. Through collaboration with world's leading tools and middleware companies, SCEI will offer full support to new content creation by providing developers with extensive tools and libraries that will bring out the power of the Cell processor and enable efficient software development.  
 
Preparations are under way for launch of PS3 and new generation software in the spring of 2006.

Design and specifications are subject to change without notice »

Je trouve que c'est un bel objet, pas tape à l'oeil mais c'est aussi peu pratique à intégrer qu'une XBox 360... M'enfin, avec l'une convexe et l'autre concave, on va au moins pouvoir s'amuser à les empiler  

 
 
Ne pas sombrer dans la parano, ça ne sert à rien. Pas mal de gens la trouvent moche, c'est comme ça  

 
c'est parce qu'elle est hyper moche la xbx 360    
 
je suis un peu décu par le design de la PS3, tres classique et sans surprise... m,enfin bon contrairement a la XbX 360 elle passera inapercu dans mon salon...  

 

 
Ha ha ha vive la xbox koaaaa
 
PSpiderman3
 
 

ouais et pis bon on s'en fout, mes consoles sont dans un meuble , là j'aurai une bonne raison de la mettre dans la cuisine

 
T'avais plus indigeste, surtout à 2 heures du mat' ?

DD + CD-RW et DVD-RW + ethernet comme la 360 elle sera hackée le temps de le dire  

dire !

 
Bah, ça résume les specs....    
 
Avec du blabla commercial mais bon ...

 
Ils se sont donnés le mot !  

bon bonne nuit tt le monde ! Je me lève dans 3 h

Vaut mieux pas en avoir deux : si on les entasse (en tasse... ) l'une sur l'autre, y a gros risque que ça roule

Je préfère encore le design de la xbox 360 ....    
 
elle est finie la conférence sinon ?

la conference n'est pas fini ??
 
et la manette ??

 
Ya pas à iech la XBOX360 a une plus belle gueule

je sais pas si c'est fini ou pas mais la manette devrait en gros etre la même...

De toute façon ce sont des renders, on ne peu même pas juger avec de vraies photos donc c'est dur à dire si elle est moche ou pas.
Perso debout je la trouvais laide, et couchée je trouve que ça va.
 
Vous remarquerez que la PS2 s'est beaucoup fait critiquée pour son côté radiateur, et la Xbox pour son côté grosse brique, alors pas étonant qu'ils sortent des consoles dénuées de fioritures, finalement la 360 et la PS3 se ressemblent un peu.
 
Je trouve ça moins laid que les consoles actuelles en tout cas (y a que la Gamecube qui s'en sort aujourd'hui je trouve), mais bon comme dit au dessus chaqun ses goûts ^^

 
c'est pas de la parano, c'était couru d'avance qu'on allait avoir droit aux bouleteries habituelles lors de l'annonce d'un nouveau produit sony (ou microsoft d'ailleurs). Pour la trouver plus moche que la PS1 ou la PS2 (concernant la PSTwo, ça peut discuter) faut sincérement avoir du c*c* dans les yeux - j'espère juste que l'ont pas se fader 367 pics de frigos ou de cafetière qui encombreront le topic et ne feront rire que les 3 pelés concernés ...

c'est quoi le truc avec square-enix la ??

Je la trouve beaucoup plus jolie que la XBox360 qui ressemble trop à un boitier de PC au look sympa (en gris parce qu'en blanc, bof...). J'aime bien ce look pas tape à l'oeil mais il est vrai qu'il faudra voir cela de visu. Si c'est de l'alu brossé (je rêve...) ce sera la classe, en plastique peint style PSTwo silver ça fera minable...

Je la trouve beaucoup plus jolie maintenant, merci Sony  

c'est a quelle heure la conf xbox ? savoir si je vais me coucher ou pas ^^

 
Tu parles de la démo technique je suppose.
 
J'sais pas, peut-être que cela va être présentépendant le salon.
 
 
 

 
ca vous choque pas plus que ca ??   moi j'ai du mal  

La DC était pas laide, la N64 non plus, la saturn j'adorais, la ps1 aussi. Tout ce qui a suivi est pour moi une succession de mauvais gout

ah ok je croyai ke c'etait maintenant

E3 2005: Getaway PS3 Shown  
Real-time rendering of Getaway shown.  
by Ivan Sulic  
May 16, 2005 - Right now at Sony's E3 2005 press conference, the president of Sony Entertainment Europe is showing The Getaway on PS3.  
 
 
Details are still coming in, but the early word is that the thing is bloody amazing and looks like no digital recreation of London ever has. While the demonstration was devoid of driving or shooting, the game did display some incredible character models walking about a highly detailed English environment. Now, if only the power of PS3 can work out that poor camera just a bit.  
They also ran the computer generated Spider-Man model from the actual Spider-Man 2 movie in real-time on PS3. Amazing

 
 
Regarde plus haut dans le topic, Marc a expliqué que ces chiffres balancés comme ça ne voulaient rien dire sans avoir les restes des specs.

 
 
Pareil  

 
Comme quoi, tous les goûts se discutent (ou plutôt ne se discutent pas) parce que la Saturn, c'était quand même pas terrible. Et la PS1 faisait vachement jouet.

 
C'était peut-être pendant la conférence car il y a eut des démos mais les vidéos ne sont pas dispos.

 
oui mais bon ca fais quand meme un peu mal au Q hin  

De toute façon, la PS3 ne se vendra pas

 
Mais vous etes fou, la Playstation 3 ressemble carrement à RIEN, elle est lisse fade naze pourri kaka proute.
 
La XBOX360 c'est un peu pareil mais elle a un minimun de gueule et de peche par rapport à lautre PSpiderman3
