SONY PARLA DI PS3,NO CODICE REGNALE PSP E DI UNA MINI PS2!

[Anonized]

SCEE president and COO David Reeves has indicated that PSP games will probably be region-free, that PS3 will be intrinsically linked with PSX and may appear in home server and standalone gaming versions, and that Sony may announce a stripped down, PSone-style PlayStation 2 product at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo

RICAPITOLANDO: Region-free per PSP, PS3 in link con PSX e una PStwo!

Most interesting for gamers will be news that "probably [..] games will come out with no regional coding" on the PSP handheld console. Any PSP movies, however, will probably have to remain region protected, even if Hollywood decides to back the UMD format for distribution, although there may be other incentives to buying movies this way. "I think they will come up with quite a few surprises," Reeves said of his colleagues, "so that you'd want to buy a movie on UMD as well as having it on DVD. Maybe."

Reeves further suggested that in addition to a PlayStation 3 "intrinsically linked with PSX", "also there might be a normal PS3 for gamers, who just want to play the movies and have better games." The "home server" version of PlayStation 3, which has "all-singing, all-dancing features with maybe a hard disk drive", could retail for "whatever it might be, 600 or 700 Euros" according to Reeves, while the alternative might be for people who "just [want] to pay 200 Euros for a new generation games machine".

Lighting the fuse on SCEA's E3 presentation, Reeves also indicated that PSX and PSP might not be alone on the podium. "Something we haven't talked about, is that we made a change from PlayStation to PSone, so we may, in the course of time, make some cosmetic changes to PlayStation 2 and come out with something that's a little bit sexier, but probably no changes to specs or anything like that

RICAPITOLANDO: una PStwo....

Unsurprisingly Reeves came out strongly in defence of the PSP as its own product and not a Game Boy replacement. "It's not, as people have said, a new Game Boy," he said. "There are so many other features that you can add onto it, whether it's GPS or GPRS even." As for games development: "Emulators are out, and I think dev kits will probably go out in March or April - the full dev kits, with analysers and things like that." Asked about concerns over the PSP's memory allocation, Reeves confirmed "it will have 30MB of RAM, now, which it didn't have before." He also admitted that the PSP concept image we've all seen was just that. "I think it was made of fibreglass or something like that. I honestly don't know if it'll look like that or not."

The Sony Europe boss also commented on the power of the handheld, responding, when asked if it would fit between the two existing Sony formats in terms of power, "That's about where it is," before adding "I think what Phil [Harrison] would say is that people who get an early start - probably someone like Square - will take it beyond PS2."

Looking further ahead, Reeves spoke about Sony's "ultimate goal" for PlayStation 3 - "to get into electronic broadband distribution". By 2006, at which point Reeves says all Sony's current crop of hardware products should be available, the platform holder hopes we'll have always online access and viable broadband distribution. "It's going to have to be 2 or 3MB, something like that," he said. "Ken [Kutaragi]'s even talking about 30MB! And when it gets to that, then it is broadband distribution, and people then can just download whatever game they want. But it's got to be secure, and that's where DNAS [Sony's online security protocol] comes in."

RICAPITOLANDO: mah, ci credo poco...

In an interview conducted by the official PlayStation website, SCEE president and COO, David Reeves, revealed that there may be two version of the PS3 available to consumers at launch.

Reeves said that, “there might be a normal PS3 for gamers, who just want to play the movies and have better games.” This version would be aimed at those who are willing “to pay 200 Euros ($243 USD) for a new generation games machine.” Another version, considered to be a “home server”, would feature “all-singing, all-dancing features with maybe a hard disk drive” which would retail for 600-700 Euros ($728-$850 USD).
When asked about the ultimate goal of the PS3, he commented, “to get into electronic broadband distribution.” It is the hope of Sony that all users will have a broadband Internet connections at time of purchase. When asked on how fast the connection would need to be, he said, “it’s going to have to be 2 or 3 MB [per second], something like that. Ken [Kutaragi]’s even talking about 30MB [per second]! And when it gets to that, then it is broadband distribution, and people then can just download whatever game they want. But it's got to be secure, and that's where DNAS (Sony's online security protocol) comes in."

Reeves also commented that the PS3 would be “intrinsically linked with PSX” meaning that existing owners of PSX will not be left out in the cold. This could possibly mean that the base version of the PS3 would connect to the PSX to form the “home server” version of the PS3.

As E3 comes closer, we will hopefully get some more comments about the possibilities of PS3.

Le notizie sembrerebbero confermate:

http://next.videogame.it/html/notizia.php?id=28306

Sono veramente buone notizie, una PS3 a soli 200€ sarebbe un sogno, bisogna vedere se è vero, mi pare troppo bello. Anche l'assenza del blocco territoriale su PSP è ottima.

[Filippo75]

Tanto già lo so, non resisterò e comprerò quella da 700€ il giorno del lancio, con un paio di titoli orrendi obbligatoriamente in bundle.
:fesso: :earlyadopter:

[Anonized]

io ci sto già pensando!

secondo me la versione da 700 avrà sintonizzatore Tv, videoregistratore DVD e HD...

[Filippo75]

Penso anch'io, sarà un pò come adesso, che ci sono PSX a 700€ con una valanga di funzioni in più, e PS2 a prezzo ridotto, che ti fa girare solo giochi e DVD. Però l'HD secondo me ci vuole anche nella versione base.

[Anonized]

ci ho pensato su...

allora:

il master. DVD ce l'ho = un motivo in meno di comprare la PS3 da 700 euro

sintonizzatore ce l'ho già nella tv

registrare la tv italiana.... al massimo mi farei tutte le puntate di camera cafè su DVD!

[Filippo75]

Ah bè, anch'io singolarmente ho già tutto, mi mancherebbe giusto il registratore DVD...però vuoi mettere avere sotto la TV uno scatolotto tuttofare...poi io a ste cose non resisto.

se ne parla anche su 3ditalia:

Sembra che Sony potrebbe rilasciare 2 versioni della sua futura console giochi PlasyStation 3.
Stando ad un'intervista rilasciata al sito ufficiale PlayStation.com dal presidente di SCEE, David Reeves, la Casa giapponese potrebbe produrre 2 console, distinte per prezzo, caratteristiche e clientela di destinazione. La prima versione, destinata chi vuole solo utilizzare la console per la riproduzione di film DVD e per giocare, costerebbe sui 200 €, un prezzo molto interessante per chi vuole acquistare una nuova console (considerate quanto costava la PS2 al momento del debutto...); la seconda versione, destinata ad un utilizzo piu familiare, costerebbe circa 600-700 € e sarebbe una macchina definita "home server", con probabilmente anche un HD integrato per la memorizzazione di dati (foto e filmanti digitali?).
La console PS3 sarà dotata di connessione ad internet a banda larga. Gli utenti potranno, mediante il protocollo DNAS, un protocollo sicuro di comunicazione messo a punto da Sony, di poter anche scaricare giochi da internet. Inoltre, la PS3 si potrà connettere alle vecchie PSX in modo da non abbandonare a sé stessi i proprietari delle vecchie macchine.
