:No, this is not factual and belongs in a consumer review article, not a Wikipedia article.  Anything you can come up with at this point is pure speculation anyway. -- uberpenguin 12:54, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
::The competition between the systems is covered in the Console wars article. It's a series of factual comparisons of systems, their marketplace success, PR, marketing etc. Sockatume 20:29, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As I pointed out earlier, this article is about the PlayStation 3, not a comparison of future competing consumer products.  The link only repeats what has already been said in the various press releases and articles currently referenced; it doesn't even seek to add any meaningful interpretation to the technical specs, just copy them.  That link might belong in an article that speculates and compares these products, but that is not the job of this article nor of Wikipedia.  -- uberpenguin 16:18, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  PS3 specs? 

message: I removed a statement that seemed to suggest the new processor for the PS3 will
cost $3Billion to produce, but the $3Billion refers to the cost of building the
new manufacturing plant in East Fishkill. At least this is what I deduce from
reading the article on the BBC website

Anybody notice parallels between the Fifth generation computer systems project and the massively-parallel Cell chip used in the PS3? — ChrisErbach

thread_title:  $3Billion Cell? 

message: Someone moved this to "PlayStation 300". That doesn't appear to be the system's name, so I moved it back. Please check your facts carefully. From a marketing standpoint it would be pretty dumb for Sony to number their system 300 when Microsoft's is numbered 360.. people will buy the higher number :)
:: Vandalism.. the oficial name is PlayStation 3. --Mateusc 01:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I just notice that Sony was too lazy to come up a new font for their PlayStation 3 logo that they just borrowed the font used in their Spider-man movie logos. Just want to point out that because I found it kinda interesting. --Chill Pill Bill 03:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

text: I like the font anyway and couldn't care less if it got changed. If they do make a new font I hope it will be one where people think that is the PlayStation 3 font. • Thorpe • 15:08, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

text: I was told by several people at E3 that the font is a placeholder.  And since they own the Spidey font, they used that to tie in with the spidey demo.  Terrapin 17:09, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
