and this is more of a personal preference but imo the hd-dvd packin (king kong) is a much better flick to show off the format. thats one of those big budget awe inspiring flick that shows off what next gen gives you. Not that ricky bobby is bad but its not the same of a show off piece as king kong will be.

2. to me that bluetooth remote is going to be something that people really knock sony for (unless they have some sort of a usb based ir device). Most people getting a ps3 will want to integrate it into their universal remotes (ie harmony, htm etc) and you wont be able to do that with your ps3. Many of the people buying them at launch are using it for a dual use gaming/movie playback and not integrating into your existing universal remote will make alot of people mad. ]]>Oct 21st 2006 2:39PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Good point on the remote. I didn't even think about that.

And you're right, King Kong may not be the best movie, but it does have a lot of eye-candy that will look great in HD. But they are using Ricky Bobby because it won't be available for purchase on Blu-Ray when the PS3 ships, so you are getting the movie early with the console.]]>Oct 21st 2006 2:46PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 21st 2006 4:13PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/

The PS3 system will come bundled with one SIXAXIS wireless controller, an AC cord, a USB mini-cable, an ethernet cable, and composite cables. No component.

For all the boasting Sony's done about experiencing high-definition in 1080p resolutions, we're disappointed the company won't step up and include component cables (let alone HDMI) with PlayStation 3. So, to experience PS3's HD experience, not only do you have to purchase the machine, but additional cables, too, or risk being left behind.


sorry but i am not getting a PS3 right away until the price drops to at the most $400 to be fair since i am paid that much for the 360. Plus seeing how the IBM engineer saying that the Cell CPU has a 40% yield rate meaning 6 out of 10 CPUs don't work and if only 1 of those 6 CPU manages to find it's way into a PS3 you just spent $600 for a DOA machine so as the saying goes best things come to those who wait :-)]]>Oct 21st 2006 7:04PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 21st 2006 8:19PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 22nd 2006 7:59AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 21st 2006 8:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 22nd 2006 12:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/
Later. Maybe. It's the Sony mantra! :)

However powerful the PS3 is this will still look shitty, Its all very good when people say "oh you canjust buy the cables" but how many lay people buy additional cables? I'm guessing 20% tops.

So we have 80% of PS3's hooked up with composite and all its problems (including lack of HD), Pretty soon the word is going to get round that the PS3 graphics don't look very good.]]>Oct 22nd 2006 2:11AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 23rd 2006 4:36PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV1nAiRRGnA

Blu-ray movies has about 90% movie studio support (about 50% of those you won't see on HD-DVD). HD-DVD movie studio support is about 40% (most of which will be on Blu-ray). HD-DVD had a 3 month head start on Blu-ray, but will most likely be overtaken by Blu-ray before the year is out. MGM has over 1000 titles converted to high-def ready to go on the Blu-ray format (Blu-ray Exclusive titles). The PS3 is worth the purchase on just being a Blu-ray player alone!]]>Oct 23rd 2006 5:55AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/
Upconverting in the player yields a better picture then letting the tv do the upconvert since the chips in the players are typically a lot better then the ones in the tv.

As for blu-ray overtaking hddvd by the end of the year, I doubt that. http://www.thedvdwars.com/index.cfm If you were referring to that in relation to the release of the PS3, 400K units is barely splashing the waters and most of them will be gobbled up by Sony enthusiast. If the X360 launch was any indication, it won’t be till spring/summer till the average consumer will be able to walk in and pick up a PS3.

If your studios figures are correct, than I’m rather disappointed with blu-ray’s standing TODAY. You would think they would have trampled hddvd by now…. but wait, it’s $1K to get in the door. If most consumers don’t think it’s important, don’t care, or don’t have the money for hdtv’s, they certainly won’t be buying blu-ray players at that price. PS3 at $500 doesn’t help if it’s vaporware. ]]>Oct 23rd 2006 11:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 23rd 2006 8:53AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Did I miss an update?]]>Oct 23rd 2006 9:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/10/21/playstation-3-hd-details-revealed-at-gamers-day/Oct 23rd 2006 4:49PM
