Gamepro provide here us with a detailed study over PS3 console that is shipping next month to the kiosks. And after going through the whole long course you will be able to make it out very easily to go for PS3 purchase. The 24 precious specifics ‘Things you need to know about PS3′ will definitely affect your decision to go for PS3. Keeping in mind your valuable time, I’d not go in a much long detail and would like to wrap up it in a little short. So here we go with these keen observations in a nutshell:
• Touch-sensitive power and eject buttons are a nice touch - literally.
The advanced eject and power system on the face of the PS3 is touch-hypersensitive to that of iPods.
• 15,000 kiosks across the nation by the end of November.
As the story has been revealed by the headline, Sony will make available a huge amount of 15,000 kiosks to serve the gamers. Besides delivering the new consoles to the gamers , the kiosks will also update the existing consoles with new contents.
• The PS3 is not just a cheap Blu-ray player
The console is nicely designed to run Blu-ray with sleek formation having red and blue/green LED lights to indicate the system status. The small feet on the left side of the box are quite appropriate to plant the box straight.
• Not all games will be 1080p.
The picture resolution for PS3 will be 1080p not a bit lesser, which will provide the gamers with a high definition visual experience all the way.
• The Sixaxis controller doesn’t feel too light.
The remote controller for the gamepaly i.e. Sixaxisis also equipped with a firm body formation with excellent motion-sensing gestures.
• The PSP will connect via Wi-Fi to the PS3’s hard drive.
While using the PSP as a rear-view mirror in Gran Turismo would necessitate a mutation of controllable limbs. You will be able to access the PS3’s system menus via the PSP, wirelessly, using a feature called ‘Remote Play.’ So PSP will be able to access the PS3’s hard drive from any Wi-Fi spot in the world, rather than just on your local wireless network.
• The Sixaxis gets roughly 30 hours of battery life...
The remote controller for the PS3 will come with good battery backup of up to 30 nonstop hours.
• There’s no ‘lag’ on the wireless Sixaxis controller, either.
The Sixaxis buried with Bluetooth technology in its heart will provide gamers with a smooth, lag-free, and responsive gameplay in wireless mode.
• The Sixaxis’s wireless range tops out at over 65 feet (20 meters).
The controller comes with a wide range of functioning up to 65 feet.
• A new controller will set you back 50 beans.
From the denomination point of view the controller will cost you same as the Xbox’s wireless controller versions.
• Your PlayStation 2 save game files can be transferred to the PS3.
You’ll be able to move over all your saves with the help of an adaptor that costs you extra $14.99. Backwards compatibility in the PS3 is a hardware solution - there’s actually PS2 and PS1 silicon inside that shiny black machine. Because of this, neither the games nor their saves have to be altered to operate on the new system. However the phenomenon you can’t experience with Xbox 360.
• The Blu-ray disc drive is slot loading.
The next-gen console is loaded with all high-tech capability.
• One LED on the PS3 seems dedicated to tracking hard drive activity.
No doubt Sony has designed the console more than gaming box. You can use it as your PC since the box has been gifted with a number of incorporations.
• The first 500,000 PS3s will be packaged with a free Blu-Ray feature film.
The figures are really drastic.....
• There’s still a hard ‘power-off’ switch on the back of the system, just like the PS2.
To shut down the system you will be provided with a knob on the back of the box.
• The PS3 is very, very shiny.
The console comes with a very shiny and radiant surface.
• The PS3 is super quiet.
The system will stay quite during the whole gaming session. Of course there will be a hum but you can cooperate with it.
• The power supply is integrated directly into the system.
Sony has kept the power supply very close CPU. I don’t understand the purpose but quite appreciable.
• Re-download all your merch to someone else’s PS3.
Sony has placed another admirable feature and that is re-download i.e. the material that you have downloaded from the PS3’s online store won’t stay blocked on your console but you will be able to shift the whole data to the other unit.
• First-party games are priced at $59.99...
Price is also quite reasonable for such an elegant and prolific device.
