23 things to know about the PS3
The guys over at PS3fanboy.com have compiled a somewhat wacky list of the 23 best things to know about the Playstation.
Here's what they came up with:
Quote:
1. Touch sensitive power/eject buttons are a classy touch (as opposed to the "clicky" on/off buttons we're used to).
2. 15,000 kiosks by the end of November across the US!
3. Nothing about the unit screams "cheap Blu-ray player!" ...Sturdy, substational... quite simply, super cool.
4. Not all games will be 1080p, but most will be 720p.
5. The SIXAXIS controllers does not feel too light -- great for the motion capabilities, and able to withstand some serious grip pressure.
6. Similarly, the SIXAXIS motion sensing does take some getting used to. Responds better to subtle, gentle motions. No crazy arm waving, please!
7. The PSP will connect via Wi-Fi to the PS3's hard drive.
8. The SIXAXIS has about 30 hours of battery life and then a short recharge. However, once the rechargings do squat, it's time to get a new one. Or just keep it plugged in via USB. But... wires are so cumbersome.
9. No lag on the wireless controller -- thanks, Bluetooth!
10. Wireless range extends to about 65 feet.
11. $50 for a new controller, should you want one.
12. $14.99 adaptor moves all your PS2 and PSX saves onto the PS3... and that's exactly what this blogger plans to do so he can get online with Phantasy Star Universe (although he really wants to see a new turn-based Phantasy Star RPG... come on, Sega! Please?)
13. Blu-ray disc is slot-loading and "works like a dream". Once the disc was ejected, the game being played kept on going (as if it had a good chunk of data moved onto the hard drive... would at least cut load times quite a bit).
14. An LED on the PS3 tracks hard drive activity, much like a PC. One step closer.
15. The first 500,000 PS3's will come bundled with a Blu-ray movie (Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby).
16. There's still the emergency abort-all hard power-off switch on the back of the PS3, like the PS2.
17. It's very shiny. Only touch with gloved hands, lest your fingerprints will stain the beauty.
18. It's... sexy. Unanimous journalist opinion, apparently.
19. Super quiet! Rating of 22 decibels -- slightly above a human whisper. Sweet.
20. Plug n' play with a USB keyboard to surf the net.
21. The power supply (aka "hot brick of doom") is integrated right into the system.
22. Re-download all your merchandise to someone else's PS3 -- log in with your account info on someone else's console and bam! All your stuff are belong to... you.
23. First party titles are $59.99... yep.
