PSM3's PS3 Review With A Video Of The Startup Screen

The PS3 looks amazing (of course). i want it now!!!!

1) It's quiet like a sleeping baby. A barely audible hum. With the TV on you simply can't hear it at all.
2) It's heavy like a planet. No, really. It's impossible to pick up with one hand.
3) It's shiny like a mirror. In fact, it's impossible to take a photograph of it without the flash spanging every picture into a starburst mess. And therefore it's massively prone to fingerprintage too, with the tiny amount of dust in the office magically attaching itself to its surface in seconds.
4) The PS3 joypad is very light and the tilt system is very responsive. We like.
5) The start up is amazingly fast. And game load times were faster than expected. In fact, PS3 does both at about the same speed of PSP. ie, Long load times due to the massive Blu-ray disc? Nope. Simply not an issue.
6) Andy's fingers kept sliding off the shoulder buttons. But that's because his fingers are slippery.

Things to note:
1) The speed the machine sucks the disc in. Wow!
2) The PS3 start up sound - it's like an orchestra tuning up. Cool.
3) The similarity between the PS3 interface and the PSP interface.
4) Watch out for the first recorded lifting of the PS3's flaps.
5) Listen out for the fact that Sony don't officially have a name for the 'PS' button in the middle yet.
6) And check out those flashing blue and green lights. Groovy.

They got a PS3 with pics, looks like Sony is finally finishing up, good news.

You can't hear it, that's good.
Heavy, damn I can only imagine. I take my 360 everywhere, so this system would not be made for me.
The startup (dashboard w/e), being like the PSP one, is cheap and simple. I guess depends what you like, if it looks good or just plain works.
Load times, that was a big question. If it's fast for every game then great news.

Oh yea
The don't have a name for the Xbox Guide button... um... I mean... the PS button in the middle... yet?

Thanks for the breaking news man

I dont know why so many people are putting down the PS3, when it is superior to the 360 and Wii in so many ways.

Oh yea, I remember, no established online system, and that pricetag. Besides that, ownage on Sony's behalf. This time next year, having a PS3 will be a MUST.

I get you man, but first you gotta see how it all plays out. Dreamcast was superior to everything, what happened? I'm not saying Sony's gonna go bankrupt or anything, but specs don't = glory.

Look at the Xbox. It was better in every single way over the PS2 and Gamecube, but due to the PS2's games and support (mostly), it killed the competition. According to you, since it (Xbox) was superior in so many ways, it should have won the battle.

So I'm just saying you gotta see what happens first man

Yea but Sony is coming into it having the best exclusive library of the three. XBox came in with just the specs. So its not entirely the same.

Dreamcast was just a huge disappointment. Still mad about that.

It's about new games though. Whichever console gets the most support this generation will win, and it looks like the 360 is taking a lot of Sony's support away from it.

Remember in the past, Nintendo had the best exclusive library? Wha happened?
Sony took over.


And yea, the Dreamcast... damn it was cool
