With more same-y shoot-em-ups / 'strategy games' / PC rip-offs? w00t.

 

[:: ck ::]

i wonder in how many years it will be released

 

[tonberry_kun]

1 yr

 

[:: ck ::]

really? wow

ps2 is like kinda recent-ish

 

[tonberry_kun]

they come out every few years
then they die out and a new company takes over
just like the mega drives and the super nintendoes

psx: 94-95?
ps2: 2000
ps3: 2004

that sounds about right

That place in Chatswood, in Victoria Plaza chips em for $250. Steep.

My friend who had it chipped there has had no problems with it, comes with a three month warranty.

Didn't go so well for me...chipped and games work fine, but the laser is dodgy and they couldn't fix it after many times. The laser was dodgy before I took it there though, if that is anything worth noting. I don't think they stuffed it, because it was stuffed before. I just think they couldn't fix it. Now cos of my dodgy laser I have to boot it a few times before some games work.

And what's this rubbish about PS3? o_0
Rumours of another version of PS2 have been going around for a while (named PSX, what the hell?) but nothing about PS3...

Highlights:
Though Sony mentioned nothing about the much-rumoured PlayStation3, which currently is expected to debut in 2005, representatives indicated they plan to build a home server incorporating the "Cell" chip, which is destined for the PS3.

In addition to gaming features, the PSX incorporates features usually associated with a PC or digital video recorder (DVR), such as a DVD+RW/-RW/-R drive, 120GB hard disk drive, TV tuner, Ethernet port, USB 2.0 port and Memory Stick slot.

It has a sleek, minimalist design reminiscent of high-end stereo equipment, and uses a slot-loading disc drive instead of the conventional tray built into the PS2.

The console is to be available in the Japanese market at the end of this year and then in the US and Europe in early 2004, Sony said, but pricing was not disclosed.

slot-loading is bad... but if someone can hack the PSX it sounds pretty powerful...
