Talk:PlayStation 3/Archive 2

message: Amazon is offering preorders of the ps3 for 300 US dollars: 
:Umm, no. I wish and hope it will be $300 USD, but the truth is that no one really knows (except maybe the head guys at Sony). Amazon.com now says "This item is currently not available. Customers also shopped for these similar items." Anyway, I would never take pre-orders prices by dealers as an actual price. See IGN's PS3 FAQ -
::How much will the PlayStation 3 cost?
::Unknown at this point, though Sony guru Ken Kutaragi has stated that "It will be expensive" -- so it will almost certainly be more than the sweet-spot launch price of $299. In a recent interview with Japanese economic website Tokyo Keizai, Kutaragi said the company wants "for consumers to think to themselves 'I will work more hours to buy one'. We want people to feel that they want it, irrespective of anything else." -IGN
::Except for the Ken Kutaragi quote, they are just speculating, so don't think that it must be more then $299 either. However, we do know the price of the Xbox 360 - see IGN's interview with Peter Moore on the official pricing of the Xbox 360.  There will be US$299 "core" system and a US$399 "premium" system. More at Xbox 360#Prices. -Hyad 06:35, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
:::In the wikepedia article for PlayStation 3 there has been an edit by 150.216.124.44 from 40.000 Yen to 50.000 Yen, without providing a source, this is not how it should be done. I won't change it back without better information but someone who can, please maintain the "Cost and release date" part.ShotokanTuning 10:21, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

:Do you think we are authorities on a prototype console that was just announced and will go through another year+ of revision before it is released? -- uberpenguin 13:31, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
lol yes uber!!! /sarcasm. anyways, sony has said they will feature an attachable harddrive very similar in fashion to the current one, in that respect you would have to have the recognized sony drive to save onto unless you modified the system which is very possible as we saw on the xbox mod chips (you could replace the hard drives with a larger one, for not so legal reasons sometimes) but i wouldnt count on having 3rd party hard drive support out of the box. However since sony hasn't commented on this i cant tell you for fact.
IF they do they had better accept the mac os format discs, windows dosent and it pisses me off.
:1. It's much more likely that Sony uses a proprietary format; if they can get away with it then they will be poised to make more profit.  2. Who cares?  Unfounded speculation is useless.  3. There are several NT IFS drivers for HFS and HFS+ volumes, so I don't know what you're complaining about anyway...  Microsoft chooses not to support a relatively uncommon filesystem (compared to NTFS, VFAT, EXT2 derivatives, etc) from a third-party vendor that would likely charge licensing fees in their OS, but they certainly provide the capabilities for HFS support via IFS.  How can you hold that against them? -- uberpenguin 22:56, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
