Sony is set to crush MS's party

Quote
Speaking on conditions of strict anonymity, a trusted insider source has revealed to C&VG that Sony will unveil an actual prototype PS3 unit on their next-generation booth and that rather than just a mock up, it will be a near final design of the next generation of PlayStation.

This is shocking news.

Didn't the whole world know this already?

Maybe there's some substance to those rumors that it "could" launch in 2005 now? If Sony are smart though, they'll wait until 2006 to release it, though I guess it doesn't really matter, since it's PLAYSTATION it'll sell regardless. It would be funny if they launched a day before Xbox 360 though, that would pretty much kill that console.

I thought they wanted to do that on their pre-E3 conference?

"Sony is set to crush MS's party"

And Nintendo's if the Rev doesn't make a significant appearance. Though I imagine (or hope anyway) that Nintendo is basing their showing on what the competition shows. They're showing last so they have a lot of flexibility in what they show.

I agree with Ian... It seems that's what Nintendo is planning. Perrin's comments right after MTV X360 are evidence.

OptimusPrime · « **Reply #5 on:** May 13, 2005, 01:56:41 PM »

I can see it now at NOA's HQ
Reggie: "Right that Xbox360 MTV thing like totally suckd, time to move in and build up some momentum"
Kaplan: "great i'll go call the New York Times and tell how big the Rev is gonna be"
Reggie: "Good idea, then we slowly wind up the boot like Burns did in the one Simpsons episode where he was looking for a heir and kick MS ass at 17 May
Kaplan: "Owh Reggie, i like it when you talk about kicking ass..."
Reggie: "That's why you hired me Perrin...now how about i did some Reggielution on your ass"...

Or something like it...

I'm getting a mental image of Perrin and Reggie in an uncomprising position and it's not that pretty.

In related news, everybody who clicks on this thread after Ian's post suffers from acute mental scarring.

Here is a rumor I have not heard before

MacDailyNews.com - Sony & Apple working on PS3

Quote
The moderator of PS3 Forums, "The Unofficial PS3 H.Q." has posted the following:

Apple + Sony = PS3

I am now hearing stronger rumors that Sony is indeed working with Apple on the PS3. Most of this work is based around support for iTunes and iPop on the PS3.

iPod connectivity - Ability to connect the iPod to the PS3 and play it's music through the PS3 to your stereo or other audio playback devices. Will also provide some graphical effects on your TV during playback

iTunes linkup - Access iTunes and your music through the PS3. Purchase and download additiona tracks through the PS3. Wirelessly play iTunes music from your PC/Mac through the PS3

Sync support - Use the PS3 to sync your iPod with iTunes, no need for a PC or Mac to sync and add/remove tracks and organize playlists.

Apple may also be helping Sony with some UI design for the PS3 dashboard interface. No links, and for that I appologize, but I figured people would like to hear this information anyways. If the rumors hold true, this would be mutually benefitical for Sony and Apple in a lot of ways.

What do you guys think of this rumor?

OptimusPrime · « **Reply #13 on:** May 14, 2005, 12:58:27 PM »

The real question should be:why work with Apple for iTunes-support for the PS3 if your making your own iTunes competitor for the PSP?
Seeing that the guy only talks about the PS3 and not the PSP adds to the fact that this is probably not true. And didn't Sony hate iTunes because it eats away their income on record sales?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 14, 2005, 03:41:42 PM »

it called profit sharing, the PSP cannaot compete w/ the iPod in mass storage portable mp3 player market, but if tey make it so that every song d/l from PS3 sony gets a share of the profits, and Apple gets a huge boost in iTunes userts who are now more likely to either buy an iPod to d/l music or just 70mil PS3 users who are d/ling music from iTunes whether they have an iPod or not.

Apple is a funny company.

For every one brillant business decision Steve Jobs has, he has an equally stupid one around the corner...

But, doesn't Sony already have a music download service?

KDR_11k · « **Reply #16 on:** May 14, 2005, 09:04:19 PM »

Sony Connect. And besides, Apple isn't going to partner with Sony, at least not any more than with Microsoft (the Xenon can connect to the iPod).

Why does everybody throw around the "Apple card"? Apple doesn't bring anything to the table except a brand name.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #17 on:** May 15, 2005, 08:43:55 AM »

I see a possible partnership with PSP and iTunes...but nothing more...

Has anyone seen the pics of the Sony bus stop ads? Here:

Welcome Chang3? I wonder what Sony has planed. It's an exciting week at least

PaLaDiN · « **Reply #19 on:** May 15, 2005, 09:23:45 AM »

I have strong distrust of anything that uses numbers as letters. Except internet Arabic, because there's really no choice there.

Those icons are bits of the DualShock buttons. They'll be changing the controller, I'm guessing with a trackball. Or maybe just the symbols on the buttons, but I have no idea why that would be welcome to anybody except FAQ writers.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 15, 2005, 11:20:14 AM »

There are actually 4 different color ads with those 'Predator' like symbols on them

every color show different parts of the PS button symbols

Real or Fake, only E3 will tell

PS3 - top view

I say its a fake, no question about it. The 3 doesn't look right for one thing, looks likt it was edited from the back of a PSP

p.s. I only post this cause its from a 'supposed insider'(no credibility) that doesn't want it posted, it was supposed to be a secret

Galford · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2005, 03:51:32 PM »

"Why does everybody throw around the "Apple card"? Apple doesn't bring anything to the table except a brand name"

Thank You KDR...

Let's put this deal another way, iTunes and iPod are number 1 in their respective markets.
Apple doesn't need Sony to help sell iTunes or iPods.

Sony, however, could use iTunes to help legitamize the PSP as a mulit-function device.
Sony benefits from this deal much more then Apple does.

LOL!?

That is the worst mockup ever. You can see the lines on the 3 where it's another color. No to mention is not nearly as wide as the other letters. The things along the top are terrible too, you can see the black where they were cut from other images.

I can't believe they thought it'd convince people.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #24 on:** May 15, 2005, 11:35:30 PM »

Those half symbols apparently mean it's a half assed system. But hell, MS is talking about a new era, Sony is talking about change, sounds like they've taken a cue from Nintendo and the reaction of gamers towards the promise of innovation.
